Q:

You are discussing the use of virtual machine templates for deployment with a customer. The customer is unsure of the
differences between the templates and clones and does not understand why they should create templates at all. Which
of the following examples would you use to demonstrate the difference between them? Choose two.
A:
Templates cant be edited or powered on and so are ideally suited for consistently deploying large numbers of identically
configured virtual machines
Clones are exact copies of virtual machines at the time of cloning and so are best suited for quickly creating test and
development copies of virtual machines.
Clones include all snapshots that are active on a virtual machine so you must use clones if you want to make a copy of virtual
machine snapshots
Templates are extremely portable and can be used to export and transport fully configured virtual machines outside of your
vSphere environment

Q:
Your customer has an application solution that runs 4 virtual machines. They need to replicate this solution repeatedly
over a period of time into a number of separate production instances. What deployment method would you recommend
to your customer as being the most suitable for their needs? Choose one.

A:
Power off the virtual machines and convert them to 4 templates. These 4 templates should be used to deploy 4 new virtual
machines when required.
When a new instance of the solution is required the 4 new virtual machines should be cloned from the original application
solution virtual machines.
Convert the 4 virtual machines to a single template. When a new instance of the application solution is required deploy the virtual
machines using this template.
Make multiple clones of the running virtual machines and copy them to secondary storage until they are required. Migrate the
clones to production as required.
Q:
You have proposed a solution for a customer to extend an existing vSphere cluster that supports HA and DRS where all
virtual machines run Windows 2008. The existing cluster uses Intel Xeon X5650 CPUs, and you have specified the same
CPUs for the new hosts in your proposal. The customer has challenged your design, indicating that they believe there
are more cost effective hosts available that use AMD CPUs. What major impact would choosing the AMD based hosts
have? Choose one.
A:
vMotion, and fully automated DRS, would no longer work between all hosts
HA could not be used as VMs might crash if restarted on the new hosts
DRS could only continue to be used if it is reconfigured to use Cold Migration
The customer would have to create an EVC DRS cluster to support both host types
Q:
Your customer is using snapshots in their environment as they want to return the virtual machine and virtual disks to
the state that they were in when they took the snapshot. However, when they revert to a previous snapshot the virtual

machine is powered off. What could be the possible cause? Choose one.
A:
Your customer did not select the option to snapshot the virtual machine memory
Your customer did not select the option to quiesce the guest memory
Virtual machine are always restored in a powered off state from a snapshot
Your customer did not have VMware tools installed in the guest operating system
Q:
You are trying to hot-add an IDE disk to a running virtual machine; however the option is greyed out. What could be the
possible cause for this? Choose one.
A:
The virtual machines guest operating system does not support hot adding hardware
It is not possible to hot-add IDE disks to a running virtual machine
The virtual machine is does not have VMware Tools installed
The vSphere host does not have any unassigned physical IDE disks
Q:
You customer has asked you to present your design for a vSphere cluster to support their production environment.
When they examine the design, they notice that you have specified a total amount of physical RAM lower than the total
amount of RAM they have specified for the virtual machines that the cluster will be required to support. They are
concerned that the solution will be unable to support the virtual machines with the configuration they require. Which of
the following vSphere features should you discuss with the customer in order to explain how vSphere can support the
memory over-commitment that you have integrated into your design? Choose three.
A:
Transparent Page Sharing
Page compression
Memory Compression
Memory Thrashing
Ballooning
Q:
Your customers existing backup solution can backup virtual machines but it can only perform full backups. They are
interested in using the vSphere Data Protection appliance to replace their existing VM backup solution, but would like to
know more information regarding its benefits. Which of the following are benefits of using VDP? Choose two.
A:
VDP uses vSphere replication to recover virtual machines and files from another vCenter Server
VDP uses changed block tracking to minimize the amount of data to process for each backup
VDP does not require additional management software
VDP can only restore files for powered on virtual machines
Q:
Your customer has a vSphere 5.5 environment where all hosts are correctly configured with vSphere Standard Edition.
They have a virtual machine running from the local storage of one of the hosts that they want to live migrate to shared
storage using enhanced vMotion. When they select the migrate option in the vSphere Client they notice that they are
not presented with an option that will allow them to vMotion the machine, but they can use Storage vMotion. Why are
they unable to use enhanced vMotion to migrate the VM and its storage at the same time? Choose one.
A:
Enhanced vMotion migration requires an Enterprise License

Enhanced vMotion migration requires an Enterprise Plus License

Enhanced vMotion is only available as an option in the vSphere Web client
They have not configured the cluster for Enhanced VMotion Compatibility
Q:
You are engaged in the planning stage prior to a large scale deployment of virtual machines which will have various
hardware configurations. Which of the following are important steps in order to effectively plan the environment?
