Answer: C

o The vSphere Client validates an OVF file before importing it.
o A vApp is a container, like a resource pool and can contain one or more VMs. A vApp can power on and power off, and can also be cloned.
o The vApp metadata resides in 220 701 the vCenter Server’s database
o You can add an object, such as a VM or another vApp, to an existing vApp.
o An IP pool is a network configuration that is assigned to a network used by a vApp. The vApp can then leverage vCenter Server to
automatically provide an IP configuration to its VMs.
o Each application within the service will be powered on according to how the startup order is set. When powering on a vApp within a DRS
cluster in manual mode, no DRS recommendations are generated for VM placements. The power on operation performs as if DRS is run in a
semi-automatic or automatic mode for the initial placements of the VMs. This does not affect VMotion recommendations. Recommendations
for individual powering on and powering off of VMs are also generated for vApps that are running
o A VM’s name can be up to 80 characters long. Names are case insensitive.
o Virtual machine version 4 — Compatible with ESX 3.0 and greater hosts and VMware Server 1.0 and greater hosts.
o Virtual machine version 7 — Compatible with ESX 4.0 and greater hosts. Provides greater VM functionality.
o Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) adapters are high-performance storage adapters that can result in greater throughput and lower CPU utilization.
o Best suited for high performance storage environments.
o Not suited for DAS environments. VMware recommends that you create a primary adapter (LSI Logic by default) for use with a disk that
will host the system software (boot disk) and a separate PVSCSI adapter for the disk that will store user data, such as a database.
o Paravirtual SCSI adapters are available for VMs running hardware version 7 and greater. They are supported on the following guest operating
systems:
o Windows Server 2008
o Windows Server 2003
o Red Hat Linux (RHEL) 5
o Features 220 702 not supported with Paravirtual SCSI adapters:
o Boot disks
o Record/Replay
o Fault Tolerance
o MSCS Clustering
o SCSI controller types:
o BusLogic Parallel
o LSI Logic SAS
o LSI Logic Parallel
o VMware Paravirtual
o Thin Provisioned Format – Use this format to save storage space. If a virtual disk supports clustering solutions such as Fault Tolerance, you
cannot make the disk thin. You can manually convert the thin disk into thick.
o Thick Format – This is the default virtual disk format. It is not possible to convert the thick disk into thin. (EDIT: you can via Storage VMotion)
o Automatic VMware Tools upgrade is not supported for VMs with Solaris or Netware guest operating systems.
o If you are using a WYSE thin client device to conduct remote desktop sessions using VMware VDI, installing WYSE Multimedia Support in the
guest operating system improves the performance of streaming video. WYSE Multimedia Support is supported on the Windows 2003 and
Windows XP guest operating systems only. WYSE Multimedia Support is installed as part of a VMware Tools installation or upgrade.
o Virtual machines with hardware versions lower than 4 can run on ESX4 hosts but have reduced performance and capabilities. In particular, you
cannot add or remove virtual devices on VMs with hardware versions lower than 4 when they reside on an ESX4 host.
o Virtual Machine Hardware Versions:
Host Version 7 Version 4 Version 3 Compatible with vCenter Server version
ESX/ESXi 4.x create, edit, run create, edit, run run vCenter Server 4.x
ESX Server 3.x – create, edit, run run VirtualCenter Server 2.x and higher
ESX Server 2.x – – create, edit, run VirtualCenter Server 1.x and higher
o SCSI Bus Sharing list:
Option Description
None Virtual disks 220 701 cannot be shared by other VMs.
Virtual Virtual disks can be shared by VMs on same server.
Physical Virtual disks can be shared by VMs on any server.
o Memory/CPU Hotplug – VMware Tools must be installed for hotplug functionality to work properly.
o VMI – A paravirtualization standard that enables improved performance for VMs capable of utilizing it.
o Enabling paravirtualization utilizes one of the VM’s six virtual PCI slots
o A VM with paravirtualization enabled and that is powered off can be moved manually to a host that does not support paravirtualization.
However, this can result in reduced performance.
o N-port ID virtualization (NPIV) – Provides the ability to share a single physical Fibre Channel HBA port among multiple virtual ports, each with
unique identifiers. This allows control over VMaccess to LUNs on a per-VMbasis.

o Performance charts
o WebAccess
o vCenter Storage Monitoring/Storage Views tab
o vCenter Service Status
o When a server is connected Passed VCP410 to other vCenter Server systems using Linked Mode, you can connect to that vCenter Server system and view and
manage the inventories of all the vCenter Server systems that are linked.
o Linked Mode uses Microsoft Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) to store and synchronize data.
o The following requirements apply to each vCenter Server system that is a member of a Linked Mode group:
o DNS must be operational.
o Can be in different domains if the domains have a two-way trust relationship.
o When adding a vCenter instance to a Linked Mode group, the installer must be run by a domain user who is an administrator on both the
machines.
o Must have network time synchronization. The installer validates that the machine clocks are not more than 5 minutes apart.
o The roles defined on each vCenter Server system in a linked mode group are replicated to the other systems in the group.
o Troubleshooting:
o Conflicts can occur, when you clone a vCenter Server instance that is running in a VM and you do not use sysprep or a similar utility to
ensure that the cloned vCenter Server instance has a globally unique identifier (GUID).
o The DNS name of the machine must match with the actual machine name.
o Joining a Linked Mode group:
1. Verify that the vCenter Server domain name matches the machine name.
2. Update the URLs to make them compatible with the new domain name and machine name (if required).
3. Join the vCenter Server system to a Linked Mode group.
o When you are logged in to a vCenter Server system that is part of a connected group, you can monitor the health of services running on each
server in the group.
o Client uses ports 80 and 443 to communicate with vCenter Server and ESX/ESXi hosts. These ports cannot be changed.
o The SNMP traps sent by vCenter Server are defined in VMWARE-VC-EVENT-MIB.mib
o ESX/ESXi includes an SNMP agent Passed VCP 4 embedded in hostd that can both send traps and receive polling requests such as GET requests. This agent is
referred to as the embedded SNMP agent. Versions of ESX prior to ESX 4.0 included a Net-SNMP-based agent. You can continue to use this
Net-SNMPbased agent in ESX 4.0 with MIBs supplied by your hardware vendor and other third-party management applications. However, to
use the VMware MIB files, you must use the embedded SNMP agent. By default, the embedded SNMP agent is disabled. To enable it, use the
vSphere CLI command vicfg-snmp.
o Both the embedded SNMP agent and the Net-SNMP-based agent available in the ESX service console listen on UDP port 161 by default. If you
enable both of these agents for polling on an ESX host, you must change the port used by at least one of them.
o Can use SNMP to monitor guest operating systems or applications running in VMs. Do not install agents in the VM that are intended to
monitor physical hardware.
o VMware MIB Files
MIB File Description
VMWARE-ROOT-MIB.mib Contains VMware’s enterprise OID and top level OID assignments.
VMWARE-AGENTCAP-MIB.mib Defines the capabilities of the VMware agents by product versions.
VMWARE-ENV-MIB.mib Defines variables and trap types used to report on the state of physical hardware components of
the host computer.
VMWARE-OBSOLETE-MIB.mib Defines OIDs that have been made obsolete to maintain backward compatibility with earlier
versions of ESX/ESXi. Includes variables vcp 410 formerly defined in the files VMWARE-TRAPS-MIB.mib
and VMWARE-VMKERNEL-MIB.mib.
VMWARE-PRODUCTS-MIB.mib Defines OIDs to uniquely identify each SNMP agent on each VMware platform by name, version,
and build platform.
VMWARE-RESOURCES-MIB.mib Defines variables used to report information on resource usage of the VMkernel, including
physical memory, CPU, and disk utilization.
VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB.mib The VMWARE-SYSTEM-MIB.mib file is obsolete. Use the SNMPv2-MIB to obtain information
from sysDescr.0 and sysObjec ID.0.
VMWARE-TC-MIB.mib Defines common textual conventions used by VMware MIB files.
VMWARE-VC-EVENTS-MIB.mib Defines traps sent by vCenter Server. Load this file if you use vCenter Server to send traps.
VMWARE-VMINFO-MIB.mib Defines variables for reporting information about VMs, including VM traps.

o After you upgrade all of your hosts to ESX4/ESXi4, you can optionally uninstall your license server and remove the license server configuration
from vCenter Server.
o For ESXi, the vSphere Host Update Utility does not support roll back.
o You can remove the ESX 4.0 VCP-410 exam boot option from the ESX bootloader menu and perform a complete roll back to ESX 3.x. Any changes made to
the ESX 4.0 service console are lost after the rollback.
o Any changes made to VMs will persist after the rollback.
o If you upgraded the VM hardware, the VMs will not work after you perform the ESX rollback. To avoid this situation, take a snapshot of
the VM before you upgrade the VM hardware.
o Run the rollback-to-esx3 command – reconfigures the bootloader.
o Reboot the server.
o After the host boots into ESX 3.x, delete the ESX 4.0 service console VMDK folder from the VMFS datastore.
o Each time you update an ESXi host, a copy of the ESXi build is saved on your host.
o ESXi permits only one level of rollback.
o When you manually boot into the standby build instead of the current boot build, an irreversible rollback occurs.
o When the page that displays the current boot build appears, press Shift+r to select the standby build.
o Do not use vmware-vmupgrade.exe to upgrade VMs.
o Some VMs that you create on ESX4 hosts are supported on ESX 3.x/ESXi 3.5 hosts. If you create a VM on ESX4 and select the typical path, the
virtual hardware version is version 7. Virtual machines with virtual hardware version 7 are not supported on ESX 3.x/ESXi 3.5 hosts. Select the
custom path and select virtual hardware version 4
o If you create VMs that use paravirtualization (VMI) or an enhanced networking device (vmxnet), VMotion is not supported. In this case, you
can only move the VM to the ESX 3.x host if the VM is powered off.
o On Windows guest operating systems, VCP-410 exam questions you must reboot the VM a total of three times when you upgrade VMware Tools and the virtual
hardware:
1. Power on the VM.
2. Upgrade VMware Tools.
3. Reboot the VM at the end of the VMware Tools upgrade.
4. Power off the VM.
5. Upgrade the virtual Hardware.
6. Power on the VM.
7. The Windows operating system detects new devices and prompts you to reboot the VM.
8. Reboot the VM to make the devices work properly.
o During the virtual hardware upgrade, the VM must be shut down for all guest operating systems.
o When you upgrade from virtual hardware version 3 to version 7, the upgrade is irreversible, even if you take a VM backup or snapshot before
performing the upgrade. 4 to version 7 the upgrade is reversible if you take a VM backup or snapshot
o Tools for installing updates and patches to ESX/ESXi hosts:
o Host Update Utility – graphical utility for ESXi only.
o Update Manager – for ESX and ESXi,
o vihostupdate – command-line utility for ESX and ESXi.

o Back up the VirtualCenter 2.x SSL certificates. %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter or
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\.
o Note any non-default settings, such as the IP address, the database DSN, user name, password, and assigned ports.
o Create a backup copy of vpxd.cfg.
o The database upgrade log is at VCP-410 exam questions %TEMP%\VCDatabaseUpgrade.log.
o By default, a vCenter Server creates a maximum of 10 simultaneous database connections.
o Datastores and networks have their own set of privileges that control access to them.
o Users are initially granted the No Access role on all new managed objects, including datastores and networks. All existing objects in vCenter
maintain their permissions after the upgrade.
o The upgrade process uses the datacenter’s “Read-only” privilege.
o If the “Read-only” privilege is nonpropagating (not inherited by child objects), VMware assumes access privileges should not be assigned
to datastores and networks.
o If the “Read-only” privilege is propagating (inherited by child objects), VMware assumes access privileges should be assigned to
datastores and networks so users can view them and perform basic operations that require access.
o The “Read-only” propagating permission on a datacenter, as well as all other permissions you have set, will continue to work as expected after
the upgrade.
o You must change “Read-only” nonpropagating datastore permissions to propagating datastore permissions in order for users to access the
datastore. You can assign datastore permissions on datastore or folders containing datastore. The same goes for Network permissions.
o The “Database Consumer” sample role assigns the “Allocate Space” privilege to the datastore. “Network Consumer” sample role assigns the
“Assign Network” privilege.
o Host Update Utility does not upgrade VMFS datastores or VM
o Update Manager supports mass remediation.
o During host upgrades using the Update Manager, static IP addresses are a requirement.
o The upgrade to ESXi4 & ESX4 preserves almost all configuration data, including your networking, security, and storage configuration. The only
configuration not preserved is related to licensing.
o For ESX only, the upgrade reuses VCP-410 study guide the existing /boot partition to hold the ESX 4.0 boot files. After the upgrade, the ESX 3.x installation is
mounted in the new ESX 4.0 installation under the /esx3-installation directory.
o Backup the ESX Host Configuration:
o Back up the files in the /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, /etc/shadow, and /etc/gshadow directories.
o Back up any custom scripts.
o Back up your .vmx files.
o Back up local images, such as templates, exported VMs, and .iso files.
o Backup the ESXi Host Configuration: vicfg-cfgbackup –server –portnumber –

o You cannot perform an in-place upgrade from ESX to ESXi (or from ESXi to ESX).
o The only ESX 2.x version that has upgrade support is ESX 2.5.5 – you can perform a migration upgrade with or without VMotion.
o Direct, in-place upgrade from ESX 2.5.5 to ESX 4.0 is not supported, even if you upgrade to ESX 3.x as an intermediary step. The default ESX
2.5.5 installation creates a /boot partition that is too small to enable upgrades to ESX 4.0. As an exception, if you have a non-default ESX 2.5.5
installation on which at least 100MB of space is available on the /boot partition, you can upgrade ESX 2.5.5 to ESX 3.x and then to ESX 4.0.
o The upgrade logs are here:
o /esx3-installation/esx4-upgrade/
o /var/log/vmware/
o For an unsuccessful ESX upgrade:
o /esx4-upgrade/
o /var/log/vmware/
o You may need to reconnect the host to vCenter Server and assign an upgraded license to your product within 60 days after the upgrade.
o The host sdX devices might be renumbered after the upgrade.
o You must convert LUN masking to the claim rule format. Run the esxcli corestorage claimrule convert command. It converts
the /adv/Disk/MaskLUNs advanced configuration entry in esx.conf to claim rules with MASK_PATH as the plug-in.
o Web Access service is disabled after you upgrade the host.
o vSphere Web Access is not supported on ESXi hosts.
o 60-day evaluation count VCP-410 questions down starts even if the host is licensed and you are not using evaluation mode.
o One advantage of using evaluation mode is that it offers full feature functionality.
o After you determine that the ESX 4.0 upgrade is stable, you can remove the ESX 3.x boot option from the ESX 4.0 bootloader menu to disable
the ability to roll back to ESX 3.x. If you deselected the rollback option, this procedure is not applicable. Run the cleanup-esx3 command
with the optional -f (force) flag.
o The cleanup-esx3 script removes the following files and references from the ESX 4.0 host:
o ESX 3.x references in the /etc/fstab directory
o ESX 3.x boot files in the /boot directory
o The rollback-to-esx3 script in the /usr/sbin/ directory
