C. The -d switch is the delay between statistics snapshots, and the -n switch is used to specify the number of iterations. Option C will perform 60 iterations at 2-second intervals, captuing 2 minutes of data.
- You created a vCenter Server alarm at the root vCenter Server level to monitor a single virtual machine for the snapshot space used. You are now getting warnings from several VMs. What is the best way to solve this problem?
A. Re-create the rule at the virtual machine object level.
B. Exclude the virtual machines you don’t want to see from the rule.
C. Move the rule to the host level.
D. None of these.
A. Alarms are inherited down the chain of inventory objects, so the only way to solve this problem is to re-create the alarm at the VM object level.

A. CPU.
B. Network.
C. Disk.
D. There is no problem.
B. %DRPRX indicates that network receive packets are being dropped. This is a likely indicator of a network problem.

A. DAVG/cmd
B. GAVG/cmd
C. KAVG/cmd
D. None of these
A. The DAVG/cmd metric is the average amount of time in milliseconds a device takes to service a single I/O request. The device includes the vmhba, the storage device, and any devices between.

A. Host hardware power supply failure
B. Host hardware NIC failure
C. Host hardware memory failure
D. Host hardware Fiber Channel HBA failure

A. Cloning a VM
B. Migrating a VM
C. Adding a host
D. Deleting a VM
A, B and C. Cloning a virtual machine, migrating a virtual machine, and adding a host are all tasks that can be scheduled in vCenter Server. There is no scheduled task to delete virtual machines.
- You created a vCenter Server alarm with multiple trigger types and an action to send email. One of the triggers should have fired by now, but you have not received any emails. You are receiving emails from other alarms. Which of the following is most likely the reason?

B. The Trigger If Any Of The Conditions Are Satisfied option was used.
C. SMTP is not configured in the vCenter Server settings.
D. Alarms cannot have multiple trigger types.
A. If the Trigger If All Of The Conditions Are Satisfied option is used, then each trigger type must have the condition met before the trigger will fire. Remember that the more trigger types that are added, the more complex the alarm becomes.
