An administrator needs to understand the role of vCenter Server in a vSphere environment. Which statement accurately describes vCenter Server's primary function?

A virtual machine is experiencing poor performance, and the administrator notices the VM is constantly swapping memory to disk. The host has sufficient free physical memory available. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

An administrator is deploying a new virtual machine and needs to select the appropriate virtual hardware version. Which factor is MOST important when determining the virtual hardware version to use?

A company needs to implement network isolation for different departments while using a single physical network adapter per ESXi host. Which vSphere networking feature should be configured?

What is the purpose of VMware Tools in a virtual machine?

An administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue where a VM cannot communicate with other VMs on the same host. The VM can be pinged from the ESXi host but not from other VMs. What should the administrator check first?

A datacenter has experienced a power failure, and an ESXi host has lost connectivity to its shared storage. Several VMs were running on this host. What vSphere feature would automatically restart these VMs on other hosts in the cluster?

An administrator notices that a virtual machine's disk performance has degraded significantly. The VM is using a thick provisioned eager zeroed virtual disk on a VMFS datastore. What should the administrator investigate to identify the performance bottleneck?

A company wants to ensure that critical production VMs always have sufficient CPU resources even during periods of high contention. Which resource management setting should be configured?

An administrator is configuring storage for a vSphere environment and needs to connect to an iSCSI storage array. Which type of VMkernel adapter must be created on the ESXi host?

What is the primary benefit of using vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) over vSphere Standard Switch (VSS)?

An administrator attempts to power on a VM but receives an error stating insufficient resources are available. The cluster has plenty of free CPU and memory. What is the most likely cause?

Which storage protocol provides block-level access to storage and uses Fibre Channel networking infrastructure?

An administrator needs to perform maintenance on an ESXi host that is part of a DRS-enabled cluster. What should the administrator do to ensure VMs are safely migrated off the host?

A VM running a database application is experiencing intermittent network connectivity issues. The administrator notices that the VM is occasionally losing network connectivity for a few seconds at a time. Physical network infrastructure has been verified as operational. What vSphere feature should the administrator check?

An organization needs to ensure that VMs from the development and production environments never run on the same ESXi hosts due to security policies. Which vSphere feature should be implemented?

An administrator is troubleshooting a virtual machine that fails to power on with an error indicating the VM's configuration file is locked. What is the most likely cause and resolution?

What is the primary purpose of a resource pool in vSphere?

An administrator needs to create a network configuration where virtual machines on the same host can communicate with each other but are completely isolated from external networks. What type of virtual switch configuration should be used?
