o vSphere supports a maximum of eight simultaneous VMotion, cloning, deployment, or Storage VMotion accesses to a single VMFS3
datastore, and a maximum of four simultaneous VMotion, cloning, deployment, or Storage VMotion accesses to a single NFS or VMFS2
datastore. A migration with VMotion involves one access to the datastore. A migration with Storage VMotion involves one access to the
source datastore and one access to the destination datastore
o Disks are converted from thin to thick format or thick to thin format only when they are copied from one datastore to another. If you choose
to leave a disk in its original location, the disk format is not converted.
o Thin or thick provisioned – not available for RDMs in physical compatibility mode. If you select this option for a virtual compatibility mode
RDM, the RDM is converted to a virtual disk. RDMs converted to virtual disks cannot be converted back to RDMs.
o You can run the storage vmotion 220 702 command in either interactive or noninteractive mode.
o Interactive mode, type svmotion --interactive.
o Noninteractive mode: svmotion [Standard CLI options] --datacenter=<datacenter name> --vm ‘<VM config datastore path>:<new
datastore>’ [--disks ‘<virtual disk datastore path>:<new datastore>, <virtual disk datastore path>:<new datastore>]’
o A snapshot captures the entire state of the VM at the time you take the snapshot. This includes:
o Memory state – The contents of the VM’s memory.
o Settings state – The VM settings.
o Disk state – The state of all the VM’s virtual disks.
o Snapshots of raw disks, RDM physical mode disks, and independent disks are not supported.
o Change Disk Mode to independent to Exclude Virtual Disks from Snapshots
o Persistent – Disks in persistent mode behave like conventional disks on your physical computer. All data written to a disk in persistent mode
are written permanently to the disk.
o Nonpersistent – Changes are discarded when you power off or reset the VM. Nonpersistent mode enables you to restart the VM with a virtual
disk in the same state every time. Changes to the disk are actually written to and read from a redo log file that is deleted when you power off
or reset.
o Snapshots:
o Delete – commits the snapshot data to the parent and removes the selected snapshot.
o Delete All – commits all the immediate snapshots before the You are here current state to the base disk and removesall existing
snapshots for that VM.
o Revert to Snapshot – a shortcut to the parent snapshot of “You are here”.
o If you use Active Directory groups for permissions, make sure that they are security groups and not distribution groups.
o Users who are currently logged in and are removed from the domain retain their vSphere permissions only until the next validation period (the
default is every 24 hours).
o A role is a predefined set of privileges. Privileges define basic individual rights required to perform actions and read properties. When you
assign a user or group permissions, 9L0-403 you pair the user or group with a role and associate that pairing with an inventory object.
o Default roles:
o System roles – System roles are permanent. You cannot edit the privileges associated with these roles.
o Sample roles – VMware provides sample roles for convenience as guidelines and suggestions. You can modify or remove these roles.
o You can also create completely new roles.
o All roles permit the user to schedule tasks by default. Users can schedule only tasks they have permission to perform at the time the tasks are
created.
o Default roles:
Role Role Type Description of User Capabilities
No Access system Cannot view or change the assigned object. available in ESX/ESXi and vCenter Server.
Read Only system View the state and details about the object. available on ESX/ESXi and vCenter
Server.

Testking VCP-410

o NPIV support is subject to the following limitations:
o NPIV must be enabled on the SAN switch.
o NPIV is supported only for VMs with RDM disks.
o The physical HBAs on the ESX host must have access to a LUN using its WWNs in order for any VMs on that host to have access to that
LUN using their NPIV WWNs.
o The physical HBAs on the ESX host 220 701 must support NPIV.
o Each VMcan have up to 4 virtual ports. NPIV-enabled VMs are assigned exactly 4 NPIV-related WWNs. Can utilize up to 4 physical HBAs
for NPIV purposes.
o A VM with WWNs that are already in use on the storage network is prevented from powering on.
o While hyperthreading does not double the performance of a system, it can increase performance by better utilizing idle resources.
o The advanced CPU settings are useful only for fine-grained tweaking of critical VMs.
o NUMA memory node affinity enables fine-grained control over how VM memory is distributed to host physical memory.
o Specify nodes to be used for future memory allocations only if you have also specified CPU affinity.
o The following NIC types are supported:
vNIC Description
Flexible Supported on VMs that were created on ESX Server 3.0 or greater and that run 32-bit guest operating systems.
The Flexible adapter functions as a vlance adapter if VMware Tools is not installed in the VM and as a vmxnet
driver if VMware Tools is installed in the VM.
e1000 Emulates the functioning of an E1000 network card. It is the default adapter type for VMs that run 64-bit guest
operating systems.
Enhanced vmxnet An upgraded version of the vmxnet device with enhanced performance. It requires that VMware Tools be
installed in the VM.
vmxnet 3 Next generation vmxnet device with enhanced performance and enhanced networking features. It requires that
VMware Tools be installed in the VM, and is available only on VMs with hardware version 7 and greater.
o Independent disks are not affected by snapshots.
o Two modes for independent disks:
o Persistent – The disk operates normally except that changes to the disk are permanent even if the VM is reverted to a snapshot.
o Nonpersistent – The disk appears to operate normally, but whenever the VM is powered off or reverted to a snapshot, the contents of
the disk return to their original state. All later changes are discarded.
o VMDirectPath I/O allows a guest operating system on a VM to directly access physical PCI and PCIe devices connected to a host. Each VM can
be connected to up to two PCI devices. PCI devices connected to a host can be marked as available for passthrough from the Hardware
Advanced Settings in the Configuration tab for the host.
o Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) adapters are high-performance storage adapters that can provide greater throughput and lower CPU utilization.
PVSCSI adapters are best suited for environments, especially SAN environments, running I/O-intensive applications. PVSCSI adapters are not
suited for DAS environments.
o Hardware requirements for 220 702 customizing the guest operating system:
o Must reside on a disk attached as SCSI 0:0 node in the VM configuration.
o If a VM has mixed IDE and SCSI disks, the first IDE disk is considered the boot disk, and vCenter Server passes it to the customizer.
o If the new VM encounters customization errors while it is booting
o Customization errors are logged to (Windows guest) %WINDIR%\temp\vmware-imc or (Linux guest) /var/log/vmware/customization.log.
o When you migrate a suspended VM, the new host for the VM must meet CPU compatibility requirements, because the VM must resume
executing instructions on the new host.
o Use of Jumbo Frames is recommended for best VMotion performance.
o Some restrictions apply when migrating VMs with snapshots. You cannot migrate a virtual machine with snapshots with Storage VMotion.
o You can migrate as long as the VM is being migrated to a new host without moving its configuration file or disks (the VM must reside on
shared storage accessible to both hosts).
o Reverting to a snapshot after migration with VMotion might cause the VM to fail, because the migration wizard cannot verify the compatibility
of the VM state in the snapshot with the destination host.
o During a migration with Storage VMotion, you can transform virtual disks from thick-provisioned to thin or from thin-provisioned to thick.
o Storage VMotion is subject to the following requirements and limitations:
o Virtual machines with snapshots cannot be migrated using Storage VMotion.
o Virtual machine disks must be in persistent mode or be raw device mappings (RDMs). For virtual compatibility mode RDMs, you can
migrate the mapping file or 220 701 convert to thick-provisioned or thinprovisioned disks during migration as long as the destination is not an NFS
datastore. For physical compatibility mode RDMs, you can migrate the mapping file only.
o Must have a license that includes Storage VMotion.
o ESX/ESXi 3.5 hosts must be licensed and configured for VMotion. ESX/ESXi 4.0 and later hosts do not require VMotion configuration in
order to perform migration with Storage VMotion.
o A particular host can be involved in up to two migrations with VMotion or Storage VMotion at one time

VCP-410 Real Exam Questions

o The vSphere Client validates an OVF file before importing it.
o A vApp is a container, like a resource pool and can contain one or more VMs. A vApp can power on and power off, and can also be cloned.
o The vApp metadata resides in the vCenter Server's database
o You can add an object, such as a VM or another vApp, to an existing vApp.
o An IP pool is a network configuration that is assigned to a network used by a vApp. The vApp can then leverage vCenter Server to
automatically provide an IP configuration to its VMs.
o Each application within the service will be powered on according to how the startup order is set. When powering on a vApp within a DRS
cluster in manual mode, no DRS vcp 4 recommendations are generated for VM placements. The power on operation performs as if DRS is run in a
semi-automatic or automatic mode for the initial placements of the VMs. This does not affect VMotion recommendations. Recommendations
for individual powering on and powering off of VMs are also generated for vApps that are running
o A VM’s name can be up to 80 characters long. Names are case insensitive.
o Virtual machine version 4 — Compatible with ESX 3.0 and greater hosts and VMware Server 1.0 and greater hosts.
o Virtual machine version 7 — Compatible with ESX 4.0 and greater hosts. Provides greater VM functionality.
o Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) adapters are high-performance storage adapters that can result in greater throughput and lower CPU utilization.
o Best suited for high performance storage environments.
o Not suited for DAS environments. VMware recommends that you create a primary adapter (LSI Logic by default) for use with a disk that
will host the system software (boot disk) and a separate PVSCSI adapter for the disk that will store user data, such as a database.
o Paravirtual SCSI adapters are available for VMs running hardware version 7 and greater. They are supported on the following guest operating
systems:
o Windows Server 2008
o Windows Server 2003
o Red Hat Linux (RHEL) 5
o Features not supported with Paravirtual SCSI adapters:
o Boot disks
o Record/Replay
o Fault Tolerance
o MSCS Clustering
o SCSI controller types:
o BusLogic Parallel
o LSI Logic SAS
o LSI Logic Parallel
o VMware Paravirtual
o Thin Provisioned Format – vmware vcp 4 Use this format to save storage space. If a virtual disk supports clustering solutions such as Fault Tolerance, you
cannot make the disk thin. You can manually convert the thin disk into thick.
o Thick Format – This is the default virtual disk format. It is not possible to convert the thick disk into thin. (EDIT: you can via Storage VMotion)
o Automatic VMware Tools upgrade is not supported for VMs with Solaris or Netware guest operating systems.
o If you are using a WYSE thin client device to conduct remote desktop sessions using VMware VDI, installing WYSE Multimedia Support in the
guest operating system improves the performance of streaming video. WYSE Multimedia Support is supported on the Windows 2003 and
Windows XP guest operating systems only. WYSE Multimedia Support is installed as part of a VMware Tools installation or upgrade.
o Virtual machines with hardware versions lower than 4 can run on ESX4 hosts but have reduced performance and capabilities. In particular, you
cannot add or remove virtual d640 802 evices on VMs with hardware versions lower than 4 when they reside on an ESX4 host.
o Virtual Machine Hardware Versions:
Host Version 7 Version 4 Version 3 Compatible with vCenter Server version

ESX Server 2.x – – create, edit, run VirtualCenter Server 1.x and higher
o SCSI Bus Sharing list:
Option Description
None Virtual disks cannot be shared by other VMs.
Virtual Virtual disks can be shared by VMs on same server.
Physical Virtual disks can be 640 802 shared by VMs on any server.
o Memory/CPU Hotplug – VMware Tools must be installed for hotplug functionality to work properly.
o VMI – A paravirtualization standard that enables improved performance for VMs capable of utilizing it.
o Enabling paravirtualization utilizes one of the VM’s six virtual PCI slots
o A VM with paravirtualization enabled and that is powered off can be moved manually to a host that does not support paravirtualization.
However, this can result in reduced performance.
o N-port ID virtualization (NPIV) – Provides the ability to share a single physical Fibre Channel HBA port among multiple virtual ports, each with
unique identifiers. This allows control over VMaccess to LUNs on a per-VMbasis.

o Performance charts
o WebAccess
o vCenter Storage Monitoring/Storage Views tab
o vCenter Service Status
o When a server is connected to other vCenter Server systems using Linked Mode, you can connect to that vCenter Server system and view and
manage the inventories of all the vCenter Server systems that are linked.
o Linked Mode uses Microsoft Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) to store and synchronize data.
o The following requirements apply VCP-410 exam to each vCenter Server system that is a member of a Linked Mode group:
o DNS must be operational.
o Can be in different domains if the domains have a two-way trust relationship.
o When adding a vCenter instance to a Linked Mode group, the installer must be run by a domain user who is an administrator on both the
machines.
o Must have network time synchronization. The installer validates that the machine clocks are not more than 5 minutes apart.
o The roles defined on each vCenter Server system in a linked mode group are replicated to the other systems in the group.
o Troubleshooting:
o Conflicts can occur, when you clone a vCenter Server instance that is running in a VM and you do not use sysprep or a similar utility to
ensure that the cloned vCenter Server instance has a globally unique identifier (GUID).
o The DNS name of the machine must match with the actual machine name.
o Joining a Linked Mode group:
1. Verify that the vCenter Server domain name matches the machine name.
2. Update the URLs to make them compatible with the new domain name and machine name (if required).
3. Join the vCenter Server system to a Linked Mode group.
o When you are logged in to a vCenter Server system that is part of a connected group, you can monitor the health of services running on each
server in the group.
o Client uses ports 80 and 443 to communicate with vCenter Server and ESX/ESXi hosts. These ports cannot be changed.
o The SNMP traps sent by vCenter Server are defined in VMWARE-VC-EVENT-MIB.mib
o ESX/ESXi includes an SNMP agent VCP-410 exam questions embedded in hostd that can both send traps and receive polling requests such as GET requests. This agent is
referred to as the embedded SNMP agent. Versions of ESX prior to ESX 4.0 included a Net-SNMP-based agent. You can continue to use this
Net-SNMPbased agent in ESX 4.0 with MIBs supplied by your hardware vendor and other third-party management applications. However, to
use the VMware MIB files, you must use the embedded SNMP agent. By default, the embedded SNMP agent is disabled. To enable it, use the
vSphere CLI command vicfg-snmp.
o Both the embedded SNMP agent and the Net-SNMP-based agent available in the ESX service console listen on UDP port 161 by default. If you
enable both of these agents for polling on an ESX host, you must change the port used by at least one of them.
o Can use SNMP to monitor guest operating systems or applications running in VMs. Do not install agents in the VM that are intended to
monitor physical hardware.
o VMware MIB Files

VCP-410 Dumps

o After you upgrade all of your hosts to ESX4/ESXi4, you can optionally uninstall your license server and remove the license server configuration
from vCenter Server.
o For ESXi, the vSphere Host Update Utility does not support roll back.
o You can remove the ESX 4.0 boot option from the ESX bootloader menu and perform a complete roll back to ESX 3.x. Any changes made to
the ESX 4.0 service console are lost after the rollback.
o Any changes made to VMs will persist after the rollback.
o If you upgraded the VM hardware, the VMs will not work after you perform the ESX rollback. To avoid this situation, take a snapshot of
the VM before you upgrade the VM hardware.
o Run the rollback-to-esx3 command – VCP-410 exam questions reconfigures the bootloader.
o Reboot the server.
o After the host boots into ESX 3.x, delete the ESX 4.0 service console VMDK folder from the VMFS datastore.
o Each time you update an ESXi host, a copy of the ESXi build is saved on your host.
o ESXi permits only one level of rollback.
o When you manually boot into the standby build instead of the current boot build, an irreversible rollback occurs.
o When the page that displays the current boot build appears, press Shift+r to select the standby build.
o Do not use vmware-vmupgrade.exe to upgrade VMs.
o Some VMs that you create on ESX4 hosts are supported on ESX 3.x/ESXi 3.5 hosts. If you create a VM on ESX4 and select the typical path, the
virtual hardware version is version 7. Virtual machines with virtual hardware version 7 are not supported on ESX 3.x/ESXi 3.5 hosts. Select the
custom path and select virtual hardware version 4
o If you create VMs that use paravirtualization (VMI) or an enhanced networking device (vmxnet), VMotion is not supported. In this case, you
can only move the VM to the ESX 3.x host if the VM is powered off.
o On Windows guest operating systems, you must reboot the VM a total of three times when you upgrade VMware Tools and the virtual
hardware:
1. Power on the VM.
2. Upgrade VMware Tools.
3. Reboot the VM at the end of VCP-410 study guide the VMware Tools upgrade.
4. Power off the VM.
5. Upgrade the virtual Hardware.
6. Power on the VM.
7. The Windows operating system detects new devices and prompts you to reboot the VM.
8. Reboot the VM to make the devices work properly.
o During the virtual hardware upgrade, the VM must be shut down for all guest operating systems.
o When you upgrade from virtual hardware version 3 to version 7, the upgrade is irreversible, even if you take a VM backup or snapshot before
performing the upgrade. 4 to version 7 the upgrade is reversible if you take a VM backup or snapshot
o Tools for installing updates and patches to ESX/ESXi hosts:
o Host Update Utility – graphical utility for ESXi only.
o Update Manager – for ESX and ESXi,
o vihostupdate – command-line utility for ESX and ESXi.
o esxupdate – command-line utility for ESX only.
o If the Host Update Utility does not meet the needs of your environment, you can customize the application the settings.config XML file,
located in %PROGRAMFILES%\VMware\Infrastructure\VIUpdate 4.0
o Run vihostupdate on ESX 4.0/ESXi 4.0 hosts. Run vihostupdate35 on ESX 3.5/ESXi 3.5 hosts.
o The esxupdate utility is supported as well. It is for ESX only.
o The vihostupdate command works with bulletins.
o You can use the vihostupdate utility in conjunction with offline bundles or with a depot.
o To get the build number of an ESX4 host: # vmware –l (from KB 1001179).

o vShield Zones – an application-aware VCP-410 questions firewall built for vCenter Server integration. It inspects client-server communications and intervirtual-
machine communication to provide detailed traffic analytics and application-aware firewall partitioning.
o Orchestrator – a workflow engine that enables you to create and execute automated workflows.
o Data Recovery – a disk-based backup and recovery solution. Enable centralized and efficient management of backup jobs and includes
data de-duplication.
o Tomcat Web server is installed as part of the vCenter Server installation. The components that require Tomcat are:
