Question #21
Which option allows administrators to quickly revert to a consistent VM state prior to a major software installation or patching within the guest OS?
- A . vSphere Replication
- B . VM Snapshots
- C . Storage vMotion
- D . VM Encryption
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
VM Snapshots capture the VM’s state (disk and memory) for easy rollback. Replication (A) copies VMs to a remote site, Storage vMotion (C) migrates the VM’s disk to another datastore, and Encryption (D) secures data but isn’t used for rollback.

Question #22
What are three prerequisites for deploying an NSX Edge cluster in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution? (Choose three.)
- A . Set up vSAN storage policies for the Edge VMs.
- B . Verify that the NSX host overlay VLAN and NSX Edge overlay VLAN are routed to each other.
- C . Create DNS entries for the NSX Edge nodes.
- D . Use separate VLAN IDs and subnets for the NSX host overlay and NSX Edge overlay networks.
- E . Configure BGP as a dynamic routing protocol on the physical switches.
- F . Install Aria Operations and enable Edge Cluster monitoring.
Correct Answer: B,C,D
B,C,D
Explanation:
The NSX host overlay VLAN and NSX Edge overlay VLAN must be routed to each other so Edge nodes can establish overlay tunnels with transport nodes.
DNS A records for each NSX Edge node are required for name resolution during deployment and operation.
NSX requires distinct VLAN IDs and subnets for the host overlay network (transport nodes) and the Edge overlay network to segregate traffic and avoid IP space conflicts.

Question #23
Which feature of VMware Lifecycle Manager allows an administrator to manage the lifecycle of ESXi hosts by applying a consistent image across the hosts in a cluster? (Choose three.)
- A . Configure a Key Management Server (KMS) and add it to vCenter
- B . Create an encryption policy in vCenter.
- C . Enable SSH on the ESXi hosts to manage encryption keys.
- D . Enable the encryption feature on the ESXi hosts.
- E . Apply the encryption policy to the existing VMs.
Correct Answer: A, B, E
A, B, E
Explanation:
A Key Management Server (KMS) is required to manage encryption keys in the environment, ensuring that encrypted data is securely managed across ESXi hosts.
Creating an encryption policy in vCenter allows administrators to define how encryption is applied to virtual machines and data.
Applying the encryption policy to the existing VMs ensures that the encryption settings are enforced on virtual machines that require protection.

Question #24
Which of the following are valid ways to integrate external storage arrays with a VMware environment?
- A . Using iSCSI or FC adapters on ESXi hosts to connect to SAN LUNs
- B . In-guest NFS for file shares
- C . vVols for granular VM-level control on supported arrays
- D . Combining vSAN and array-based storage in a single datastore
Correct Answer: A, C
A, C
Explanation:
ESXi can use iSCSI/FC to connect to SAN LUNs (A), and vVols (C) provides per-VM management. In-guest NFS (B) is possible but not a typical approach for hosting VM disks. Combining vSAN and array-based storage (D) into a single datastore is not supported.

Question #25
An organization is implementing a downtime avoidance solution and wants to ensure continuous availability of applications across separate sites that are connected via a high bandwidth/low latency link.
Which two VMware Cloud Foundation components support this capability with stretched clusters? (Choose two.)
- A . vSAN
- B . vSphere
- C . NSX Firewall
- D . vVOL
- E . vSphere Replication
Correct Answer: A, B
A, B
Explanation:
vSAN: vSAN supports stretched clusters, allowing data to be mirrored across multiple sites to ensure continuous availability and enable high availability for virtual machines in case of a site failure.
vSphere: vSphere also supports stretched clusters, enabling the high availability of applications across multiple sites by allowing virtual machines to be run on either site in the event of a failure.

Question #26
Which of the following are recommended design or operational considerations for a multi-site vCenter Server architecture?
- A . Deploying multiple vCenters in Enhanced Linked Mode for a single pane of glass
- B . Running each vCenter with only 2 vCPUs for minimal resource footprint
- C . Having a robust inter-site link with sufficient bandwidth and low latency
- D . Maintaining consistent SSO domain configuration across sites
Correct Answer: A, C, D
A, C, D
Explanation:
Enhanced Linked Mode (A) consolidates management. Inter-site bandwidth and low latency (C) are essential for replication and data synchronization, and consistent SSO domain settings (D) avoid authentication conflicts. Using only 2 vCPUs (B) can severely limit performance in medium-to-large environments.

Question #27
Which methods can help encrypt or protect data stored within a VMware environment?
- A . vSAN Encryption for hyper-converged storage
- B . VM Encryption for individual VMs’ virtual disks
- C . Storing all VM data on ephemeral port groups
- D . Enabling ESXi secure logging
Correct Answer: A, B
A, B
Explanation:
vSAN Encryption (A) secures data at rest on vSAN, and VM Encryption (B) protects specific VM disks. Ephemeral port groups (C) relate to networking, not storage encryption, and secure logging (D) ensures log integrity but doesn’t encrypt VM data.

Question #28
The administrator of a VMware Cloud Foundation environment notices that log data from multiple components, including vSphere, NSX, and vSAN, is not being collected properly in Aria Operations for Logs.
What two steps should the administrator perform to resolve this issue? (Choose two.)
- A . Check the network connectivity between the Aria Operations for Logs server and the VMware Cloud Foundation components.
- B . Increase the storage capacity of the Aria Operations for Logs server to accommodate more log data.
- C . Reconfigure the log level settings on all vSphere components to ensure detailed logging.
- D . Verify that the Aria Operations for Logs license is still valid and active.
- E . Ensure that the syslog configuration on each ESXi host is pointing to the correct Aria Operations for Logs server.
Correct Answer: A, E
A, E
Explanation:
Ensuring network connectivity between the Aria Operations for Logs server and VMware Cloud Foundation components is crucial. If there are network connectivity issues, logs may fail to be transmitted to the Aria Operations for Logs server.
The syslog configuration on each ESXi host must be set correctly to point to the Aria Operations for Logs server to ensure that log data from ESXi hosts is collected and sent to the log management system.
