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.

The vCenter inventory contains a virtual machine (VM) template called Linux-01. The administrator wants to install a software patch into Linux-01 while allowing users to continue to access Linux-01 to deploy VMs. Which series of steps should the administrator take to accomplish this task?

2.

Clone Linux-01

3.

Convert the clone to a VM

4.

Install the software patch.

B. 1. Convert Linux-01 to a VM 2 Install the software patch 3 Convert the VM back to a VM template 4 Add Linux-01 to the content library.

C. 1. Verify that Linux-01 is in a content library

2.

Checkout Linux-01

3.

Install the software patch

4.Check in Linux-01

D. 1. Clone Linux-01.

2.

Convert the clone to a VM

3.

Install the software patch.

4.

Convert the VM back to a template.

An administrator is asked to configure a security policy at the port group level of a standard switch.

A. Forged transmits set to reject

B. MAC address changes set to accept

C. Promiscuous mode set to reject

D. Promiscuous mode set to accept

An administrator Is looking to deploy a new VMware vCenter Instance. The current environment consists of 75 hosts and is expected to grow up to 100 hosts over the next three years. Which deployment size should the administrator select?

A. Medium

B. Tiny

C. Large

D. VMware vCenter

E. VMware Ana Operations

A vSphere cluster has the following configuration:

Virtual machines (VMs) are running Production and Test workloads

vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) is enabled

There are no resource pools in the cluster

Performance monitoring data shows that the Production workload VMs are not receiving their fully allocated memory when the vSphere cluster is fully utilized.

A combination of which two steps could the administrator perform to ensure that the Production VMs are always guaranteed the full allocation of memory? (Choose two.)

A. Assign a custom memory share value to the resource pool containing the Production VMs.

B. Assign a memory reservation value to the resource pool containing the Production VMs.

C. Create a parent resource pool for the Production VMs.

D. Create a sibling resource pool for each of the Production and Test VMs.

E. Create a child resource pool for the Test VMs.

Exhibit switch

An administrator configures a distributed switch and adds the first VMware ESXi server to it.

The administrator also performs the following activities:

The administrator assigns two uplinks to the distributed switch.

The administrator enables uplink teaming.

When attempting to perform a health check of the teaming policy, the health status of the Teaming and Failover reports as ' Unknown?, as seen in the exhibit.

What can the administrator changes in the distributed switch for the health status to report correctly?

B. Add a minimum of two hosts with two uplinks each

C. Add a minimum of three hosts with four uplinks each

D. Add a minimum of two hosts with one uplink each
