A. The appliance has been configured to use an external Single Sign-On server.
B. The administrator did not export the appliance configuration.
234
Which two statements are true regarding upgrading from a Distributed vCenter Server 5.x to vCenter Server 6.x? (Choose two.)
A. vCenter Single Sign-on becomes part of the Platform Services Controller.
C. The vCenter Server service is not migrated during the upgrade process.
235
An administrator has noticed that virtual machine VM2 in the vApp shown in the Exhibit is demonstrating poor performance.
Which three changes, if performed separately, would improve the performance of VM2? (Choose three.)
A. Remove the CPU limit on the vApp.
D. Power off virtual machine VM1.
E. Increase the CPU reservation on virtual machine VM2.
236
An administrator is configuring resource pools for a vSphere 6.x cluster. The cluster has these characteristics:
* Five ESXi 6.x hosts
* Six cores per host
* 70 virtual machines with 1 vCPU each
The administrator configures three resource pools and places the virtual machines into the pools, as follows:
* Production pool - High Share value with 40 virtual machines
* Infrastructure pool - Medium Share value with 20 virtual machines
* Development pool - Low Share value with 10 virtual machines
Given this configuration, what is the expected performance for each group of virtual machines during contention?
C. Virtual machines in all resource pools will perform equally.
237
An administrator has decided to create 10 ESXi 6.x hosts via Auto Deploy for a new Test/Dev cluster. The hosts are configured to obtain their networking configuration via DHCP.
Which condition would explain why none of the hosts are able to receive a valid DHCP address?
A. The BIOS DHCP File Name was incorrectly entered on the DHCP server.
238
An administrator wants to clone the configuration of an existing ESXi 6.x host to a new group of hosts, but does not want to clone storage specific settings.
Which action would accomplish this?
B. Remove sub-profile
239
When operating with Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and Distributed Power Management (DPM), what two statements explain the impact of disabling vSphere High Availability admission control? (Choose two.)
C. DRS will evacuate virtual machines from hosts and places hosts in maintenance or standby modes regardless of the impact this might have on failover requirements.
D. VMware DPM will place hosts in standby mode even if doing so violates failover requirements.
240
An administrator has configured a cluster with the Host Failures Cluster Tolerates admission control policy, as shown in the Exhibit:
Based on the exhibit, which two statements are true? (Choose two.)
B. The cluster can sustain loss of only one node.
C. The number of slots per cluster node is three.
