VCP VMware Certified Professional 2V0-21.20 Certification 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which vSphere 7 feature allows a VM to span multiple physical hosts for computing resources?
- vSphere HA
- vSphere DRS (Correct answer)
- vSphere vMotion
- vSphere Fault Tolerance
Correct answer: vSphere DRS
vSphere DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) balances VM workloads across multiple hosts in a cluster.
Question 2: In vSphere 7, what is the maximum number of vCPUs supported per virtual machine?
- 128
- 256 (Correct answer)
- 512
- 1024
Correct answer: 256
vSphere 7 supports up to 256 vCPUs per virtual machine.
Question 3: Which vSphere storage policy feature ensures VM data is distributed across multiple storage arrays?
- RAID-5 erasure coding
- Storage DRS (Correct answer)
- vSAN stretched cluster
- Datastore cluster affinity rules
Correct answer: Storage DRS
Storage DRS automatically balances I/O and capacity across datastores in a datastore cluster.
Question 4: What happens to a VM protected by vSphere Fault Tolerance when the primary host fails?
- The VM restarts on another host within minutes
- The secondary VM instantly takes over with no data loss (Correct answer)
- HA restarts the VM on the least loaded host
- The VM suspends and waits for the host to recover
Correct answer: The secondary VM instantly takes over with no data loss
FT maintains a live secondary VM that takes over instantly with zero downtime and no data loss upon primary host failure.
Question 5: Which vSphere 7 networking feature allows a VM to be connected directly to a physical NIC with near-native performance?
- VMXNET3 adapter
- SR-IOV passthrough
- DirectPath I/O (Correct answer)
- vSphere Distributed Switch
Correct answer: DirectPath I/O
DirectPath I/O allows VMs to directly access physical PCI devices, including NICs, for near-native performance.
Question 6: In vCenter Server 7, what is the purpose of the Content Library?
- Store vCenter Server configuration backups
- Centrally manage and distribute VM templates and ISO files (Correct answer)
- Archive historical performance metrics
- Manage vSphere license keys
Correct answer: Centrally manage and distribute VM templates and ISO files
Content Library provides centralized storage and distribution of VM templates, OVF/OVA templates, ISO images, and scripts across vCenter instances.
Question 7: Which protocol is used by vSphere vMotion to migrate VM memory state during a live migration?
- iSCSI
- NFS
- TCP/IP over a dedicated VMkernel port (Correct answer)
- InfiniBand only
Correct answer: TCP/IP over a dedicated VMkernel port
vMotion uses TCP/IP over a designated VMkernel port (vmk) to transfer memory pages during live migration.
