A vSphere administrator needs to add more space to an existing 3-node Virtual SAN cluster. The attempts to add the new host to the cluster as a contributing member have failed. However, it can be added as a non-contributing member.
The host was previously used in a single host configuration. The administrator recently upgraded the host from ESXi 5.1 to 5.5 prior to adding it to the cluster. What is the reason for this failure?
2.
An administrator has deployed vSphere Data Protection and wants to configure several virtual machine backup jobs. When using the vSphere client on a Windows 7 desktop, the administrator notices that there is no icon for vSphere Data Protection in the Solutions and Applications area of the vSphere client. What is the reason the administrator is unable to access vSphere Data Protection from the vSphere client on their desktop?
3.
An administrator needs to unmount a datastore that is also used for HA storage heartbeats. What is the least disruptive method for an administrator to perform this activity on a slave HA host?
4.
When deploying two sibling resource pools (RP1 and RP2), an administrator needs to make all resources in RP1 available to virtual machines in RP2. Which configuration should the administrator use to meet this requirement?
5.
During a physical network reconfiguration, an ESXi host briefly lost connection to the management network. High Availability (HA) began powering off the virtual machines residing on the affected host to be restarted on an unaffected host in the cluster. Which setting should the administrator configure to prevent this behavior in the future?
6.
A vSphere administrator needs to increase the capacity of an existing Storage Distributed Resource Scheduler (SDRS) datastore cluster. The storage administrator has provisioned two new NFS datastores to be added to the cluster. The vSphere administrator receives an error message, preventing the administrator from adding the newly provisioned datastores to the cluster. What is the likely reason that the action failed?
7.
A vSphere administrator attempts to move a powered on virtual machine into a resource pool that is configured in an HA/DRS cluster. The operation fails. What condition would cause this behavior?
8.
An application team is implementing a new solution in the virtualized environment. The application vendor states the application is memory intensive. The application is very unstable when operating without adequate on-demand access to physical memory. The application's virtual machines are assigned to the Mission Critical resource pool. Which resource pool setting will help ensure the application has adequate access to memory?

What will cause the validation of a vMotion migration to fail?

How is changed block tracking (CBT) used in a vSphere implementation?
