An administrator has recently upgraded their Update Manager infrastructure to vSphere
5.x. Several hosts and virtual machines have not been upgraded yet.
Which vSphere component when upgraded will have the least impact to the existing environment?
Answer : D
Explanation:
VMware Tools isn't a single application but a set of drivers, services and user processes that's installed in a guest operating system. They add a wide assortment of functionality to
VMware infrastructures -- everything from improving color depth and video resolution in the vSphere Client to memory optimization.
Typically, an outdated version of VMware Tools doesn't have an immediate impact. But with every update to vSphere, you'll likely have to update VMware Tools on every virtual machine.
An administrator is using Update Manager 5.x to update virtual appliances in a vSphere environment. The environment is using the vCenter Server Virtual Appliance (vCSA).
What would cause the remediation to fail?
Answer : D
Explanation:
Update Manager 5.0 does not support virtual machine patch baselines. If a host is connected to vCenter Server by using an IPv6 address, you cannot scan and remediate virtual machines and virtual appliances that run on the host.
An administrator is working to update the hosts and virtual machines in a vSphere 5.x deployment using Update Manager Baselines.
Other than host patches, which three items require a separate procedure or process to update? (Choose three.)
Answer : A,D,E
Explanation:
Operating system patches are related to operating system so they need a separate procedure altogether. Same is the case with VMware tools and applications patches because applications are stand alone pieces of code that need separate procedure to apply a patch.
A series of Auto Deploy ESXi 5.x hosts, which utilize vSphere Standard Switches, are unable to boot. In prior testing, all of the hosts were able to boot successfully.
Which two conditions might cause this issue? (Choose two.)
Answer : B,D
Explanation:
If the TFTP server is down, ESXi will not boot because it needs TFTP to get the information. Similarly, when DHCP is down, it will not assign the IP addresses and ESXi needs IP address to boot properly.
