VCP-410 Test Questions
o When you restore the standard switch, a new virtual adapter is created and the management network uplink that is currently connected to
vNetwork Distributed Switch is migrated to the new virtual switch.
o The software creates these partitions:
o One 4GB VFAT scratch partition for system swap.
o One VMFS3 partition on the remaining free space.
o The installer creates a 110MB
220 701 diagnostic partition for core dumps.
o The scratch partition is not required (but created by default during the installation). It is used to store vm-support output, which you need
when you create a support bundle.
o Lockdown mode prevents remote personnel from logging in to the ESXi host by using the root login name. By default, lockdown mode is
disabled.
o Resetting the configuration does not remove virtual machines on the ESXi host. After you reset the configuration defaults, the virtual
machines are not visible, but you can retrieve them by reconfiguring storage and reregistering the virtual machines.
o When you perform a configuration backup, the serial number is backed up with the configuration and is restored when you restore the
configuration. The serial number is not preserved when you run the Recovery CD (ESXi Embedded) or perform the repair operation (ESXi
Installable).
o When you restore the configuration, the target host must be in maintenance mode, which means all virtual machines (including the vSphere
CLI virtual appliance) must be powered off.
o Run the vicfg-cfgbackup command with the -s flag to save the host configuration to the specified backup filename.
o When you restore configuration data, the build number currently running on the host must be the same as the build number that was running
when you created the backup file. You can override this requirement by including the -f (force) flag with the vicfg-cfgbackup
command.
o Run the vicfg-cfgbackup command with the -l flag to load the host configuration from the specified backup file.
o You can restore the ESXi Installable software by running the ESXi installation CD in repair mode. All host configuration data is overwritten by
system defaults.
o During the repair operation, your existing ESXi 4.0 Installable VMFS datastore is preserved if it is in its original location on the ESXi 4.0 boot
disk, or if it is located on another 220 702 disk (separate from the boot disk). If you changed the VMFS location on the boot disk, it is preserved if it is
located beyond the 900MB partition.
vSphere upgrade guide
o When you upgrade from ESX 3.x/ESXi 3.5 to ESX 4.0/ESXi 4.0, you can use either the vSphere Host Update Utility or vCenter Update Manager.
o EDIT – you can also use the upgrade script (esxupgrade.sh – KB 1009440). VMware doesn’t mention the option of a fresh install at any point;
they are pushing the upgrade option as much as possible. You can’t seem to do an upgrade with the ESX4 install CD.
o Host Update Utility is used for upgrading ESX 3.x/ESXi 3.5 standalone hosts to ESX 4.0/ESXi 4.0 and for patching ESXi 4.0 standalone hosts. It is
a standalone Microsoft Windows application recommended for smaller deployments with fewer than 10 ESX/ESXi hosts, without vCenter
Server or Update Manager.
o vCenter Update Manager is for upgrading and updating ESX/ESXi hosts that are managed in vCenter Server.
o Orchestrated upgrades can be used to upgrade the VM hardware and VMware Tools.
o No VMFS upgrade is required if you are upgrading from ESX 3.x
o You must upgrade VMware Tools before upgrading virtual hardware.
o After you upgrade to vCenter Server, you cannot revert to VirtualCenter 2.x. Take appropriate backups before starting the upgrade.
o Upgrade VirtualCenter 2.x to vCenter Server 4.0:
o Make sure your database is compatible
o Have required permissions
o Take a full backup of 220 701 the VirtualCenter 2.x database
o Back up the VirtualCenter 2.x SSL certificates
o Install the vSphere Client
o vCenter Converter, upgrade
o vCenter Guided Consolidation upgrade
o Upgrade to vCenter Update Manager 4.0.
o Use vCenter Update Manager to upgrade ESX 3.x hosts to ESX 4.0. (or use host update utility)
o Use vCenter Update Manager to upgrade your VMs. vCenter Update Manager ensures that the VMware Tools upgrade and the virtual
hardware upgrade happen in the correct order
o Upgrade your product licenses
o ESX 2.x hosts cannot be added to clusters.
o Oracle 9i is no longer supported.
o Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is no longer supported.
o To Back Up VirtualCenter 2.x:
o Make a full backup of the VirtualCenter 2.x database.

o vNetwork Distributed Switch (dvSwitch) – functions as a single virtual switch across all associated hosts.
o dvPort (distributed virtual port) – a port on a DVS that connects to a host’s service console or VMkernel or to a VM’s network adapter.
o vApp – has the same basic operation as a VM, but can contain multiple VMs or appliances.
o Web Access cannot be used to access a host running ESXi 4.0.
o Web Access is turned off by default for ESX hosts.
Getting Started with ESX
o ESX Service Console is held in the esxconsole.vmdk partition.
o vCenter Server uses Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express for small deployments with up to 5 hosts and 50 VMs.
o If SQL Native Client is already VCP-410 study guide installed, uninstall SQL Native Client before you begin the vCenter Server installation.
o vCenter server must belong to a domain rather than a workgroup. Otherwise it’s not able to discover – using such features as vCenter Guided
Consolidation Service. The computer name cannot be more than 15 characters.
o vCenter Server cannot be an Active Directory domain controller.
o The Domain user account should have the following permissions:
o Member of the Administrators group
o Act as part of the operating system
o Log on as a service
ESX and vCenter server installation guide
o ESX4 will only install and run on servers with 64-bit x86 CPUs. They require a 2GB RAM minimum.
o vCenter Server must have 2 CPUs and 3GB RAM.
o The vCenter Server has a service called VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices. This service requires 128MB to 1.5GB of additional
memory.
o You can use a 32-bit Windows for up 200 hosts. A 64-bit Windows can have 200-300 hosts.
o The vSphere Client requires the Microsoft .NET 3.0 SP1 Framework.
o vCenter server required firewall ports:
Port Description
80 Redirects requests to HTTPS port 443.
389 LDAP port number for the Directory Services for the vCenter Server group. Needs to bind to port 389, even if you are not joining this
vCenter Server instance to a Linked Mode group.
443 Listen for connections from the vSphere Client.
636 For vCenter Linked Mode, this is the SSL port of the local instance
902 Uses to send data to managed hosts. VCP-410 questions Managed hosts also send a regular heartbeat over UDP port 902 to the vCenter
902/903 Ports used by vSphere Client to display VM consoles.
8080 Web Services HTTP. Used for the VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices.
8443 Web Services HTTPS. Used for the VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices.
o If ESX will not use an NTP server, make sure that the server hardware clock is set to UTC in the BIOS (EDIT: As a matter of best practice you
should always set ESX server’s hardware clocks to UTC)
o IPv6 is not supported for ESX installation
o The service console must be installed on a VMFS datastore that is resident on a host's local disk or on a SAN disk that is masked and zoned to
that particular host only.
