EVC Requirements
Hosts in an EVC cluster must meet certain requirements.
To enable EVC on a cluster, the cluster must meet the following requirements:
■All virtual machines in the cluster that are running on hosts with a feature set greater than the EVC mode
you intend to enable must be powered off or migrated out of the cluster before EVC is enabled.
■All hosts in the cluster must have CPUs from a single vendor, either AMD or Intel.
■All hosts in the cluster must be running ESX/ESXi 3.5 Update 2 or later.
■All hosts in the cluster must be connected to the vCenter Server system.
■All hosts in the cluster must have advanced CPU features, such as hardware virtualization support (AMD V
or Intel VT) and AMD No eXecute (NX) or Intel eXecute Disable (XD), enabled in the BIOS if they are
available.
■All hosts in the cluster should be configured for vMotion. See Host Configuration for vMotion.
■All hosts in the cluster must have supported CPUs for the EVC mode you want to enable. Processors
Supported in EVC Clusters lists the processor families supported for each EVC mode. To check EVC
support for a specific processor or server model, see the VMware Compatibility Guide at
http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php
Any host added to an existing EVC enabled cluster must also meet the requirements

--> QUESTION 2
A vSphere 5 implementation consists of a fully automated DRS cluster with the following vNetwork Standard
Switch configuration.
1. Switch A: two vmnics, one port group named sFTP PG
2. Switch B: one vmnic, one port group named Web PG
3. All vmnics are trunked to the same physical switch
DRS has been configured with an anti affinity rule for all virtual machines in the Web PG so that no more
than half of the virtual machines run on any given host. The virtual machine on WebPG are experiencing
significant network latency. The network team has determined that a performance bottleneck is occurring at
the ESXi host level.
Which solution will require the least amount of administrative work and least amount of service interruption?
A. Move a vmnic from Switch A to Switch B on each host.
B. Migrate Web PG to Switch A and sFTP PG to Switch B on each host.
C. Convert the three Switcg Bs to a single vNetwork Distributed Switch.
D. Use vMotion to redistribution some of the VMs in Web PG to a different ESXi host.
Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation/Reference:
(Explanation sscllc):
So let us examine this is a problem with resource contention on a NIC on a host. VDS WILL NOT FIX the
problem because dvuplinks are the same as uplinks on the ESX host experiencing a problem.
B should be incorrect, you cannon migrate networking on a VSS
VMotion should not be a solution, DRS already has VMotion and knows where to place VMs using defined
rules.
I think it should be A

QUESTION 3

QUESTION 4
Which two statements are true regarding a mixed DRS cluster with Intel Intel Based and AMD based ESXi
hosts? (Choose two)
A. DRS can load balance running virtual machines, using all hosts in the cluster
B. HA can failover virtual machines to any host in the cluster
C. FT can be configured for this cluster
D. EVC can be enabled for this cluster
Answer: BC
Section: (none)
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A is wrong – You cannot vMotion VM between Intel and AMD CPUs

06D9 463F A64F D4EC20DAF22E.html).
B is right – VM is powered on during HA failover so the CPU vendor does not matter.
C is probably right – Secondary VM will be automatically placed on a host with the same CPU vendor and
DRS load balancing is disabled for FT on non EVC clusters.
D is wrong – All hosts in EVC enabled cluster must have CPUs from a single vendor, either AMD or Intel.

QUESTION 7
A new ESXi host is set up with two virtual machines. A memory limit is applied do that users will have
predictable performance as virtual machines are added to the host.
What is the effect of applying a memory limit these virtual machines?
A. No physical memory will be granted above the limit, unless expandable reservations are enabled.
B. No physical memory will be granted above the limit, but disk pages can be used.
C. Physical memory will be granted above the limit under normal conditions, but he limit will be enforced if
connection occurs.
D. Physical memory will be granted above the limit under normal conditions. Disk pages will be used if
connection occurs.
Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Shares Specify the relative priority for a virtual machine if more than the reservation is available.
Reservation Is a guaranteed lower bound on the amount of physical memory that the host reserves for the
virtual machine, even when memory is overcommitted. Set the
reservation to a level that ensures the virtual machine has sufficient memory to run efficiently, without
excessive paging.
After a virtual machine has accessed its full reservation, it is allowed to retain that amount of memory and
this memory is not reclaimed, even if the virtual
machine becomes idle. For example, some guest operating systems (for example, Linux) might not access
all of the configured memory immediately
after booting. Until the virtual machines accesses its full reservation, VMkernel can allocate any unused
portion of its reservation to other virtual machines.
However, after the guest’s workload increases and it consumes its full reservation, it is allowed to keep this
memory.
Limit Is an upper bound on the amount of physical memory that the host can allocate to the virtual machine.
The virtual machine’s memory allocation is also
implicitly limited by its configured size. Overhead memory includes space reserved for the virtual machine
frame buffer and various virtualization data structures.

QUESTION 8
Which two conditions could prevent HA from powering on a virtual machine? (Choose two)
A. An ESXi host has been placed into maintenance mode

Dozens of default alarm definitions are provided by the vSphere Client, which you can locate in the Alarms
tab for an inventory object. One of these default alarms is Datastore usage on disk, which you use to
monitor the percentage of disk usage. This kind of alarm is important if the virtual machines in the
datastore have virtual disks in the thin provisioned format. With thin provisioning, at first a thin provisioned
disk uses only as much datastore space as the disk initially needs. However, if the thin disk needs more
space later, it can grow to the maximum capacity allocated to it.
With thin provisioning, it is possible to oversubscribe storage space if the virtual machines grow unattended.
An alarm set on the datastore can notify you when the space issues threaten to become critical.

QUESTION 37
An administrator is migrating a virtual machine in a DRS cluster. The migration fails the validation check
because of a CPU incompatibility issue.
Which two steps can be taken to resolve this issue? (Choose two)
A. Identify the CPU feature incompatibility, and then disable the feature in the BIOS of the effected ESXi
hosts.
B. Configure EVC for RDS (DRS?) cluster.
C. Configure EVC for each ESXi host.
D. Identify the CPU feature incompatibility, and then mask the feature on all virtual machines in the cluster.
Answer: BD
Section: (none)
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
CPU Compatibility and EVC
vCenter Server performs a number of compatibility checks before allowing migration of running or
suspended virtual machines to ensure that the virtual machine is compatible with the target host.
vMotion transfers the running state of a virtual machine between underlying ESXi systems. Successful live
migration requires that the processors of the target host be able to provide the same instructions to the
virtual machine after migration that the processors of the source host provided before migration. Clock
speed, cache size, and number of cores can differ between source and target processors, but the
processors must come from the same vendor class (AMD or Intel) to be vMotion compatible.
Migrations of suspended virtual machines also require that the virtual machine be able to resume execution
on the target host using equivalent instructions.
When you initiate a migration with vMotion or a migration of a suspended virtual machine, the Migrate
Virtual Machine wizard checks the destination host for compatibility and produces an error message if there
are compatibility problems that will prevent migration.
The CPU instruction set available to the operating system and applications running in a virtual machine is
determined at the time that a virtual machine is powered on. This CPU "feature set" is determined based on
the following items:
■Host CPU family and model
■Settings in the BIOS that might disable CPU features
■The ESX/ESXi version running on the host
■The virtual machine's virtual hardware version
■Thevirtual machine's guest operating system
To improve CPU compatibility between hosts of varying CPU feature sets, some host CPU features can be
"hidden" from the virtual machine by placing the host in an Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) cluster.

QUESTION 38
What function does Enhanced vMotion Compatibility provide?
A. The ability to use vMotion to migrate virtual machines between ESXi hosts that have CPUs with
hardware virtualization capabilities and CPUs without this feature.
B. The ability ti use vMotion to migrate virtual machines between ESXi hosts that have CPUs with a
common supported baseline.
C. The ability ti use vMotion to migrate virtual machines between ESXi hosts with intel CPUs and ESXi
hosts with AMD CPUs.
D. The ability ti use vMotion to migrate virtual machines between ESXi hosts with different core counts.
Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&extern
alId=1003212
nhanced VMotion Compatibility (EVC) simplifies VMotion compatibility issues across CPU generations. EVC
automatically configures server CPUs with Intel FlexMigration or AMD V Extended Migration technologies to
be compatible with older servers. After EVC is enabled for a cluster in the VirtualCenter inventory, all hosts
in that cluster are configured to present identical CPU features and ensure CPU compatibility for VMotion.
The features presented by each host are determined by selecting a predefined EVC baseline. VirtualCenter
does not permit the addition of hosts that cannot be automatically configured to be compatible with the EVC
baseline.

QUESTION 44
After upgrading an ESXi host to vSphere 5.x from vSphere 4.x, which three actions must be taken? (Choose
three.)
A. Update any scripts that reference host SCSI devices.
B. Configure ESXi host networking
C. Configure licensing
D. Reconnect managed hosts to vCenter Server
E. Configure the ESXi firewall
Answer: ACD
Section: (none)
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
This can be seen below from the vmware upgrade whitepaper
After you upgrade or migrate a host, take the following actions:
1.View the upgrade logs. You can use the vSphere Client to export the log files.
2.If vCenter Server manages the host, you must reconnect the host to vCenter Server by right clicking
the
host in the vCenter Server inventory and selecting Connect.
3.When the upgrade is complete, ESXi is in evaluation mode. The evaluation mode period is 60 days. You
must reapply your license or assign an upgraded license to your product within 60 days after the
upgrade.
Use the License Portal and the vSphere Client to configure licensing. See
4.On the VMware Web site, log in to your account page to access the license portal. From the license
portal,
upgrade your ESXi license. Use the vSphere Client to assign the upgraded license key to the host.
5. The host sdX devices might be renumbered after the upgrade. If necessary, update any scripts
that
reference sdX devices.
6. After the upgrade, you must convert LUN masking to the claim rule format. Run the esxcli corestorage
claimrule convert command in the vSphere Command Line Interface (vCLI). This command converts
the /adv/Disk/MaskLUNs advanced configuration entry in /etc/vmware/esx.conf to claim rules with
MASK_PATH as the plug in. See the vSphere Command Line Interface Reference.

Perform an Orchestrated Upgrade of Virtual Machines with vSphere Update Manager
An orchestrated upgrade of virtual machines allows you to upgrade VMware Tools and the virtual hardware
for the virtual machines in your vSphere inventory at the same time. You can perform an orchestrated
upgrade of virtual machines at the folder or datacenter level.
Update Manager makes the process of upgrading the virtual machines convenient by providing baseline
groups. When you remediate a virtual machine against a baseline group containing the VMware Tools
Upgrade to Match Host baseline and the VM Hardware Upgrade to Match Host baseline, Update Manager
sequences the upgrade operations in the correct order. As a result, the guest operating system is in a
consistent state at the end of the upgrade.
OLD2:
"Per Scott Lowe, "Mastering vSphere 5.0" book (p.165):
1. You can create a host baseline group that combines a host upgade baseline with a dynamic host
patch baseline to apply the latest updates
2. The VM baseline group upgrades the VMware Tools and then (not at the same time! sscllc) upgrades
the VM hardware to version 8.
C is incorrect there will be downtime
D is incorrect there will be downtime"
"Explanation (OLD1):
Update Manager allows you to perform orchestrated upgrades of the ESX/ESXi hosts in your vSphere
inventory using a single upgrade baseline. vSphere Update Manager upgrades multiple VMware vSphere

iSCSI SAN Configuration Guide ESX 4.0 ESXi 4.0 vCenter Server 4.0, page 9, 13, 16.
Overview of Using ESX/ESXi with a SAN
Using ESX/ESXi with a SAN improves flexibility, efficiency, and reliability. Using ESX/ESXi with a SAN also
supports centralized management and failover and load balancing technologies. The following are benefits
of using ESX/ESXi with a SAN:
You can perform live migration of virtual machines using VMware Vmotion. Therefore this option would
meet requirement (1) VMotion must work in this environment iSCSI SANs use Ethernet connections
between computer systems, or host servers, and high performance storage subsystems. The SAN
components include host bus adapters (HBAs) or Network Interface Cards (NICs) in the host servers,
switches and routers that transport the storage traffic, cables, storage processors (SPs), and storage disk
systems Therefore this option would meet requirement (2) the existing LAN infrastructure must be used Use
the vSphere Client to set up a VMFS datastore in advance on any SCSI based storage device that your
ESX/ESXi host discovers. A VMFS datastore can be extended over several physical storage extents,
including SAN LUNs and local storage. This feature allows you to pool storage and gives you flexibility in
creating the storage volume necessary for your virtual machine. Therefore this option would meet
requirement (3) the storage must support VMFS volumes

7DE71A2A 065B 4B44 B97C BAAAA7E6CCF9.html
If the virtual machine memory is greater than the host memory size, swapping occurs, which can have a
severe effect on virtual machine performance. The memory size must be a multiple of 4MB. The maximum
for best performance represents the threshold above which the host’s physical memory is
insufficient to run the virtual machine at full speed . This value fluctuates as conditions on the host
change, for example, as virtual machines are powered on or off.
"Explanation:
The virtual machine settings editor also shows a value for the maximum amount of memory for best
performance. If you have only one virtual machine running on the host and you set virtual machine memory
to this value, the virtual machine can run entirely in RAM. A virtual machine running completely in RAM
performs better than a virtual machine that must swap some of its memory to disk."

D. ESXi hosts automatically detect new LUNs as they are presented.
Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?
language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1003988
A rescan of storage devices is needed when a storage device has been added, removed, or
changed from the array.
Note: This performs a rescan of every installed Hardware Bus Adapter (HBA), regardless of the HBA that is
selected in the Storage Adapters view.
The progress of the rescan can be monitored from the ESX/ESXi host console in the /var/log/vmkernel (for
ESX hosts) or /var/log/messages (for ESXi) logfiles.
Note: The Rescan in the VI Client, by default, combines the rescan for new LUNs (and removal of retired
ones) with the detection of new VMFS data stores, depending on which check boxes are selected when the
rescan is initiated. The rescan and datastore detection are asynchronous processes. As a result, the
detection process for new data stores may complete before the detection process for new LUNs is
complete. You may need to perform the rescan twice if the newly added LUN has a VMFS data store
on it, or perform an HBA rescan and VMFS rescan in separate tasks. You may select either or both
of the two to be performed, per a modal dialog box when initially beginning a rescan.
NOTE: A reboot WILL present those LUNS as it does rescan so be aware it could be two answers
HOWEVER, the answer VMware would look for is a rescan....

Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
http://www.vreference.com/wp content/uploads/vsphere5 notes1.0.1.pdf
Dynamic Discovery — Also known as SendTargets discovery. Each time the initiator contacts a specified
iSCSI server, the initiator
sends the SendTargets request to the server. The server responds by supplying a list of available targets to
the initiator. The names
and IP addresses of these targets appear on the Static Discovery tab. If you remove a static target added by
dynamic discovery, the
target might be returned to the list the next time a rescan happens, the HBA is reset, or the host is rebooted.
Static Discovery — The initiator does not have to perform any discovery. The initiator has a list of targets it
can contact and uses
their IP addresses and target names to communicate with them.

successfully powered on, but a newly deployed virtual machine will not power on. There appears to be
adequate CPU and Memory resources available on the host. Which three things can be done to allow more
virtual machines to be deployed into the cluster from this template? (Choose three.)
A. Deploy the virtual machine to a different host using the same datastore
B. Enable DRS on the cluster to balance the virtual load out across hosts

Explanation
Original Answer:BDE Correct Answer: CDE (I had this question on VCP Mock and scored 100%). There is
not enough space on datastore to power on the VMs, all these 3 answers resolve this issue. By increasing
the VM memory reservation, the swap file will be smaller. See the VMware KBhttp://kb.vmware.com/
selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&ext ernalId=1003755
Quote from KB:
If you make reservations for your virtual machine's that are equal to the amount of RAM assigned to them,
swapping and page sharing does not occur. You can over commit pretty heavily if you are comfortable with
poorer performance. If you do not set reservations, ESX host creates a .vswp file equal to the difference
between the amount of physical memory assigned to the virtual machine and the reservation it has. By
default, memory reservations are set to 0. If you have a virtual machine with 2GB of memory without a
reservation, it creates a 2GB .vswp file when it is powered on. The virtual machine starts using the .vswp file
if the server is out of physical RAM. If you set a 1GB reservation, it creates a 1GB .vswp file. The .vswp files
are what allows for memory overcommitment.

Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
http://www.vreference.com/wp content/uploads/vsphere5 notes1.0.1.pdf
Dynamic Discovery — Also known as SendTargets discovery. Each time the initiator contacts a specified
iSCSI server, the initiator
sends the SendTargets request to the server. The server responds by supplying a list of available targets to
the initiator. The names
and IP addresses of these targets appear on the Static Discovery tab. If you remove a static target added by
dynamic discovery, the
target might be returned to the list the next time a rescan happens, the HBA is reset, or the host is rebooted.
Static Discovery — The initiator does not have to perform any discovery. The initiator has a list of targets it
can contact and uses
their IP addresses and target names to communicate with them.

B. Mask the NX/XD bit on every virtual machine in the cluster
C. Enable Enhanced VMotion Compatibility
D. Enable Rapid Virtualization Indexing
Answer: BC
Section: (none)
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Since we do not have the option to disable it on the host you would hide it on the VM's just as the following
states:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?
language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1993#modnxxd
Modifying the default NX/XD mask
Issues with the NX/XD features on CPUs are common. Ensure that the feature is either enabled (or
disabled) in the BIOS of all hosts to avoid these compatibility error messages.
Note: Not all servers have the option to disable or enable NX or XD in the BIOS.
If a CPU feature compatibility issue with the NX/XD bit is encountered, an error similar to this is generated:
The CPU of the host is incompatible with the cpu feature requirements of virtual machine; problem detected
at CPUID level 0x80000001 register 'edx'.
Power off the virtual machine before modifying the NX/XD mask.
To modify the mask to enable or disable the NX/XD CPU bit:
Navigate to the CPUID Mask option on the virtual machine Options tab (see steps above, if necessary).
Select Hide the NX flag from guest to disable the CPUcompatibility check for the selected virtual machine,or
Expose the NX flag to guest to enable this CPU compatibility check for the selected virtual machine.
Click OK to save the change.

NOTE: Question is asking about MUST installation requirements not best practices so Answer A wouldnt be
correct and vCenter DOESN'T have to be on a domain.
See: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/documentLinkInt.do?
micrositeID=&popup=true&languageId=&externalID=2003790
At the bottom:
Verify that the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the system where you are installing vCenter Server
is resolvable. To check that the FQDN is resolvable, type nslookup <vCenter_Server_fqdn> at a command
line prompt. If the FQDN is resolvable, the nslookup command returns the IP and name of the domain
controller machine.
Verify that no Network Address Translation (NAT) exists between the vCenter Server system and the hosts
it will manage.
Make sure the system on which you are installing vCenter Server is not an Active Directory domain
controller. Installing vCenter Server on a domain controller is not supported.
