Embedded
centralized
28. What are different types of vCenter Server deployment?
It has two deployment types
Embedded Deployment
External deployment
29. What is vRealize Operation (vROP)
vROP provides the operation dashboards for performance
analytics, capacity optimization and monitoring the virtual
environment.
Content Libraries
45. What is the Content Library?
Content Library is the central location point between two
different geographical locations with vCenter Servers where you
can store VM templates, ISO images, scripts etc. and share them
between geographical locations
VSAN
50. What is vSAN?
Virtual SAN is a software-defined storage first introduced in
vSphere 5.5 and is fully integrated with vSphere. It aggregates
locally attached storage of ESXi hosts which are part of a
cluster and creates a distributed shared solution.
56. How are many maximum ESXi hosts allowed for vSAN?
64 hosts are max allowed to configure a vSAN cluster.
57. How many disk groups and max magnetic disks are allowed in
single disk group?
Maximum 5 disk groups are allowed on an ESXi host which is a
part of a vSAN cluster and a maximum of 7 magnetic and 1 SSD per
disk group is allowed.
Miscellaneous
66. What is VMware DRS?
DRS stands for Distributed Resource Scheduler; that
automatically balances available resources among various hosts
by using cluster or resource pools. With the help of HA, DRS can
move VMs from one host to another to balance the available
resources among VMs.
69. What are the hot-pluggable devices which can be added while
VM is running?
We can add HDDs and NIC while VM is running.
70. What is a Template?
When a VM is converted into a format which can be used to create
a VM with pre-defined settings is called a template. An
installed VM can be converted into a template but it cannot be
powered-on.
