VMware High Availability and Fault Tolerance

What happens when a master host in a vSphere HA cluster fails? A: The last host to join the cluster is selected as the new master host. An election process takes place to choose a new master host.----The cluster continues without the master host until the original master host comes back online. The vCenter Server promotes another host as the master host. What happens when the host running the primary fault tolerant virtual machine fails? Choose two. A: The primarys disks are Storage vMotion migrated to a new host and the primary is restarted. The secondary virtual machine takes over and becomes the primary virtual machine1 HA starts another secondary virtual machine1 A recent backup will be retrieved and marked as the primary virtual machine. Which are valid statements regarding vSphere HA admission control? Choose two. A: A maximum of two hosts can be specified as failover hosts. Multiple hosts can be specified as the failover hosts.1m The Host Failures Cluster Tolerates policy evaluates CPU, memory, storage, and network resources.1m The Percentage of Cluster Resources Reserved policy only evaluates CPU and memory resources Which statement is correct about fault tolerant primary and secondary virtual machines? A: The secondary virtual machine is powered on and synchronized with the log only when the primary virtual machine fails. When the secondary virtual machine becomes the primary virtual machine, the administrator is immediately prompted to create a new primary.---mWhen the primary virtual machine is shut down, the secondary virtual machine continues to run on the same host.-------m When the primary virtual machine boots, the secondary virtual machine also boots. After the failure of an ESXi host, what is the primary goal of vSphere HA? A: Recover the host Restart the virtual machines-------

Restart and load balance the virtual machines Log the error in the vCenter Server error log Which features must be available on an ESXi host in order for it to run fault tolerant virtual machines? Choose three. A: Host certificate checking1 Shared storage1 NIC-teamed management network FT-compatible CPUs1 What happens to a virtual machine on a failed host in a vSphere HA cluster? A: vSphere HA attempts to reboot the virtual machine on another host in the cluster. The virtual machine is vMotion migrated to another host in the cluster. The virtual machine is rebooted once its disks are Storage vMotion migrated to another host in the cluster.----m The virtual machine is retrieved from the backup, synchronized, and then restarted If VM Monitoring is enabled, what happens when a virtual machine fails on an ESXi host in a vSphere HA cluster? A: An alarm is sent and the virtual machine remains unavailable until it is rebooted by an administrator. vSphere HA attempts to restart the virtual machine.----The virtual machine is retrieved from the backup, synchronized, and then restarted. The virtual machine primary copy is restarted on another host using vMotion. Identify the primary benefit of using vLockstep technology. A: Seamless movement of virtual machines from one host to another host Ability to increase throughput by running virtual machines in parallel Back up of all virtual machines on a single host Capability to switch to a secondary virtual machine when the primary virtual machine fails----What happens when Fault Tolerance is disabled on the primary virtual machine? A: The secondary virtual machine maintains the Fault Tolerance state. The secondary virtual machine is automatically powered off and deleted.----A new primary virtual machine is restarted on another host. The secondary virtual machine is placed in standby mode for a configurable amount of time before being deleted.

Which action is taken by vSphere HA if the heartbeats for an application are not received for a specified time? A: The application is restarted. The virtual machine is restarted.----A secondary virtual machine is started.-----m The host is restarted. What happens when attempts to restart a virtual machine fail in a vSphere HA cluster? A: The virtual machine is retrieved from the backup and restarted. Virtual machine restart attempts are discontinued after 15 minutes (by default).----m A message is logged in vCenter Server and an attempt is made to power on the virtual machine again when host resources change.---The virtual machine is halted and a message is sent to the administrator about the failed virtual machine. Which vSphere HA admission control policy uses slot calculations? A: Host Failures Cluster Tolerates---Percentage of Cluster Resources Reserved Specify Failover Hosts VM Monitoring, if enabled vSphere 5.0, what is the recommended maximum number of fault tolerant virtual machines on an ESXi host? A: 4---8 12 16 If VM Monitoring is enabled, what does vSphere HA use to determine whether or not a virtual machine is functioning? Choose two. A: Virtual machine CPU activity Virtual machine RAM activity Virtual machine I/O activity1 VMware Tools heartbeats1

vSphere HA can detect which types of failures? Choose three.

A: Host failure1 Virtual machine failure1 Application failure1 vCenter Server failure In a vSphere HA cluster, which of the following are the responsibilities of a master host? Choose two. A: Monitoring the power state of all protected virtual machines.1 Coordinating HA activities in conjunction with other master hosts. Participating in the election process to select a new master host. Acting as the clusters interface to vCenter Server.1 Which two methods can be used to provide vSphere HA management network redundancy? Choose two. A: Configure the management interface on a NIC team. Configure the management interface with a multicast IP address.1m Configure the management interface on a promiscuous PVLAN.1m Configure two management interfaces on two management networks Which features are supported with Fault Tolerance? Choose two. A: DRS, if EVC is enabled2 Single CPU virtual machines vMotion migration1m2 Virtual machine snapshots1m
