An administrator must gracefully restart a virtual machine (VM) through the vSphere Client but the option is greyed out. The administrator has full administrative access on VMware vCenter and all the objects available in vCenter, but has no access to log onto the operating system.
Which action should the administrator take to meet the objective?

1. A. Upgrade the virtual hardware
2. B. Migrate the VM to another host
3. C. Install VMware Tools
4. D. Restart vCenter

Correct Answer: C
Installing VMware Tools will enable the graceful restart option for the virtual machine, as well as other features such as time synchronization and guest OS customization.

An administrator is tasked with implementing a backup solution capable of backing up the Supervisor cluster, vSphere Pods, and persistent volumes.
Which two solutions must be used to meet this requirement? (Choose two.)

1. A. VMware vCenter
2. B. Standalone Velero and Restic
3. C. NSX-T Manager
4. D. vSphere Host Client
5. E. Velero Plugin for vSphere

Correct Answer: BE

An administrator is responsible for performing maintenance tasks on a vSphere cluster. The cluster has the following configuration:
. Identically configured vSphere ESXi hosts (esx01, esx02, esx03 and esx04)
• All workloads are deployed into a single VMFS datastore provided by the external storage array
• vSphere High Availability (HA) has not been enabled
• vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) has not been enabled Currently, a critical production application workload (VM1) is running on esx01.
Given this scenario, which two actions are required to ensure VM1 continues to run when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode? (Choose two.)

1. A. Fully automated DRS must be enabled on the cluster so that VM1 will be automatically migrated to another host within the cluster when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
2. B. VM1 must be manually shut down and cold migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
3. C. vSphere HA must be enabled on the cluster so that VM1 will be automatically migrated to another host within the cluster when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
4. D. VM1 must be manually live migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
5. E. VM1 must be manually migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere Storage vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.

Correct Answer: AD
Two actions that are required to ensure VM1 continues to run when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode are enabling fully automated DRS on the cluster, which allows balancing the workload across hosts and migrating VMs without user intervention; and manually live migrating VM1 to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion, which allows moving a running VM without downtime.

An administrator creates a new corporate virtual machine (VM) template every month to include all of the latest patches. The administrator needs to ensure that the new VM template is synchronized from the primary data center site (London) to two secondary data center sites (Tokyo and New York). The administrator is aware that datastore space is limited within the secondary data center sites. The administrator needs to ensure that the VM template is available in the secondary sites the first time a new virtual machine is requested.
Which four steps should the administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose four.)

1. A. Create a new published content library at the primary site.
2. B. Add the virtual machine template to the subscribed content library.
3. C. Create a new published content library in each secondary site.
4. D. Create a new subscribed content library in each secondary site.
5. E. Configure the subscribed content library to download content when needed.
6. F. Configure each subscribed content library to download content immediately.
7. G. Add the virtual machine template to the published content library.

Correct Answer: ADEG
To meet the requirements of synchronizing and protecting images and templates with limited datastore space, the administrator needs to create a new published content library at the primary site, which makes it available for subscription by other vCenter Server instances; create a new subscribed content library in each secondary site, which allows accessing content from a published content library; configure the subscribed content library to download content when needed, which saves datastore space by only downloading content on demand; and add the virtual machine template to the published content library, which makes it available for other hosts to use.
