An administrator needs to ensure that virtual machines automatically restart on another host if the original host fails. Which vSphere feature should be enabled to accomplish this?

A company has a critical database VM that cannot tolerate any downtime, even during host failures. The VM has a single vCPU and runs a supported guest OS. Which solution provides continuous availability with zero downtime?

An administrator is designing a vSphere cluster that must support both automated load balancing and automatic recovery from host failures. The cluster will host production workloads with varying resource requirements. Which combination of features should be enabled?

An administrator needs to add an ESXi host to vCenter Server. What is the minimum permission role required to perform this operation?

A vCenter Server manages 15 ESXi hosts across three clusters. The administrator needs to perform maintenance on vCenter Server. What happens to running virtual machines during vCenter Server downtime?

An administrator needs to upgrade ESXi hosts in a production cluster with zero impact to running VMs. The cluster has vSphere HA and DRS enabled in fully automated mode. What is the recommended approach?

An organization has multiple vCenter Servers managing different datacenters. The administrator needs to enable unified visibility and management across all vCenters. Which feature should be implemented?

A virtual machine is experiencing performance issues. An administrator wants to increase the CPU resources allocated to the VM. Which action should be taken?

An administrator needs to migrate a running virtual machine from one host to another without any downtime. Both hosts have access to the same shared storage. Which technology enables this capability?

A virtual machine template needs to be deployed with customized hostname, IP address, and domain membership for each new VM. Which technology should be used to automate this customization?

An administrator creates a snapshot of a VM before applying updates. After testing, the updates are successful and should be kept. What is the best practice for handling the snapshot?

An administrator needs to ensure that a virtual machine's memory is not overcommitted and that it always has guaranteed physical RAM allocated. Which memory configuration should be set?

In a vSphere cluster with resource pools, what happens to child resource pool resource allocations when the parent resource pool's resources are reduced?

An administrator notices that a VM is experiencing high CPU ready time. What does this metric indicate?

An administrator needs to create a new standard switch on an ESXi host to provide network connectivity for management traffic. What is the minimum requirement to create a functional standard switch?

A company wants to centralize network configuration management across multiple ESXi hosts and enable advanced networking features like NIOC and NetFlow. Which solution should be implemented?

An administrator configured NIC teaming on a standard switch with two physical uplinks. The load balancing policy is set to 'Route based on originating virtual port'. How does this policy distribute network traffic?

An administrator needs to provision storage for virtual machines. Which storage protocol provides block-level access and uses TCP/IP for connectivity?

A virtual machine needs to be migrated to a different datastore while remaining powered on. The source and destination datastores are on different storage arrays. Which technology enables this migration?

An administrator is implementing a new vSphere cluster and needs to choose a datastore file system that supports features like snapshots, thin provisioning, and clustering multiple hosts. The storage is a SAN. Which file system should be selected?
