2V0-11.24: VMware Cloud Foundation 5.2 Administrator

An administrator has a requirement to share the contents of a Content Library across multiple vCenter instances.

What steps should the administrator perform to meet this requirement?

Create a Subscribed content library on a single vCenter instance and perform a synchronization
Create a Subscribed content library on each vCenter instance and enable publishing
Create a Local content library on each vCenter instance and perform a synchronization
Create a Local content library on a single vCenter instance and enable publishing

Correct answer: D

Explanation:

To share the contents of a Content Library across multiple vCenter instances, you need to create a Local content library on one vCenter instance and enable publishing. This allows the library to be accessible by other vCenter instances, where they can subscribe to it, ensuring the content is shared.

While deploying a new VMware Cloud Foundation environment, a cloud administrator validates the information entered into the Deployment Parameter Workbook. The validation action results in an error and the VMware Cloud Builder GUI error message does not identify the cause.

Which logfile can the administrator use to identify the cause of the validation error?

VMware SDDC Manager appliance - vcf-deployment-debug.log
VMware Cloud Builder appliance - vcf-bringup-debug.log
VMware SDDC Manager appliance - vcf-bringup-debug.log
VMware Cloud Builder appliance - vcf-deployment-debug.log

Correct answer: D

Explanation:

The vcf-deployment-debug.log file on the VMware Cloud Builder appliance contains detailed logs related to the deployment process, including any validation errors. This log will help identify the cause of the error during the deployment validation phase.

An organization is integrating VMware vCenter with Active Directory (AD) to streamline user authentication. As part of this process, the administrator needs to add AD as an identity source in vCenter.

Which three steps must be performed to successfully add AD as an identity source? (Choose three.)

Enter the Domain Name and the credentials of an AD user with domain join privileges
Configure DNS settings on all ESXi hosts to point to the AD DNS servers.
Select 'Add Identity Source' and choose 'Active Directory (Integrated Windows Authentication)'.
Reboot the vCenter Server to apply the identity source settings.
Navigate to the vCenter Single Sign-On configuration in the vSphere Client.

Correct answer: ACE

Explanation:

When adding AD as an identity source, you need to enter the Domain Name and provide the credentials of an AD user with domain join privileges to authenticate and add the domain.In the vSphere Client, you need to select 'Add Identity Source' and choose the appropriate method for AD integration, which is typically 'Active Directory (Integrated Windows Authentication)'.The process to add AD as an identity source is performed under the vCenter Single Sign-On (SSO) configuration in the vSphere Client.

A newly added ESXi host is not able to communicate with the vCenter Server.

What three steps should an administrator take to diagnose and resolve this issue? (Choose three.)

Verify the network configuration on the ESXi host
Check the license on the ESXi host
Use the vSphere Client to review the host's network settings
Ensure that the management network is correctly configured and reachable
Restart the manaqement aqents on the ESXi host

Correct answer: ADE

Explanation:

Verifying the network configuration on the ESXi host ensures that the host is correctly configured for network communication with the vCenter Server.The management network must be properly configured and reachable from the ESXi host to communicate with the vCenter Server.Restarting the management agents on the ESXi host can resolve issues related to communication between the ESXi host and vCenter Server, as sometimes the agents might become unresponsive.

Which feature of VMware Lifecycle Manager allows an administrator to manage the lifecycle of ESXi hosts by applying a consistent image across the hosts in a cluster?

Host Profiles
Lifecycle Manager Images
Update Manager Baselines
vSphere Auto Deploy

Correct answer: B

Explanation:

VMware Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) enables administrators to manage the lifecycle of ESXi hosts by applying a consistent image across the hosts in a cluster. These images include the ESXi version, firmware, drivers, and settings, ensuring consistency and simplifying updates and patches across all hosts in a cluster.

After deploying the VMware Cloud Foundation management domain, an administrator needs to configure backup for the components within the domain.

Which two steps are involved in configuring the backup of VMware Cloud Foundation management components? (Choose two.)

Configure an external SFTP backup repository on the SDDC Manager.
Manually export the NSX configuration to the SDDC Manager.
Enable the vCenter Server snapshot manager on the SDDC Manager.
Install a third-party backup solution on each ESXi host.
Create a backup schedule on the SDDC manager to automate taking regular backups.

Correct answer: AE

Explanation:

To configure backups for the VMware Cloud Foundation management components, you must set up an external SFTP backup repository within the SDDC Manager. This repository will store the backup files for management components like vCenter, NSX Manager, and SDDC Manager itself.Creating a backup schedule within the SDDC Manager ensures that regular, automated backups are taken, helping to maintain data integrity and recovery options for the management domain.

A cloud administrator recently deployed a new VI workload domain. As part of the initial VI domain creation, the administrator created a new SSO domain. However, they reconsidered and now want the domain to use the same SSO domain as the management domain.

How can the VI domain be changed from a dedicated SSO domain to sharing the SSO domain with the management domain?

From the SDDC Manager console, use the rsautil command to add the VI workload domain to the management domain SSO ring.
The vSphere SSO domain cannot be changed once it has been deployed and a new VI workload domain that is part of the Management SSO domain must be created, and workloads migrated.
From the VI Workload Domain vCenter Server instance, use the rsautil command to join the management domain SSO ring.
From the Management Domain vCenter Server instance, use the rsautil command to add the VI workload domain to the management domain SSO ring.

Correct answer: B

Explanation:

Once the vSphere Single Sign-On (SSO) domain is set up for a workload domain, it cannot be changed. If you need the VI workload domain to use the same SSO domain as the management domain, you must create a new VI workload domain that is part of the management domain's SSO ring, and then migrate the workloads to the new domain.
