Answer: B,C

o When you restore the standard switch, a new virtual adapter is created and the management network uplink that is currently connected to
vNetwork Distributed Switch is migrated to the new virtual switch.
o The software creates these partitions:
o One 4GB VFAT scratch 220 701 partition for system swap.
o One VMFS3 partition on the remaining free space.
o The installer creates a 110MB diagnostic partition for core dumps.
o The scratch partition is not required (but created by default during the installation). It is used to store vm-support output, which you need
when you create a support bundle.
o Lockdown mode prevents remote personnel from logging in to the ESXi host by using the root login name. By default, lockdown mode is
disabled.
o Resetting the configuration does not remove virtual machines on the ESXi host. After you reset the configuration defaults, the virtual
machines are not visible, but you can retrieve them by reconfiguring storage and reregistering the virtual machines.
o When you perform a configuration backup, the serial number is backed up with the configuration and is restored when you restore the
configuration. The serial number is not preserved when you run the Recovery CD (ESXi Embedded) or perform the repair operation (ESXi
Installable).
o When you restore the configuration, the target host must be in maintenance mode, which means all virtual machines (including the vSphere
CLI virtual appliance) must be powered off.
o Run the vicfg-cfgbackup command with the -s flag to save the host configuration to the specified backup filename.
o When you restore 220 702 configuration data, the build number currently running on the host must be the same as the build number that was running
when you created the backup file. You can override this requirement by including the -f (force) flag with the vicfg-cfgbackup
command.
o Run the vicfg-cfgbackup command with the -l flag to load the host configuration from the specified backup file.
o You can restore the ESXi Installable software by running the ESXi installation CD in repair mode. All host configuration data is overwritten by
system defaults.
o During the repair operation, your existing ESXi 4.0 Installable VMFS datastore is preserved if it is in its original location on the ESXi 4.0 boot
disk, or if it is located on another disk (separate from the boot disk). If you changed the VMFS location on the boot disk, it is preserved if it is
located beyond the 900MB partition.
vSphere upgrade guide
o When you upgrade from ESX 3.x/ESXi 3.5 to ESX 4.0/ESXi 4.0, you can use either the vSphere Host Update Utility or vCenter Update Manager.
o EDIT – you can also use the upgrade script (esxupgrade.sh – KB 1009440). VMware doesn’t mention the option of a fresh install at any point;
they are pushing the upgrade option as much as possible. You can’t seem to do an upgrade with the ESX4 install CD.
o Host Update Utility is used for upgrading ESX 3.x/ESXi 3.5 standalone hosts to ESX 4.0/ESXi 4.0 and for patching ESXi 4.0 standalone hosts. It is
a standalone Microsoft Windows application recommended for smaller deployments with fewer than 10 ESX/ESXi hosts, without vCenter
Server or Update Manager.
o vCenter Update Manager is for upgrading and updating ESX/ESXi hosts that are managed in vCenter Server.
o Orchestrated upgrades can be used to upgrade the VM hardware and VMware Tools.
o No VMFS upgrade is required if you are upgrading from ESX 3.x
o You must upgrade VMware Tools before upgrading virtual hardware.
o After you upgrade to vCenter Server, you cannot revert to VirtualCenter 2.x. Take appropriate backups before starting the upgrade.
o Upgrade VirtualCenter 2.x to vCenter Server 4.0:
o Make sure your database is compatible
o Have required permissions
o Take a full backup 220 701 of the VirtualCenter 2.x database
o Back up the VirtualCenter 2.x SSL certificates
o Install the vSphere Client
o vCenter Converter, upgrade
o vCenter Guided Consolidation upgrade
o Upgrade to vCenter Update Manager 4.0.
o Use vCenter Update Manager to upgrade ESX 3.x hosts to ESX 4.0. (or use host update utility)
o Use vCenter Update Manager to upgrade your VMs. vCenter Update Manager ensures that the VMware Tools upgrade and the virtual
hardware upgrade happen in the correct order
o Upgrade your product licenses
o ESX 2.x hosts cannot be added to clusters.
o Oracle 9i is no longer supported.
o Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is no longer supported.
o To Back Up VirtualCenter 2.x:
o Make a full backup of the VirtualCenter 2.x database.

o All product licenses are encapsulated in 25-character license keys that you can manage and monitor from vCenter Server.
o vSphere Licenses – For ESX/ESXi.
o vCenter Server Licenses – For vCenter Server.
o vCenter Server 4.0 does not require a license server to manage ESX 4.0/ESXi 4.0 hosts. However, vCenter Server 4.0 does requires a license
server to manage ESX 3.x/ESXi 3.5 hosts.
o If a vCenter Server license expires, the managed hosts become disconnected.
o If an ESX/ESXi host license expires, the VMs that reside on the host continue to run, but you cannot power on the VMs or reset them.
ESXi Installable and vCenter Server Setup Guide
o When you power on the ESXi host for the first time or after resetting the configuration defaults, the host enters an autoconfiguration phase
during which system network and storage devices are configured with defaults.
o By default, DHCP configures IP and all visible blank internal disks are formatted with VMFS so that virtual machines can be stored on the disks.
o ESXi has an interface vmware vcp 4 called the direct console to:
o Configuring host defaults
o Setting up administrative access
o Troubleshooting
o Minimum hardware configurations supported by ESXi 4.0:
o 64-bit x86 CPUs.
o 2GB RAM minimum
o Supported SATA, SAS or SCSI disks
o The installer reformats and partitions the target disk and installs the ESXi 4.0 boot image.
o ESXi Installable is always installed in evaluation mode (60 days).
o ESXi Installable and ESXi Embedded cannot exist on the same host.
o Booting multiple servers from a single shared ESXi image is not supported.

o Fault Tolerance – a VCP-410 exam questions secondary copy. Actions completed on the primary VM are also applied to the secondary VM. If the primary VM becomes
unavailable, the secondary machine becomes active, providing continual availability.
o Distributed Virtual Switch (DVS) – spans many hosts reduction of maintenance and increasing network capacity.
o Host Profiles – host configuration management through user-defined configuration policies. Captures the blueprint and monitors compliance.
o Pluggable Storage Array (PSA) – greater array certification flexibility and improved array-optimized performance. A multipath I/O framework.
o Cluster – aggregate computing and memory resources of a group of physical x86 servers sharing the same network and storage arrays.
o Resource pools – partitions of computing and memory resources from a single host or a cluster. can be hierarchical and nested.
o Storage VMotion – enables the migration of VMs from one datastore to another datastore without service interruption
o Fault Tolerance (FT) – uses vLockstep technology, continuous availability by protecting a VM (the Primary VM) with a shadow copy (Secondary
VM) that runs in virtual lockstep on a separate host.
o vNetwork Distributed Switch VCP-410 study guide (dvSwitch) – functions as a single virtual switch across all associated hosts.
o dvPort (distributed virtual port) – a port on a DVS that connects to a host’s service console or VMkernel or to a VM’s network adapter.
o vApp – has the same basic operation as a VM, but can contain multiple VMs or appliances.
o Web Access cannot be used to access a host running ESXi 4.0.
o Web Access is turned off by default for ESX hosts.
Getting Started with ESX
o ESX Service Console is held in the esxconsole.vmdk partition.
o vCenter Server uses Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express for small deployments with up to 5 hosts and 50 VMs.
o If SQL Native Client is already installed, uninstall SQL Native Client before you begin the vCenter Server installation.
o vCenter server must belong to a domain rather than a workgroup. Otherwise it’s not able to discover – using such features as vCenter Guided
Consolidation Service. The computer name cannot be more than 15 characters.
o vCenter Server cannot be an Active Directory domain controller.
o The Domain user account should have the following permissions:
o Member of the Administrators group
o Act as part of the operating system
o Log on as a service
ESX and vCenter server installation guide
o ESX4 will only install and run on servers with 64-bit x86 CPUs. They require a 2GB RAM minimum.
o vCenter Server must have 2 CPUs and 3GB RAM.
o The vCenter Server has a service called VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices. This service requires 128MB to 1.5GB of additional
memory.
o You can use a 32-bit Windows for up 200 hosts. A 64-bit Windows can have 200-300 hosts.
o The vSphere Client requires the Microsoft .NET 3.0 SP1 Framework.
o vCenter server required firewall ports:
Port Description
80 Redirects requests to HTTPS port 443.
389 LDAP port number for the Directory Services for the vCenter Server group. Needs to bind to port 389, even if you are not joining this
vCenter Server instance to a Linked Mode group.
443 Listen for connections from the vSphere Client.
636 For vCenter Linked Mode, this is the SSL port of the local instance
902 Uses to send data to managed hosts. Managed hosts also send a regular heartbeat over UDP port 902 to the vCenter
902/903 Ports used VCP-410 questions by vSphere Client to display VM consoles.
8080 Web Services HTTP. Used for the VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices.
8443 Web Services HTTPS. Used for the VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices.
o If ESX will not use an NTP server, make sure that the server hardware clock is set to UTC in the BIOS (EDIT: As a matter of best practice you
should always set ESX server’s hardware clocks to UTC)
o IPv6 is not supported for ESX installation
o The service console must be installed on a VMFS datastore that is resident on a host’s local disk or on a SAN disk that is masked and zoned to
that particular host only.
