Pass the VMware VCP-VVF Admin 2V0-16.25 Questions and answers with CertsForce

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.

To deploy theVCF Operations for Logs OVA appliance:

ThevSphere Clientis used to deploy.ovaand.ovftemplates directly into a vCenter environment.

After deployment, the appliance can be configured and integrated with VCF.

Other options:

A. VCF Fleet Management→ Used for multi-instance management, not OVA deployment.

C. VCF Automation→ Provides automation workflows, not appliance deployment.

D. VCF Operations→ Monitoring and analytics platform, not used for OVA installs.

Lockdown Modeon ESXi hosts is asecurity featurethat restrictsdirect loginto the ESXi host.

Once enabled, administrators must manage the host throughvCenter Serverinstead of direct DCUI/SSH access (except for exception users).

This prevents unauthorized local access and improves overall security compliance.

Other options:

A. Improves network performance→ Not related.

C. Increases CPU/memory for VMs→ Not related.

D. Simplifies VM management→ It actually makes direct management more restricted.

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 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.

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.

For an8-node vSAN OSA cluster, the administrator needs a storage policy that:

Tolerates2 host failures, and

Providesmaximum usable capacity.

RAID-5/6 (erasure coding)is more capacity-efficient than RAID-1 mirroring.

To tolerate2 failures, the correct policy isRAID-5 with FTT=2.

RAID-1 (mirroring) would consume far more capacity, reducing usable space.

Other options:

A. 1 failure - RAID-1→ Only tolerates one failure.

C. 3 failures - RAID-1→ Provides higher resilience but uses much more capacity, not maximum efficiency.

D. 1 failure - RAID-5→ Tolerates only one failure.

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, when monitoring metrics like CPU demand across ESX hosts, includinghistorical usage and forecast data, the best visualization is aTrend view.

Trend viewsdisplay data over time, showing both past and predicted future behavior.

This makes them ideal forcapacity planning, performance forecasting, and demand analysis.

Table (A)→ Shows raw values but lacks predictive visualization.

Distribution (B)→ Useful for comparing values across objects but not for time-based or forecasted trends.

Text (C)→ Displays static values or metrics, not historical/forecasting data.
