Free Practice Questions for VMware 2V0-16.25 Exam

TheVCF Operations for Logs capabilitymost useful forroot cause analysis and troubleshootingisLog Querying.

Allows searching, filtering, and correlating log events to diagnose issues.

Log Forwarding (A)→ Sends logs elsewhere, not analysis.

Alerting (B)→ Notifies about issues but does not provide investigation details.

Dashboarding (C)→ Provides visualization, but root cause analysis requiresqueries.

Thet-shirt sizing model(Small, Medium, Large) forvCPU allocationis an example ofslab-based pricing.

Base rate slabsallow administrators to define different ranges (slabs) of resource usage with associated rates.

In this case, vCPUs are grouped into ranges (1–2, 3–4, 5–8), and charges are applied per slab.

Other options:

A. Base rate storage per GB→ Applies to storage, not CPU.

C. Base rate CPU per GHz→ Charges by GHz usage, not vCPU count.

D. Base rate CPU per vCPU→ Flat per vCPU, no slab/tier-based flexibility.

InVCF Operations for Logs(formerly vRealize Log Insight):

ThePrimary Nodeis responsible forcoordinating the overall functioning of the cluster, including configuration management and directing traffic.

Worker/Data Nodeshandle log ingestion and query execution.

Replica Nodeprovides HA for the Primary Node but does not act as the main coordinator.

To ensurecompromised users cannot access vCenter resources:

Assign theNo Accessrole at the vCenter level.

Enable propagationso this restriction applies to all child objects.

This guaranteeszero permissionsfor SUSPECT_USERS.

Other options:

B. Administrator with uncheck propagate→ Still gives dangerous access at root level.

C. Disconnect Active Directory→ Disrupts all AD users, not just suspect ones.

D. Read-only role→ Still grants access, not acceptable during investigation.

To allow a Content Library in vSphere Foundation to be accessed byother vCenter Server instances, it must bepublished.

Once published, other vCenters cansubscribeto the library.

Synchronization ensures subscribed vCenters receive updated templates and ISOs.

Other options:

A. Automatic synchronization→ Works only for subscribers, not for publishing.

B. Store on vSAN datastore→ Storage choice does not enable multi-vCenter access.

C. Store on NFS datastore→ Similar, datastore type does not matter.

ForvSAN ESA (Express Storage Architecture), minimum requirements differ from OSA:

25GbE NICsare required to handle high-performance traffic. (C)

NVMe PCIe flash devicesmust be used for storage. (D)

128GB Memory minimumper host is required. (F)

Other options:

A. 10GbE→ Only supported in vSAN OSA, not ESA.

B. 256GB Memory→ Recommended for large workloads, not minimum.

E. SAS SSDs→ Not supported in ESA; NVMe required.

TheVCF Operations Orchestrator Plug-in for VMware vSphere Web Clientallows orchestration workflows directly in the vSphere Client.

However,only one vSphere instance can be integratedat a time with the vSphere Client via this plug-in.

This limitation ensures a consistent, single orchestration endpoint per vSphere Client environment.

Other options (8, 10, 15) apply to scaling of vCenter or data sources but not to the Orchestrator Plug-in integration.

In avSAN Original Storage Architecture (OSA)cluster, the choice of storage policy directly impacts storage efficiency and resilience:

Current Setup:

Eight-node cluster, 1 disk group per node.

VMs are usingFTT=1 RAID-1 (mirroring)policy.

Storage utilization is already at70%.

RAID-1 (Mirroring):

Each piece of data is mirrored, requiring2x storage capacity.

Space efficiency ~50%.

RAID-6 (Erasure Coding, FTT=2):

Requires a minimum of6 hosts, satisfied here with 8.

Uses erasure coding instead of full mirroring, giving ~67% space efficiency.

Provides resilience against2 host failureswhile using less space than RAID-1.

Thus, switching fromRAID-1 FTT=1toRAID-6 FTT=2reduces overall storage utilization while still improving resilience.

Why not the other options?

A. Enable Deduplication and Compression→❌In OSA, enabling this requires acluster-wide disk group reformat, which is disruptive and not the minimal impact choice.

B. Change policy to 3 failure - RAID-1→❌Increases redundancy but consumesmuch more capacity, worsening utilization.

C. Enable Compression only→❌Not available in OSA (only in ESA). OSA supportsdeduplication + compression together, not compression-only.

D. Change to 2 failure - RAID-6→✅Meets resilience requirements,reduces storage usage, and is supported on 8-node OSA clusters.

VCF Operations requires that custom SSL certificates meet these requirements:

Certificates and private key must be inPEM format. (A)

Theserver certificate must be listed firstin the file. (D)

The file must include theserver certificate, private key, and full certificate chain(issuing/intermediate/root CA). (E)

Why others are wrong:

B. Server certificate last→ Incorrect, it must be first.

C. Cannot use SAN extension→ Incorrect, SAN is supported and recommended.

F. PFX format→ Not supported for VCF Operations.
