A vSphere Web Client task fails while creating a VMFS datastore on a disk with these characteristics:
The disk was formatted with an Master Boot Record (MBR) partition table
The disk was not erased
The disk is visible in the vSphere Web Client
What action needs to be performed to resolve the issue?
2.
After configuring a Virtual SAN cluster, an administrator using the vSphere Web Client notices that the Virtual SAN datastore is smaller than expected. The cluster contains:
Three ESXi hosts
Each host has one 10GB SDD
Each host has one 100GB HDD
Why would the Virtual SAN datastore show as 100GB instead of 300GB?
3.
An administrator tries to capture network traffic for a virtual machine, but cannot see the expected traffic in the packet capture tool. Which step can resolve the problem?
4.
An administrator is unable to upgrade a vCenter Server Appliance from version 5.1 Update 2 to version 6.0. What is a likely reason for this?
5.
An administrator has migrated a vCenter Server Appliance from version 5.5 to version 6.x. During the migration, the administrator selected DHCP for the appliance and obtained a hostname from the DHCP server. The administrator adjusts the hostname after the migration and uses a static IP and hostname. What should the administrator do immediately after this change to prevent service failures?
6.
An administrator is unable to patch an ESXi 6.x host using VMware Update Manager. What is an alternative option for patching a host?
7.
Attempting to update an ESXi 6.x host using the following command:
esxcli software vib update -d update.zip
Generates the following error:
Could not download from depot at /tmp/index.xml, skipping (('/tmp/index.xml', '', "[Errno 4] IOError: index.xml'>")) url = /tmp/index.xml
What action should be taken to correct the problem?
8.
A failed upgrade from vCenter Server version 5.x to version 6.0 produces the following error:
[00800 error 'Default'] Database version id '600' is incompatible with this release of VirtualCenter.
What is the cause of the upgrade failure?
9.
An administrator is troubleshooting a performance problem with a virtual machine (VM). The VM and ESXi host configuration is as follows:
The application which runs within the virtual machine is highly sensitive to memory latency, but has low processor utilization.
The virtual machine has 6 vCPUs.
The ESXi host CPU topology has 2 Physical CPU Sockets, each with 8 Logical CPUs.
The ESXi host CPU has Hyper Threading enabled.
The administrator would like to improve CPU performance for this VM. Other VMs on the host have no performance issues. Which action should the administrator take to resolve the issue?
10.
When troubleshooting a performance related issue, an administrator sees the following warning message on an ESXi Console:
Significant imbalance between NUMA nodes detected. Performance may be impacted. Which action should the administrator take to correct this problem?
