Users are experiencing performance issues when updating their database hosted on a virtual machine. The administrator determines that disk I/O is high across one of the HBAs on the ESXi host containing the virtual machine. Which action will most likely correct the issue without significantly impacting other users or datastores?
An administrator wants to monitor the health status of an ESXi host. However, when the administrator clicks the Hardware Status tab the following error is displayed: This program cannot display the webpage What might cause this problem?
A vSphere 5 implementation consists of a fully automated DRS cluster with two ESXi 5.x hosts with the following vSphere Standard Switch configuration:
1. Switch A. three vmnics, one port group named sFTP-PG
2. Switch B. two vmnics, one port group named Web-PG
3. All vmnics are trunked to the same physical switch.
DRS has been configured with an anti-affinity rule for all virtual machines in the Web-PG so that no more than half of the virtual machines run on any given host. The virtual machines on WebPG are experiencing significant network latency. The network team has determined that a performance bottleneck is occurring at the ESXi host level. Which solution will require the least amount of administrative work and the least amount of service interruption?
An administrator is setting up vMotion in a vSphere environment. A migration is run to test the configuration, but fails. What could the administrator do to resolve the issue?
An administrator is unable to connect a vSphere Client to an ESXi host. Which option can be selected from the direct console to restore connectivity without disrupting running virtual machines?
An administrator is updating a program running on a virtual machine. The update file has been downloaded as an .iso file and placed on a shared NFS datastore. An attempt to mount the .iso file to the virtual machine fails, but subsequent testing shows that the .iso file can be mounted to a virtual machine running on another ESXi host. Which step can be taken to enable access to the .iso file for the affected virtual machine?
An administrator is responsible for enabling file access for desktop users. Many users have complained that they cannot access their files. An alert in the vSphere Client states that the storage connectivity alarm for all hosts has been triggered. The storage screen indicates that everything is connected, but the triggered alert has not been acknowledged. Which action will correct the user access problem?
An administrator is informed that there will be a storage maintenance window and that failovers may occur. What is the expected length of time that a Windows 2008 virtual machine storage I/O will pause during a path failover?
