After installation of a host in your test environment, you need to move it to production. The only major change that needs to be made is that the hostname of the server needs to change. What are two ways that an administrator can change the host name without editing configuration files on the host directly? (Choose two.)

Login to the Direct Console User Interface and change it from here.
Edit the Default TCP/IP Configuration from the vSphere Web Client.
Use the Ruby vSphere Client to send a script to the ESXi host that updates the hostname.
Update the information in DNS and the ESXi host will automatically update with these changes.

Correct answer: AB

Explanation:

To change the host name without editing configuration files on the host, first, login to the direct console user interface and change the host name. Now edit the default TCP/IP configuration from the vSphere client. Reference: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/index.jsp

You are editing the management network configuration of an ESXi 6.x Host from the vSphere Web Client. You mistakenly put the incorrect VLAN in place for the management network.

What action do you need to take to correct this?

You need to manually edit the configuration on the host with command line utilities.
No action is required. By default ESXi rolls back configuration changes that disconnect the host.
The ESXi host system configuration will need to be restored to the factory configuration to fix the issue.
The change can be reverted in the vSphere Web Client by simply editing the switch again.

Correct answer: B

Explanation:

Host networking rollbacks occur when an invalid change is made to the host networking configuration. Every network change that disconnects a host also triggers a rollback. Reference: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2032908

You have just installed an ESXi 6.x Host. As part of your company security regulations, a security banner must be presented on the console of the host.

How can this action be accomplished?

Configure the Advanced Settings > Annotations screen of the ESXi host.
This is configured from the Direct Console User Interface configuration menu.
It is not possible to configure a security banner for the ESXi host.
From vCenter Server, this setting is configured globally in the vCenter Server configuration.

Correct answer: A

Explanation:

For security banner, configure Advanced settings and go to Annotations screen of the ESXi host. Reference: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2046347

In order for a company to meet regulatory requirements, all ESXi 6.x Hosts must be configured to direct logs to a syslog server.

What are two ways ESXi hosts can configured for this action? (Choose two)

Use the esxcli system syslog command.
Edit them in the ESXi host Advanced System Settings.
From the Syslog collector user interface of the Web Client.
Syslog logging is not available for ESXi Hosts.

Correct answer: AB

Explanation:

To direct logs to a syslog server, uses esxcli system syslog command and edit them in the ESXi host advanced system settings. Reference: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2003322

An administrator is performing an interactive installation of ESXi 6.x.

Which three options are available for installation? (Choose three.)

DVD
USB
PXE
Scripted
Auto Deploy

Correct answer: ABC

Explanation:

You can install ESXi 6.x using DVD drive, USB flash drive or PXE. Reference: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2109708

An administrator is performing a scripted installation of ESXi 6.x.

In which three locations does the script need to be? (Choose three.)

PXE Server
HTTPS
FTP
NFS
VVOLs Datastore

Correct answer: BCD

Explanation:

The script must be created using supported commands. Ensure you consider all disks that are connected to the host at the time of installation to avoid inadvertently overwriting data. Disk names can vary from machine to machine, one of the settings that you may want to configure and double check in a script is the disk selection for the ESXi installation. The host installation script must be stored in a location that the host can access by FTP. HTTP, HTTPS, NFS, USB flash drive, or CD-ROM drive. The installation media can be mounted on the host locally, remotely, or through PXE boot.

Which three items should be validated prior to installing ESXi 6.x? (Choose three.)

Remote Storage has been disconnected.
Installation media is available.
Server hardware clock is set to UTC.
Storage has been partitioned with a VMFS volume.
Network cards have been setup to use Jumbo Frames.

Correct answer: ABC

Explanation:

How is the network initially configured?

The network is configured by Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA).
The network is configured based on the settings detected in DNS.
The network is configured with the address as specified in the installer.
The network is automatically configured by DHCP.

Correct answer: D
