QUESTION 76
An administrator is using vSphere auto deploy to Deploy 25 ESXi hosts. The information used for deployment will be stored using an answer file.
What are three ways that auto deploy can acce
ss the answer file? (Choose Three) (PLEASE REVIEW)
A. ISO
B. CIFS
C. SFTP
D. HTTP
E. NFS
Answer: CDE
Explanation:
Prior it was 3 choices – then one – then none because of the following answers.. I think this question is incomplete and personally think it was talking about answer files alone. Just note all the autodeploy doc’s dont say. The only protocol they mention is HTTP.
Also, since the AD server is Linux based that would only mean SFTP and NFS would work or could work if it is 3 options. HTTP would be correct if it was one answer..
Corrrect answer should be none… I don’t think this is correct because of the following excerpt:
The answer file is not stored in a location or format that administrators can access. Use the Host Profiles UI in the vSphere Client to manage
answer files.
The correct answer is D. HTTP. See the VMware AutoDeploy Administrator’s guide, page 9 http://labs.vmware.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/autodeploy_fling.pdf
The administrator does not need to access the files, the question is about auto deploy process downloading the configuration file. The document doesn’t mention other ways but HTTP. The question might be wrong on VCP test, this way nobody could score 500 But if I have to choose 3 answers, I would go with C. SFTP, D. HTTP and E. NFS.
Vsphereking, thank you very much for the hard work, I’m taking VCP test next week.
THIS ONE is kind of interesting… from what I have been reading… Answer files are stored differently when using Auto Deploy… From what I gather below and from the admin guide itself AutoDeploy Completely stores and gives management of the answer files to vCenter. It is not accessible to admins…..
Pay close attention as well.. Previously Kickstart installs and upgrade/Install scripts could be stored on these types of storage-access protocols but Auto Deploy is Completely Different! All these answers to this question are wrong IMO as the correct answer should be a new one –
vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-auto-deploy-guide
The installation or upgrade script can reside in one of the following locations (normal upgrade):
o FTP
o HTTP/HTTPS
o NFS
o USB flash drive
o CDROM
When you install ESXi using the ks.cfg script, the default root password is mypassword.
o The following locations are supported for the installation or upgrade script:
o CD/DVD.
o USB Flash drive
o A location accessible with the following protocols: NFS, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP
When using AutoDeploy:
The answer file is not stored in a location or format that administrators can access.
Use the Host Profiles UI in the vSphere Client to manage answer files.
QUESTION 77
Which two conditions will prevent a virtual machine from being successfully migrated using Storage vMotion? (Choose two)
A. The virtual machine has active snapshots
B. The virtual machine has an in progress installation of VMware Tools.
C. The virtual machine has a disk that is configured as independent non-persistent.
D. The virtual machine has a disk that is configured as persistent.
Answer: BC

QUESTION 78
A host failure occurs in vSphere HA cluster, but virtual machines from the failed host are not restarted on the surviving nodes in the cluster.
Which two conditions explain this behavior? (Choose two)
A. HA has been configured to use a dedicated failure host, and the failed host is designated failover host.
B. An anti-affinity rule configured and restarting the VMs would place them on the same host.
C. The virtual machines on the failed host are HA disabled.
D. Host Monitoring is disabled
Answer: CD
Explanation:
Prior: B and D
After: C and D Because B makes no sense H/A does not account for DRS rules. You can disable HA at the VM level.
QUESTION 79
Which vSphere feature cannot be used with virtual machines that are enabled for VMware Fault Tolerance? (Choose two)
A. EVC
B. Storage vMotion
C. RDMs in virtual compatibility mode
D. VMware SMP
Answer: BD

Virtual Machine Requirements for Fault Tolerance
You must meet the following virtual machine requirements before you use Fault Tolerance.
■No unsupported devices attached to the virtual machine. See Fault Tolerance Interoperability.
■Virtual machines must be stored in virtual RDM or virtual machine disk (VMDK) files that are thick provisioned. If a virtual machine is stored in a VMDK file that is thin provisioned and an attempt is made to enable Fault Tolerance, a message appears indicating that the VMDK file must be converted. To perform the conversion, you must power off the virtual machine.
■Incompatible features must not be running with the fault tolerant virtual machines. See Fault Tolerance Interoperability.
■Virtual machine files must be stored on shared storage. Acceptable shared storage solutions include Fibre Channel, (hardware and software) iSCSI, NFS, and NAS.
■Only virtual machines with a single vCPU are compatible with Fault Tolerance.
■Virtual machines must be running on one of the supported guest operating systems. See the VMware knowledge base article at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008027 for more information.

B. The datastore is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.
C. The datastore must not have any contents.
D. The datastore must not be part of a datastore cluster.
