Your team is experiencing intermittent issues with esxi0la and you have been asked to configure the host to export its syslog data to a preconfigured syslog collector.
To complete this task, you must:
• Configure esxi0la.vciass.local to send syslog events to an external syslog collector on 172.20.10.10.
• Ensure that the ESXi host security policies allow the syslog traffic to pass.
You have been asked to create a new datastore for the Production cluster; however, the ESXi host esxi02a is not able to add the datastore. Your storage team has determined that there is nothing incorrect with the storage presentation.
Troubleshoot why host esxi02a is not able to create the datastore. Add the datastore to the host once the proper configuration has been applied, and then reboot the host!
Use the following information to complete this task;
• ESXi host: esxi02a
• Datastore Name: new_datastore
• Datastore target: iSCSI Target
• Datastore LUN: 4
• Reboot the host
The IT Team recently implemented a Unified Communication Service to provide conferencing for the organization. The UCS Application server is running from a virtual machine named VM1-UCS. Due to the nature of the UCS. the traffic for VM1-UCS has a higher Class of Service (CoS) demand.
In order to meet demand bandwidth for VM1 hosting the UCS. you been have given the task to improve performance by isolating the traffic and configuring CoS for this VM.
Your first task is to connect VM1-UCS to the distributed port group. UCS-Portgroup.
Your second task is to tag and mark the traffic for VM1-UCS with the following parameters:
• Name: UCS Network Traffic
• CoS Value: 4
• DSCP Value: 34
• Traffic Direction: Ingress/Egress
• Traffic Qualifier: System Traffic - Virtual Machine
The IT Team noticed that some of the parameter where not available on the distributed switch. Troubleshoot why these settings are missing and fix it.
Due to budget constraints, the development team must place its virtual machines on the same ESXi hosts as the production virtual machines. In order to prevent resource contention caused by the development workload, you must limit their resources.
On Cluster PROD-A create a resource pool under this cluster for future development VMs. Create a 4 GHz CPU limit and a 256 MB memory limit
• Cluster Name: PROD-A
• Resource Pool Name: DevRP
• CPU Limit: 4 GHz
• Memory Limit: 256 MB
The security team has decided to follow the VMware-recommended best practices in the vSphere hardening guide.
esxi02b:
Your first task is to create a local user in esxi02b:
• Name: SpecialUser
• Role: Administrator
Your second task is to ensure that SpecialUser is the ONLY user who is able to SSH into esxi02b via Putty.
Your final task is to enforce a strict lockdown on esxi02b.
