An administrator is updating a program running on a virtual machine. The update file has been downloaded as an .iso file and placed on a shared NFS datastore. An attempt to mount the .iso file to the virtual machine fails, but subsequent testing shows that the .iso file can be mounted to a virtual machine running on another ESXi host. Which step can be taken to enable access to the .iso file for the affected virtual machine?

A vSphere 5 implementation consists of a fully automated DRS cluster with two ESXi 5.x hosts with the following vSphere Standard Switch configuration: 1. Switch A. three vmnics, one port group named sFTP-PG 2. Switch B. two vmnics, one port group named Web-PG 3. All vmnics are trunked to the same physical switch.

During a physical network reconfiguration, an ESXi host briefly lost connection to the management network. High Availability (HA) began powering off the virtual machines residing on the affected host to be restarted on an unaffected host in the cluster. Which setting should the administrator configure to prevent this type of HA failover during planned maintenance?

An administrator is evaluating whether to deploy vCenter Server on a Windows server or as a vCenter Server appliance. The administrator has the following requirements: Utilize a web browser to manage the vSphere environment. 16 ESXi hosts will be managed. Licenses must be shared with the vCenter Server environment at another site. An external Oracle 10g database server will be used for the vCenter Server database. Why will the administrator need to deploy vCenter Server on a Windows server?

A vSphere administrator needs to enable Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS) in an existing vSphere environment: The environment contains a High Availability (HA) cluster with eight ESXi hosts. Six ESXi hosts will be added to the cluster. DRS should be used on as many hosts as possible. Initial placement of virtual machines should be automatically performed. Migration recommendations should be provided, but not performed without approval. Which procedure should the administrator perform to accomplish this task?
