List of questions
Question 11

A VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) administrator wants to download the install bundles to deploy a new VI Workload Domain. The SDDC Manager is currently not connected to the internet.
Which two methods can the VCF administrator use to download the install bundles? (Choose two.)
Use the Bundle Transfer Utility
Use a proxy in the SDDC Manager
Use a custom ESXi image
Use the Async Patch tool
Use a proxy in the Aria Suite Lifecycle
When the SDDC Manager in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is not connected to the internet, administrators have two main options to download install bundles:
1. Using the Bundle Transfer Utility: This utility allows administrators to download bundles on an internet-connected machine and then transfer them to the isolated VCF environment. It's specifically designed for environments without direct internet access.
2. Using a Proxy in the SDDC Manager: Configuring a proxy in SDDC Manager enables indirect access to download bundles through a controlled connection, such as a secure proxy server, if internet access is permitted only through proxy settings.
Question 12

An administrator wants to implement password rotation as a security measure in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF).
Which statement regarding password rotation in VCF is true?
The parameters of password rotation can be manually changed to customize the generated passwords.
To retrieve passwords for an entity in VCF, run the lookup passwords command, but user credentials do not need to be entered.
Scheduled password rotation is available for ESXi Hosts, and it runs every 30 days by default.
Password rotation generates randomized passwords with a minimum length of 20 characters, at least one uppercase letter, one number, and one special character.
In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), password rotation generates new, randomized passwords that meet specific complexity requirements, including a minimum length of 20 characters with at least one uppercase letter, one number, and one special character. This approach helps enhance security by ensuring that passwords are strong and regularly updated.
Question 13

An administrator wants to deploy a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) VI Workload Domain (WLD). The WLD will use a vSAN stretched cluster across availability zones.
What configuration step meets the requirements?
Create a single host overlay network per availability zone with a DHCP scope
Create a single host overlay network per availability zone with an IP Pool
Create a site for the vSAN Witness by placing a single node ESXi host in the VI WLD
Create a site for the vSAN Witness by placing a single node ESXi host in the management WLD
For a vSAN stretched cluster deployment across availability zones in VMware Cloud Foundation, a vSAN Witness is required to maintain data consistency and quorum between the two sites. This witness node is typically deployed as a single ESXi host in the Management Workload Domain (WLD), separate from the active VI Workload Domain. This configuration provides fault tolerance and ensures that the witness is isolated from the main workload domain, enhancing stability and recovery in case of a failure in one of the availability zones.
Other options are incorrect because they involve configurations that do not meet the specific requirements for a stretched vSAN cluster setup with a dedicated vSAN Witness in a secure, isolated location.
Question 14

Which two are true regarding vSphere Namespaces in a Workload Management-enabled VI Workload Domain? (Choose two.)
A vSpJiere Namespace can support Role Based Access Control for a directly integrated Active Directory.
A vSphere Namespace is an extension of a vSphere resource pool.
A vSphere Namespace is a resource boundary that can only contain Kubernetes clusters.
A vSphere Namespace's primary function is to run workloads.
A vSphere Namespace requires its own license.
vSphere Namespaces in a Workload Management-enabled environment can integrate with Active Directory to provide Role Based Access Control (RBAC). This feature allows administrators to set permissions based on Active Directory roles for better access management.
vSphere Namespace is essentially an extension of a vSphere resource pool. It provides a logical boundary within which resources (such as CPU, memory, and storage) can be allocated to workloads and Kubernetes clusters, facilitating efficient resource management within the workload domain.
Question 15

An administrator is experiencing issues with NTP during a pre-check before performing an upgrade of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). As a precaution the administrator would like to check if NTP is synchronized properly between the SDDC Manager and the ESXi hosts by using the SoS utility.
Which command option should the administrator use?
--esxi-ntp-health
--ntp-health
--get-ntp-health
--check-ntp-health
In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), the SoS utility provides a variety of command options to check the health of system components. To verify NTP synchronization status between the SDDC Manager and ESXi hosts, the administrator should use the --ntp-health command option. This command provides details on NTP configuration and synchronization status, which is essential for maintaining time consistency across the VCF environment, especially before an upgrade.
Question 16

In which order does a VI Workload Domain with Workload Management enabled need to be upgraded?
1. NSX 2. vCenter Server 3. Workload Management 4. ESXi
1. ESXi 2. NSX 3. vCenter Server 4. Workload Management
1. Workload Management 2. vCenter Server 3. ESXi 4. NSX
1. NSX 2. vCenter Server 3. ESXi 4. Workload Management
When upgrading a VI Workload Domain with Workload Management enabled in VMware Cloud Foundation, the correct sequence is essential to maintain compatibility and stability. The upgrade process should start with NSX, as it provides the foundational networking services required for both vCenter and workload management components. vCenter Server is upgraded next, followed by ESXi hosts to ensure compatibility with the updated vCenter version. Finally, Workload Management is upgraded last, as it relies on the updated versions of NSX, vCenter Server, and ESXi to function correctly.
Question 17

How would an administrator remove an unused certificate from SDDC Manager?
Use the SDDC Manager User Interface
Unused certificates are automatically removed
Use the SDDC Manager command line
Revoke the unused certificates from the certificate authority
To remove an unused certificate from SDDC Manager in VMware Cloud Foundation, the administrator needs to use the SDDC Manager command line. The SDDC Manager UI does not provide an option to manually remove certificates, and unused certificates are not automatically removed. Additionally, revoking the certificate from the certificate authority (CA) does not remove it from SDDC Manager, as the certificate would still remain in the system until it's manually deleted via the command line.
Question 18

An administrator has been tasked with increasing the available capacity within an existing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment to support the deployment of production workloads. The VCF environment consists of a single VI Workload Domain (which is using vSphere Lifecycle Manager images as the update method) with only a single vSAN Cluster called Prod-01. Two new hosts have been added to SDDC Manager inventory for the capacity expansion. The new hosts have identically configured CPU and RAM to the hosts in Prod-01. VMFS on FC is the required principal storage option.
Which process must the administrator complete to increase the available capacity without the need for additional management components?
Create a new network pool in the existing Workload Domain to support vSAN
Create a newvSphere Cluster within a new workload domain
Create a newvSphere Cluster within the existing VI Workload Domain
Expand the existing Prod-01 cluster by adding the additional hosts
Since the goal is to increase capacity in the existing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment without adding new management components, the most straightforward approach is to expand the existing Prod-01 cluster by adding the additional hosts. This approach will incorporate the new hosts into the existing VI Workload Domain and vSAN cluster without needing to create new clusters or workload domains.
Question 19

An administrator has discovered that not all DNS PTR records are created and would like to perform a health check with the SoS utility if this is the case for more components.
Which command option should the administrator use?
--get-dns-health
--dns-health
--get-dns-forward-reverse-health
--dns-forward-reverse-health
The --dns-forward-reverse-health command option in the SoS utility checks both forward and reverse DNS resolution, including PTR records. This command provides a comprehensive check of DNS health by verifying that both forward (A records) and reverse (PTR records) lookups are correctly configured for the components in the VMware Cloud Foundation environment. This is essential for ensuring proper connectivity and functionality across VCF components.
Question 20

A vSphere administrator is tasked with deploying VMware Aria Operations for Logs in the company's VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment.
Which two are valid Application Virtual Network (AVN) options for Aria Operations for Logs? (Choose two.)
Region-A - Overlay backed segment
Region-A - VLAN backed segment
X-Region - VLAN backed segment
X-Region - Overlay backed segment
A vSphere distributed Port Group in the Management Domain
In a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, Application Virtual Networks (AVNs) are typically implemented using overlay-backed segments for connectivity within and across regions. These overlay-backed segments are specifically designed for services like VMware Aria Operations for Logs to ensure secure and scalable network isolation.
Region-A - Overlay backed segment is valid because an overlay-backed segment in a specific region (e.g., Region-A) can be used to deploy Aria Operations for Logs.
X-Region - Overlay backed segment is also valid, as an X-Region overlay-backed segment enables cross-region connectivity, which is beneficial for services that require multi-region access.
VLAN-backed segments and vSphere distributed Port Groups are not typically used for AVNs in VCF, as they do not provide the same level of network isolation and flexibility as overlay-backed segments.
