The administrator needs to ensure that the new VM template is synchronized from the primary data center site (London) to two secondary data center sites (Tokyo and New York). The administrator is aware that datastore space is limited within the secondary data center sites. The administrator needs to ensure that the VM template is available in the secondary sites the first time a new virtual machine is requested. Which four steps should the administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose four.) A. Create a new published content library at the primary site. B. Add the virtual machine template to the subscribed content library. C. Create a new published content library in each secondary site. D. Create a new subscribed content library in each secondary site. E. Configure the subscribed content library to download content when needed. F. Configure each subscribed content library to download content immediately. G. Add the virtual machine template to the published content library. Answer: ADEG Explanation: To meet the requirements of synchronizing and protecting images and templates with limited datastore space, the administrator needs to create a new published content library at the primary site, which makes it available for subscription by other vCenter Server instances; create a new subscribed content library in each secondary site, which allows accessing content from a published m content library; configure the subscribed content library to download content when needed, which saves datastore space by only downloading content on demand; and add the virtual machine template to the published content library, which makes it available for other hosts to use. o Reference: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMwarevSphere/ 7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-FBEED81C-F9D9-4193-BDCCE5752BC82210. gd html QUESTION 57 in An administrator is tasked with migrating a single virtual machine (VM) from an existing VMware vCenter to a secure environment where corporate security policy requires that all VMs be encrypted. The secure environment consists of a dedicated vCenter instance with a 4-node vSphere cluster and already contains a number of encrypted VMs. tk Which two steps must the administrator take to ensure the migration is a success? (Choose two.) er A. Ensure that the source and destination vCenter instances share the same Key Management Server (KMS). C B. Ensure that Encrypted vMotion Is turned off for the VM. C. Ensure that the VM is encrypted before attempting the migration. D. Ensure that the VM is powered off before attempting the migration. E. Ensure that the source and destination vCenter Servers have a different Key Management Server (KMS). Answer: AC Explanation: To ensure a successful migration of an encrypted VM to a secure environment, the administrator needs to ensure that the source and destination vCenter instances share the same Key Management Server (KMS), which provides encryption keys for both environments; and ensure that the VM is encrypted before attempting the migration, which allows preserving its encryption status during vMotion.

The vCenter inventory has a single data center with one management vSphere cluster and five workload vSphere clusters. The following requirements must be met for assigning the users access: Users must only be able to view all of the inventory objects associated with the management vSphere cluster. m Users must be able to edit all of the inventory objects associated with the workload vSphere clusters. The administrator creates a custom role to provide the permissions needed to allow users to edit o inventory objects. Which series of steps should the administrator complete to assign the custom role and provide the gd required level of access to users? A. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object. in Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters and enable propagation. B. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object and enable tk propagation. Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters and enable propagation. er C. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object. Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters. D. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object and enable C propagation. Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters. Answer: D Explanation: Option D is correct because it allows the administrator to apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object and enable propagation, which will apply to all of the inventory objects in vCenter, and then apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters, which will override the Global permissions and allow users to edit all of the inventory objects associated with the workload vSphere clusters. Option A is incorrect because it will not enable propagation for the Global permissions, which will limit the Read Only role to the root vCenter object only. Option B is incorrect because it will enable propagation for both the Global and vCenter permissions, which will create a conflict between the Read Only and custom roles. Option C is incorrect because it will not enable propagation for either the Global or vCenter permissions, which will limit the Read Only role to the root vCenter object only and the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters only.
