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.)
A. Create a new published content library at the primary site.
B. Add the virtual machine template to the subscribed content library.
C. Create a new published content library in each secondary site.
D. Create a new subscribed content library in each secondary site.
E. Configure the subscribed content library to download content when needed.
F. Configure each subscribed content library to download content immediately.
G. Add the virtual machine template to the published content library.
Answer: ADEG
Explanation:
You create a published library at the primary site, subscribed in each secondary site, configure to
download when needed (due to limited) space and add the template to the primary site.
An administrator is tasked with migrating a single virtual machine (VM) from an existing VMware
vCenter to a secure environment where corporate security policy requires that all VMs be encrypted.
The secure environment consists of a dedicated vCenter instance with a 4-node vSphere cluster
and already contains a number of encrypted VMs.
Which two steps must the administrator take to ensure the migration is a success? (Choose two.)
A. Ensure that the source and destination vCenter instances share the same Key Management Server
(KMS).
B. Ensure that Encrypted vMotion is turned off for the VM.
C. Ensure that the VM is encrypted before attempting the migration.
D. Ensure that the VM is powered off before attempting the migration.
E. Ensure that the source and destination vCenter Servers have a different Key Management Server (KMS).
Answer: AC
An administrator is tasked with providing users access to objects within an existing VMware
vCenter instance. The vCenter inventory has a single data center with one management vSphere
cluster and five workload vSphere clusters.
The following requirements must be met for assigning the users access:
- Users must only be able to view all of the inventory objects associated with the management
vSphere cluster.
- Users must be able to edit all of the inventory objects associated with the workload vSphere
clusters.
- The administrator creates a custom role to provide the permissions needed to allow users to edit
inventory objects.
Which series of steps should the administrator complete to assign the custom role and provide the
required level of access to users?
A. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object.
Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters and enable
propagation.
B. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object and enable
propagation.
Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters and enable
propagation.
C. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object.
Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters.
D. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object and enable
propagation. Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters
D
An administrator has a requirement to revert a running virtual machine to a previous snapshot after
a failed attempt to upgrade an application. When the administrator originally took the snapshot, the
following choices in the Take Snapshot dialog were made
Snapshot the virtual machine’s memory = false
Quiesce guest file system = false
What will be the result of the administrator selecting the 揜evert to Latest Snapshot” option to
return the virtual machine to a previous snapshot?
A. The virtual machine will be restored to the parent snapshot in a powered on state.
B. The virtual machine will be restored to the parent snapshot in a powered off state.
C. The virtual machine will be restored to the child snapshot in a powered off state.
D. The virtual machine will be restored to the child snapshot in a powered on state
Answer: B
Explanation:
Powered on (does not include memory) Reverts to the parent snapshot and the virtual machine is
powered off.
Powered off (does not include memory) Reverts to the parent snapshot and the virtual machine is
powered of

upgrade.
Which interface should the administrator use to complete the restore?
A. Direct Console User Interface (DCUI)
B. vCenter Management Interface (VAMI)
C. vSphere Client
D. vCenter GUI Installe
Answer: D
Explanation:
The vCenter GUI Installer is a graphical user interface that can be used to deploy and restore a
vCenter Server appliance. It can be used to restore a vCenter Server appliance from a file-based
backup.
An administrator needs to provide encryption for workloads within an existing vSphere cluster.
The following requirements must be met:
- Workloads should be encrypted at rest.
- Encrypted workloads must automatically be encrypted during transit.
- Encryption should not require any specific hardware.
What should the administrator configure to meet these requirements?
A. Encrypted vSphere vMotion
B. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot
C. Host Encryption
D. VM Encryption
Answer: D
Explanation:
VM Encryption, because this is the only option that not require specific hardware.
After a number of outages within a production VMware software-defined data center, an
administrator is tasked with identifying a solution to meet the following requirements:

A. VMware Aria Operations for Logs
B. VMware Skyline Advisor Pro
C. VMware Skyline Health
D. VMware Aria Operations

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.)
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.
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.
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.
D. VM1 must be manually live migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion
before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
E. VM1 must be manually migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere Storage vMotion
before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode

A vSphere cluster has the following vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) group
configuration:
- Virtual machine (VM) group named DB
- Host groups named PROD11 and PROD55
The administrator wants to force the VMs in the DB group to run on the hosts in the PROD11 group.
However, if all the hosts in PROD11 go offline for maintenance, then the VMs in the DB group
should run on hosts in PROD55.

C. A required rule between the DB group and the PROD11 group
D. A required rule between the DB group and the PROD55 group
Answer: A
Explanation:
A preferential rule between the DB group and the PROD11 group. This is the only rule that
accomplish them.
