accounts and user permissions in order to meet audit compliance requirements. Which of the following
vSphere configurations is most suited to their requirements? Choose one.
A:
vCenter Single Sign On
Q:
Your customer has a number of large vSphere datacenters with a large team of vSphere administrators.
With their hardware vendor of choice, they already have the ability to log support tickets online and
automatically dispatch replacement hardware. The IT organization has been given challenging new
targets to improve overall service levels, and your customer is looking at options to help them further
improve their overall system downtime record. Which new VMware vSphere plug-in should you suggest
that they implement to help them achieve these objectives? Choose one.
A:
VMware vCenter Support Assistant
Q:
Your customer has specified that they require a solution that can automatically restart virtual machines
reliably if their physical host crashes. Which vSphere feature provides this functionality? Choose one.
HA
Q:
Your customer is concerned that vCenter will become a significant risk in their environment if it is
virtualized in the same environment that it manages. You point out to them that, in fact, running vCenter
as a VM is not only supported by VMware but is recommended because - why? Choose two reasons.
A:
vSphere High Availability can and will restart a failed vCenter Server on another host in a vSphere cluster
if the host it is running on fails
The vCenter appliance can only be deployed as a virtual machine

Q:
Your customer has said that storage allocation decisions are causing serious administration issues for
their Virtual Infrastructure administrators and they need a solution that will allow them to simplify or
eliminate this task. Which vSphere technology will allow them to specify the storage to be used for a VM
