An administrator needs to understand the core components of a vSphere environment. Which component is responsible for managing the virtual machine lifecycle, including powering on, powering off, and migrating VMs?

A company is deploying a new vSphere cluster and needs to enable vMotion functionality. What is the primary purpose of vMotion in a vSphere environment?

An administrator is configuring a vSphere cluster and needs to understand the relationship between ESXi hosts and vCenter Server. Which statement accurately describes this relationship?

A vSphere administrator needs to configure distributed switching for a large environment with 50 ESXi hosts. What is the primary advantage of using vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) over Standard Switches?

An organization is planning their vSphere architecture and needs to understand storage access methods. In a vSphere environment, what protocol is typically used for block-level storage access over an IP network?

An administrator is deploying vCenter Server in a new environment. Which deployment model allows vCenter Server to be deployed as a pre-configured virtual appliance?

A vSphere administrator needs to create a new virtual machine for a database application that requires 8 vCPUs and 64 GB of RAM. What is the first step the administrator should take before creating this VM?

An administrator is configuring networking for a new vSphere cluster. The environment requires separation of management traffic, vMotion traffic, and VM traffic. What is the recommended approach to accomplish this?

A company needs to add a new ESXi host to an existing vSphere cluster that has DRS and HA enabled. After adding the host to the cluster, what happens to the cluster features?

An administrator is configuring storage for virtual machines and needs to understand datastore types. A company has a SAN that presents LUNs to ESXi hosts via Fibre Channel. What type of datastore should be created on these LUNs?

A vSphere administrator needs to perform maintenance on an ESXi host that is part of a cluster running production VMs. The cluster has DRS configured in Fully Automated mode. What is the correct procedure to prepare the host for maintenance?

An organization needs to deploy multiple VMs with identical configurations for a web application. What vSphere feature should the administrator use to streamline this deployment process?

A vSphere administrator notices that several VMs in a cluster are experiencing CPU contention. The cluster has DRS enabled but VMs are not being migrated to balance the load. What is the most likely reason?

An administrator needs to ensure that a critical database VM always has access to 16 GB of physical RAM, even when the host is under memory pressure. What resource management setting should be configured?

A vSphere environment is experiencing performance issues. An administrator wants to identify which VMs are consuming the most CPU resources across multiple hosts. What tool should be used?

An administrator has configured a resource pool with a CPU reservation of 10 GHz and a CPU limit of 20 GHz. What happens if the VMs in the resource pool collectively try to use 25 GHz of CPU?

A company's vSphere environment shows increased storage latency during peak business hours. Which vSphere feature can help identify which VMs are generating the most storage I/O?

An administrator needs to implement VM-level security by limiting which users can power on specific virtual machines. Where should these permissions be configured?

A company requires that all management traffic between vCenter Server and ESXi hosts be encrypted. Which feature provides this capability in vSphere?

An organization needs to ensure that their critical VMs automatically restart on other hosts if an ESXi host fails. The environment has a cluster with sufficient resources on multiple hosts. What vSphere feature provides this capability?
