A vSphere administrator needs to add a CPU to a virtual machine, but upon editing the VM settings the option is grayed out.
What would explain this behavior?

• A.The virtual machine has been configured with a CPU limit
• B.The virtual machine is in a resource pool with no available CPU resources
• C.CPU Hot-add has not been enabled on the virtual machine
• D.The virtual machine is running

A Windows Server 2008 virtual machine with the following configuration receives an Out of
Space condition indicator:
The virtual machine uses thin provisioned virtual disks.
The VMFS5 datastore on which the virtual machine's files reside is on a thin provisioned LUN.
30% of the VMFS datastore content is no longer needed.
The storage array supports VASA and VAAI.
Which action should the vSphere administrator take to resolve the Out of Space problem without requesting additional space on the storage array?

• A.Delete unneeded files on the VMFS datastore and then use vmkfstools to reclaim deleted blocks.
• B.Delete some files from the guest OS and defrag its file system.
• C.Delete some files from the guest OS and use vmkfstools to reclaim the deleted blocks.
• D.Delete unneeded files on the VMFS datastore, right-click the datastore in vSphere Web Client, and then select the Reclaim Deleted Blocks option.

A vSphere administrator needs to perform packet tracing from a Linux virtual machine. The virtual machine is attached to a vSphere Standard Switch configured with several VLANs.
Which approach could the administrator use to configure the network to capture all traffic from the Linux virtual machine?

• A.Configure the port group containing the virtual machine for Promiscuous Mode. Set the port group to use VLAN 1.
• B.Configure a vSphere Distributed Switch with VLAN Trunking. Connect the virtual machine to the switch and enable Port Mirroring on the port group containing the virtual machine.
• C.Configure the virtual switch with VLAN Trunking and specify each VLANs on the port group containing the virtual machine.
• D.Configure a vSphere Distributed Switch with VLAN Trunking. Create a port group and configure it with Promiscuous Mode. Connect the virtual machine to that port group.

A new LUN from an existing storage array is presented to a vSphere cluster. A vSphere administrator determines that the LUN is visible on all but one ESXi host in the cluster. The affected host is able to see existing LUNs presented from the same storage array.
What is the most likely cause?

• A.LUN Masking is improperly configured on the storage array.
• B.The SAN fabric is improperly zoned.
• C.The ESXi host has NOT been rebooted.
• D.The HBA in the host is incompatible with ESXi.

A VMware administrator needs to simplify the placement of virtual machines. The administrator also needs to balance I/O load and space utilization automatically.
Which combination of features should the administrator use to achieve this?

• A.Create a Datastore Cluster and enable Storage I/O Control on each datastore
• B.Enable Storage DRS and Storage I/O Control on each datastore
• C.Enable Storage I/O Control on each datastore and configure Storage vMotion
• D.Create a Datastore Cluster and enable Storage DRS on the cluster
