Question 4

An administrator needs to update a VMware vCenter instance to a newer minor release version. Due to restrictions within the environment, the vCenter instance does not have access to the Internet As a first step, the administrator downloads the required update on another machine.

What are the next steps the administrator must perform to complete the update?

A Place the update ISO file in a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore.

' Use the vSphere Client to select the update ISO file as the source for the update.

APlace the update ISO file in a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore.
Use the vSphere Client to select the update ISO file as the source for the update

BMount the ISO update file to the CD-ROM drive of the vCenter instance
Use the vCenter Management Interface to select the CD-ROM as the source for the update

CPlace the ISO update file in a folder accessible to the vCenter instance over HTTPS.
Use the vCenter Management Interface to select the update file as the source for the update

DPlace the ZIP update file in a folder accessible to the vCenter instance over HTTPS
Use the vSphere Client to select the update file as the source for the update.

Answer : B

Question 5

An administrator is preparing to perform an update to vSphere clusters that are running vSAN. The administrator wants to ensure that the following requirements are met as part of the update:

* All hosts in the cluster are updated with the same software.

* The firmware versions on the hosts are updated

* The new software versions are checked for compliance against the vSAN Hardware Compatibility List.

Which three steps should the administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

AConfigure vSphere Lifecycle Manager with an image for the cluster.

BRegister the vendor hardware management system as a vCenter Server extension.

CDownload the firmware updates from the VMware website

DDownload the firmware updates from the vendor website.

ERun a hardware compatibility check using vSphere Lifecycle Manager

FConfigure vSphere Lifecycle Manager with a baseline for the cluster.

Answer : A, B, E

The administrator should take these three steps to perform an update to vSphere clusters that are running vSAN:

Configure vSphere Lifecycle Manager with an image for the cluster, which allows the administrator to specify the desired ESXi version and firmware for the hosts in the cluster.

Register the vendor hardware management system as a vCenter Server extension, which allows the administrator to update the firmware on the hosts using vSphere Lifecycle Manager. The vendor hardware management system can also provide the firmware updates to vSphere Lifecycle Manager, so there is no need to download them from the vendor website separately.

Run a hardware compatibility check using vSphere Lifecycle Manager, which verifies that the new software and firmware versions are compatible with the vSAN Hardware Compatibility List.

Question 6

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?

AApply 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.

BApply 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.

CApply 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.

DApply 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.

Answer : D

Option D is correct because it allows the administrator to apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object and enable propagation, which will apply to all of the inventory objects in vCenter, and then apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters, which will override the Global permissions and allow users to edit all of the inventory objects associated with the workload vSphere clusters. Option A is incorrect because it will not enable propagation for the Global permissions, which will limit the Read Only role to the root vCenter object only. Option B is incorrect because it will enable propagation for both the Global and vCenter permissions, which will create a conflict between the Read Only and custom roles. Option C is incorrect because it will not enable propagation for either the Global or vCenter permissions, which will limit the Read Only role to the root vCenter object only and the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters only.

Question 7

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.)

AEnsure that the source and destination vCenter instances share the same Key Management Server (KMS).

BEnsure that Encrypted vMotion Is turned off for the VM.

CEnsure that the VM is encrypted before attempting the migration.

DEnsure that the VM is powered off before attempting the migration.

EEnsure that the source and destination vCenter Servers have a different Key Management Server (KMS).

Answer : A, C

To ensure a successful migration of an encrypted VM to a secure environment, the administrator needs to ensure that the source and destination vCenter instances share the same Key Management Server (KMS), which provides encryption keys for both environments; and ensure that the VM is encrypted before attempting the migration, which allows preserving its encryption status during vMotion.
