Your customer is designing a new Virtual Infrastructure that has to be able to support
the rapid deployment of additional capacity. They need to ensure that new vSphere
hosts that are brought online are rapidly and reliably provisioned with a minimum of
manual intervention. They have confirmed that they want the solution to install ESXi
once only; after it has been deployed they want the server to boot from disk and be
re-deployed on every boot. Which solution should you recommend for this customer?
Choose one.
A: 1
Auto-deploy with Stateful install
Auto-deploy with Stateless caching
Auto-deploy with Stateless profiles
Auto-deploy with Stateful caching

application cluster of 8 virtual machines which you have established can be supported
by just two physical ESXi hosts. Which version of vCenter should you include in your
proposal? Choose one.
A: 3/2
vCenter Server for Essentials
vCenter Server Foundation
vCenter Server Standard
vCenter Server Enterprise

You are working on an initial proposal for a large scale virtualization installation

Ensure that vCenter Heartbeat is installed on a separate Virtual Machine with Single
Sign- On

When building the design specification for a new vSphere 5.5, you have to define the

When completing the vCenter Installable installation for a new vSphere 5.5
environment, you find that although you can ping the ESXi hosts from the vCenter
Server, and get no errors when testing the network from the ESXi console, you cannot
successfully add any ESXi hosts to your new vCenter installation. Which of the
following are items you should check in order to resolve this problem? Choose one.
A: 1
Check whether there is a firewall or NAT between vCenter and the ESXi hosts
Check that the account you are using to log in to vCenter has the rights to add hosts
Check that the ESXi hosts have had their correct licenses applied
Check that the ESXi management IP addresses are in the same subnet as vCenter





Your customer is upgrading their environment from a vSphere Essentials Plus kit with
three hosts to a much larger environment where they will require at least 600 hosts
and expect this will need to support up to 6000 virtual machines eventually. They
have said that they would prefer to use the vCenter Appliance in their solution, but
you cannot confirm this until they answer which of the following questions?
A: 2
Are they able to deploy a virtual appliance to their Active Directory?
Are they able to deploy and support an Oracle Database?
