Free Practice Questions for VMware 2V0-16.25 Exam

VMware Toolsis a suite of services and drivers installed in a VM. It provides:

Guest OS heartbeat service (B):Used by vCenter to monitor VM health.

Device drivers (C):Optimized drivers for network, storage, graphics, and mouse/keyboard integration.

Other options:

A. Journaling of file system metadata→ Provided by the guest OS filesystem, not VMware Tools.

D. Stores VM configuration files→ Handled by vCenter/ESXi, not VMware Tools.

E. Manages VM hardware configuration→ Done via vSphere Client, not VMware Tools.

After successfully deploying theVCF Installer appliance, and ensuring ESXi hosts are powered on and meet prerequisites, thenext stepis to:

Launch the VCF Installer deployment wizard, which guides administrators through host onboarding, vCenter deployment, and cluster setup forvSphere Foundation.

Other options:

A. Enable SSH on all ESX hosts→ Not required unless troubleshooting.

C. Install SDDC Manager using VCF Installer→ Only applies to full Cloud Foundation, not vSphere Foundation deployment.

D. Manually deploy vCenter Server Appliance→ The Installer wizard automates this.

To configureVMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Operations for logsso that it can send notifications and metrics, administrators must use theIntegrations workflow inside VCF Operations.

You configure integrations centrally from theAdministration > Integrationspage in VCF Operations.

Here you add theVCF Operations for Logs data source, configure credentials, and set up Webhooks for alerts.

Once integration is completed, VCF Operations for Logs data can be consumed in VCF Operations dashboards and used for notifications and metrics.

This process is not launched directly from "VCF Operations for Logs," but rather fromVCF Operations itself, where all integrations (vCenter, vSAN, NSX, and Logs) are centrally managed.

Theprimary purpose of vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM)is to:

Update, patch, and upgrade ESXi hosts, firmware, and drivers.

Manage host consistency across clusters withimage-based lifecycle management.

Other options are unrelated:

A. Configure network settings→ Done through vCenter or host client, not vLCM.

B. Monitor performance→ Done in vCenter/VCF Operations, not vLCM.

C. Create/manage VMs→ Managed through vCenter, not vLCM.

WhenSupervisor is enabled:

It providesSupervisor Namespaces, which grant DevOps teamssecure, policy-based accessto vSphere resources (VMs, storage, networking) through Kubernetes tooling.

This enforcesboundaries and quotasfor compute/storage consumption.

Other options:

B. VM backup via ConfigMaps→ Not a feature of Supervisor.

C. vSphere Replication between namespaces→ Not a Supervisor function.

D. Granting administrator access to vCenter system namespace→ Violates least-privilege security.

To configureService Discovery for Linux Guest OSin VCF Operations using anon-root user:

Activate Service Discoveryin thevCenter instanceto start discovery operations. (B)

Enable Use Sudoin the Service Discovery instance so the non-root account can run necessary privileged commands. (E)

Other options:

A. Activate Use Sudo in vCenter instance→ Wrong, this is configured in Service Discovery.

C. Activate in NSX instance→ Not applicable; Service Discovery integrates with vCenter.

D. Deactivate Use Sudo→ Opposite of required security setting.

In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)Operations for Logs, clusters require aminimum of three healthy nodesto function in a fully active and resilient state. When a cluster is deployed with only two nodes (primary + one secondary), the environment does not meet the minimum recommended requirement. If thesecondary node fails, the cluster becomes degraded and functionality is reduced.

The correct remediation is:

Rebuild the failed secondary nodeso that the cluster can return to a healthy state.

After rebuilding, the node must be rejoined to the primary using theManagement → Clusterworkflow (secure token, IP/hostname of primary, etc.).

Why not the other options?

A. Scale up to Extra Large→❌Scaling up affects resource capacity (vCPU, RAM, disk) but does not solve the problem of missing nodes.

B. Scale up to Large→❌Same reason as above, scaling up does not restore HA.

D. Rebuild the secondary and add an additional node→❌While adding more nodes is a best practice (since HA clusters require three nodes), theminimum action requiredto restore a healthy active cluster is torebuild the failed node. Adding more nodes is optional for increased resiliency.

Therefore, the immediate and verified answer is torebuild the failed secondary node.

ForDisconnected mode licensingin vSphere Foundation:

Administrators must manuallyexport a registration file, upload it to theVCF Business Services console, and thenimport the license fileback into VCF Operations.

This process must be repeatedevery 180 daysto maintain license validity.

Other options:

A. Switch to Connected mode once every 365 days→ Incorrect; 180-day requirement.

C. License is perpetual→ Not correct; subscription-based license requires refresh.

D. Provide internet connection every 180 days→ Violates security restriction (Disconnected mode is required).
