NEW QUESTION # 37
An administrator is tasked with providing users access to objects within an existing VMware vCenter instance.
The vCenter inventory has a single data center with one management vSphere cluster and five workload vSphere clusters.
The following requirements must be met for assigning the users access:
* Users must only be able to view all of the inventory objects associated with the management vSphere cluster.
* Users must be able to edit all of the inventory objects associated with the workload vSphere clusters.
The administrator creates a custom role to provide the permissions needed to allow users to edit inventory objects.
Which series of steps should the administrator complete to assign the custom role and provide the required level of access to users?

• A. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object.
  Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters and enable propagation.
• B. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object and enable propagation. Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters and enable propagation.
• C. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object and enable propagation. Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters.
• D. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object. Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Explanation
Option D is correct because it allows the administrator to apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object and enable propagation, which will apply to all of the inventory objects in vCenter, and then apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters, which will override the Global permissions and allow users to edit all of the inventory objects associated with the workload vSphere clusters. Option A is incorrect because it will not enable propagation for the Global permissions, which will limit the Read Only role to the root vCenter object only. Option B is incorrect because it will enable propagation for both the Global and vCenter permissions, which will create a conflict between the Read Only and custom roles. Option C is incorrect because it will not enable propagation for either the Global or vCenter permissions, which will limit the Read Only role to the root vCenter object only and the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters only.

NEW QUESTION # 38
A VMkernel port is labelled PROD01 and uses the default TCP/IP stack. Currently, this VMkernel port is configured for supporting live virtual machine (VM) migrations.
Which configuration change should the administrator make to isolate live VM migration traffic from other network traffic?

• A. Create a new VMkernel port and set the TCP/IP stack to provisioning.
• B. Remove PROD01 and create a new VMkernel port with the TCP/IP stack set to provisioning.
• C. Modify PROD01 by changing the TCP/IP stack to vSphere vMotion.
• D. Remove PROD01 and create a new VMkernel port and set the TCP/IP stack to vSphere vMotion.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Select a TCP/IP stack from the list. Once you set a TCP/IP stack for the VMkernel adapter, you cannot change it later. If you select the vMotion or the Provisioning TCP/IP stack, you will be able to use only these stacks to handle vMotion or Provisioning traffic on the host. All VMkernel adapters for vMotion on the default TCP/IP stack are disabled for future vMotion sessions. If you set the Provisioning TCP/IP stack, VMkernel adapters on the default TCP/IP stack are disabled for operations that include Provisioning traffic, such as virtual machine cold migration, cloning, and snapshot migration.

An administrator notices a Fibre Channel adapter in an ESXi host has been experiencing inconsistent connectivity states.
Which trigger can be used to quickly identify the issue and alert the administrator so that the issue can be resolved?

• A. Lost Network Path Redundancy
• B. Host Connection Lost
• C. Lost Storage Connectivity
• D. Lost Network Connectivity

Answer: C

Explanation:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2014553
Book course: 6-23 Fibre Channel SAN Components Using SAN switches, you can set up path redundancy to address any path failures from host server to switch, or from storage array to switch. 6-25 Multipathing with Fibre Channel By default, ESXi hosts use only one path from a host to a given LUN at any one time. If the path actively being used by the ESXi host fails, the server selects another available path.
The trigger that can be used to quickly identify the issue and alert the administrator so that the issue can be resolved is:
Lost Storage Connectivity
This alert is triggered when an ESXi host loses connectivity to storage devices. In this case, it would alert the administrator to the inconsistent connectivity states of the Fibre Channel adapter12.
