What two options are available when configuring a virtual flash resource on a virtual machine? (Choose two.)
What two options are available when configuring a virtual flash resource on a virtual machine? (Choose two.)
When configuring a virtual flash resource on a virtual machine, you can specify the block size and the reservation. The block size determines the size of the units of data for the flash resource, while the reservation allows you to set aside a specific amount of the flash resource to ensure it is always available for the virtual machine's use.
A vSphere Administrator recently upgraded to vSphere .6.5 and wants to assign more than 4 TB of RAM to the virtual machine.
What must happen first?
In order to assign more than 4 TB of RAM to a virtual machine in vSphere 6.5, the virtual machine's compatibility needs to be upgraded to version 13. This version supports configurations that allow this amount of RAM. Upgrading the VM compatibility ensures the virtual machine can take advantage of the features and hardware capabilities in vSphere 6.5.
A vSphere Administrator recently introduced a new shared storage solution for the ESXi hosts. Despite good device specifications, this new storage solution is not performing well.
What are two VMware-recommended troubleshooting steps for fixing this? (Choose two.)
Checking the VMware Hardware Compatibility List ensures that the new storage solution is supported and compatible with the ESXi hosts, while verifying that the drivers and firmware are at the recommended versions ensures that the hardware and software can work together efficiently. These steps are crucial for troubleshooting and optimizing performance.
A VM has the following configuration:
✑ 2 vCPU
✑ 4 GB RAM
✑ HDD1 10 GB
✑ HDD2 20 GB
A vSphere Administrator creates a snapshot of a powered off VM.
What is the maximum size of all of the snapshots that can be consumed on the datastore?
The maximum size of all the snapshots that can be consumed on the datastore is 100% of the datastore minus 512 bytes. In VMware vSphere, snapshots can grow to the full size of the datastore because they store changes to the VM's disk. Thus, there is potential for a snapshot to use up all available space in the datastore except for a small overhead buffer (512 bytes). This ensures that the VM and other processes can still operate without running completely out of space.
Which two methods can a vSphere Administrator use to automatically synchronize time on an ESXi host? (Choose two.)
To automatically synchronize time on an ESXi host, a vSphere Administrator can use two methods: by logging into the VMware Host Client and navigating to Host > Manage > Time & Date and clicking Edit settings, or by selecting the host in the vSphere Web Client, navigating to Configure > System > Time Configuration and clicking the Edit button. These methods allow the administrator to configure NTP settings, ensuring time synchronization.
