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?
Correct Answer:D

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.
A vSphere environment is experiencing intermittent short bursts of CPU contention, causing brief production outages for some of the virtual machines (VMs). To understand the cause of the issue, the administrator wants to observe near real-time statistics for all VMs.
Which two vSphere reporting tools could the administrator use? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:AE
Advanced Performance Charts and esxtop are both vSphere reporting tools that can be used to observe near real-time statistics for all VMs. Advanced Performance Charts provides a graphical view of performance data, while esxtop is a command-line tool that provides more detailed information.
An administrator is tasked with implementing a backup solution capable of backing up the Su-pervisor cluster, vSphere Pods, and persistent volumes.

Which three features are only available when using vSphere Distributed Switches instead of vSphere Standard Switches? (Choose three.)
Correct Answer:BCD
Three features that are only available when using vSphere Distributed Switches instead of vSphere Standard Switches are port mirroring, which allows monitoring network traffic on a virtual switch port; Netflow, which allows collecting IP traffic information from a virtual switch; and configuration backup and restore, which allows saving and restoring distributed switch settings.

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.
Correct Answer:D
The security policy that must be configured at the port group level to allow all traffic to be forwarded regardless of the destination is promiscuous mode set to accept, which allows receiving all traffic on a virtual switch port.

An administrator is tasked with configuring an appropriate Single Sign-On (SSO) solution for VMware vCenter based on the following criteria:
• The solution should support the creation of Enhanced Link Mode groups.
• All user accounts are stored within a single Active Directory domain and the solution must support only this Active Directory domain as the identity source.
• All user account password and account lockout policies must be managed within the Active Directory domain.
• The solution should support token-based authentication.
Which SSO solution should the administrator choose based on the criteria?
Correct Answer:A
„ In vCenter Server Identity Provider Federation, vCenter Server uses the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol to receive an identity token that authenticates the user with vCenter Server.“ Integrated Windows Authentication is deprecated since vSphere 7.0
