75.An administrator logged into NSX Manager to view host details. The administrator noticed that the "Tunnel" status for the ESXi hosts, in the VI workload domain, is showing down. What is a possible reason the ESXi host tunnels are showing down in NSX? A. The IGMP has been disabled on the network. B. The MTU setting for the host TEPs has been set to 1500. C. The host TEP IP addresses are being dynamically assigned through DHCP instead of being statically assigned. D. The overlay traffic is being blocked by the gateway firewall. Answer: B Explanation: The "Tunnel" status in NSX indicates the status of the VXLAN tunnels used for communication between ESXi hosts. If the MTU setting for the host Tunnel Endpoint (TEP) is incorrectly set to 1500, this can cause issues with VXLAN encapsulation, as VXLAN packets typically require an MTU of at least 1600 bytes to function correctly. Setting the MTU too low can cause packet drops and result in the tunnel status being down.
76.What is the first step to take when updating the vSAN database in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment? A. Place the vSAN cluster in maintenance mode
B. Download the latest HCL database from VMware C. Check the VMware Compatibility Guide for supported versions D. Backup the vSAN database Answer: D Explanation: The first step when updating the vSAN database (or performing any update to the vSAN environment) is to back up the vSAN database. This ensures that if any issues arise during the update process, the administrator can restore the environment to a previous state. This step is crucial to ensure data protection and prevent data loss.

77.An IT team needs to ensure compliance and security for various database workloads managed by Data Services Manager. Which three features of Data Services Manager should be leveraged to achieve this? (Choose three.) A. Automated patch management for database instances. B. Integration with NSX for network security policies. C. Encryption of data at rest and in transit. D. Role-based access control (RBAC) to restrict database access. E. vSphere DRS for resource scheduling. Answer: A, C, D Explanation: Automated patch management ensures that database instances are kept up-to-date with the latest patches, which is essential for maintaining compliance and security. Encryption of data at rest and in transit helps protect sensitive database data from unauthorized access and tampering, ensuring compliance with security standards. Role-based access control (RBAC) restricts database access based on user roles, ensuring that only authorized users have access to sensitive data, which is crucial for compliance and security.

78.An administrator needs to deploy a Kubernetes cluster on a vSphere IaaS control plane (formerly vSphere with Tanzu) to host a new application. Which three steps should be followed to successfully deploy the Kubernetes cluster? (Choose three.) A. Configure a Load Balancer for the Kubernetes control plane nodes. B. Create a new VM template for the Kubernetes nodes. C. Configure a vSphere Namespace and assign resource quotas. D. Enable Workload Management on the vSphere Cluster. E., Deploy a vSphere Pod Service. Answer: A, C, D Explanation: A Load Balancer is needed for the Kubernetes control plane nodes to distribute traffic
across the control plane and ensure high availability for the Kubernetes management layer. A vSphere Namespace must be configured to define a logical boundary for Kubernetes workloads, and resource quotas help ensure that resources are allocated appropriately for the workloads. Enabling Workload Management on the vSphere Cluster is necessary to integrate Kubernetes with vSphere and manage the lifecycle of Kubernetes clusters using vSphere with Tanzu.
