An administrator is tasked with adding new capacity to an existing software-defined data center (SDDC).
• The SDDC currently hosts two vSphere clusters (ClusterA and ClusterB) with different CPU compatibilities.
• vSphere vMotion and vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) are currently in use in the SDDC.
• The new capacity will be implemented by provisioning four ESXi hosts running a new generation of Intel Skylake CPUs.
• All workload virtual machines (VMs) must support live migration to any cluster in the SDDC.

Which three steps must the administrator take to support this functionality? (Choose three.)
An administrator is responsible for the management of a VMware vCenter instance that is currently experiencing performance issues. The administrator quickly identifies that the CPU and memory utilization of vCenter is consistently over 80%.

An administrator is asked to configure a security policy at the port group level of a standard switch.
The following requirements must be met:
• The security policy must apply to all virtual machines on portgroup-1.
• All traffic must be forwarded, regardless of the destination.
An administrator is tasked with allowing a single user the ability to take snapshots on a virtual machine. When looking in vCenter, the administrator can see that there are already users and groups assigned permissions on the virtual machine as follows:
•The group VMJJsers has the Virtual Machine Power User role.
•The group VM_Viewers has the Read Only role.
The administrator confirms that the user requesting the additional access is currently one of five members of the VM_Viewers group
Which two steps should the administrator take to grant this user the additional access required without impacting the user access of others? (Choose two.)
An administrator is adding a new ESXi host to an existing vSphere cluster. When selecting the cluster, the administrator Is unable to use the Cluster Quickstart workflow to add and configure the additional host.
What could be the root cause of this issue?
A vSphere cluster hosts a three-tier application. The cluster has 50% resources available. If a host in the cluster fails, the database server must be online before the application server, and the application server must be online before the Web server.
Which feature can be used to meet these requirements?
An administrator is investigating reports of users experiencing difficulties logging into a VMware vCenter instance using LDAP accounts.
Which service should the administrator check as part of troubleshooting?
Refer to the exhibit.
After updating a predefined alarm on VMware vCenter, an administrator enables email notifications as shown in the attached alarm; however, notifications are NOT being sent.
Where must the mail server settings be configured by the administrator to resolve this issue?
Following a merger with another company, an administrator is tasked with configuring an identity source for VMware vCenter so that all vSphere administrators can authenticate using their existing Active Directory accounts. Each company has user accounts in their own Active Directory forests.
The following additional information has been provided:
• The corporate policy states that only Windows-based machine accounts are allowed in Active Directory. Which action should the administrator take to configure vCenter Single Sign-On (SSO) to meet this requirement?
An administrator notices a performance issue in VMvvare vCenter To try and understand more about the performance issue, the administrator needs to gather more information about the vCenter database to eliminate a potential disk space issue.
Which two tools can the administrator use? (Choose two.)
An administrator is tasked with deploying a new on-premises software-defined data center (SDDC) that will contain a total of eight VMware vCenter instances.
The following requirements must be met:
• All vCenter instances should be visible in a single vSphere Client session.
• All vCenter inventory should be searchable from a single vSphere Client session.
• Any administrator must be able to complete operations on any vCenter instance using a single set of credentials.
What should the administrator configure to meet these requirements?
An administrator needs to consolidate a number of physical servers by migrating the workloads to a software-defined data center solution.
Which VMware solution should the administrator recommend?
An administrator must gracefully restart a virtual machine (VM) through the vSphere Client but the option is greyed out. The administrator has full administrative access on VMware vCenter and all the objects available in vCenter, but has no access to log onto the operating system.
Which action should the administrator take to meet the objective?
An administrator enables Secure Boot on an ESXi host. On booting the ESXi host, the following error message appears:
Fatal error: 39 (Secure Boot Failed)
An administrator manually configures a reference ESXi host that meets company security standards for vSphere environments. The administrator now needs to apply all of the security standards to every identically configured host across multiple vSphere clusters within a single VMware vCenter instance.
Which four steps would the administrator complete to meet this requirement? (Choose four.)
When configuring vCenter High Availability (HA), which two statements are true regarding the active, passive, and witness nodes? (Choose two.)
Which feature would allow for the non-disruptive migration of a virtual machine between two clusters in a single VMware vCenter instance?

Which option would allow the administrator to achieve this?
An administrator is tasked with looking into the disaster recovery (DR) options for a software-defined data center (SDDC).
The following requirements must be met:

•The source VMs must remain online until the failover.
•When failing over to the secondary site, application downtime is allowed
