An administrator has deployed a vCenter Server Appliance to manage a virtual environment.
The administrator has been asked to develop a plan for handling major upgrades to the application.
What should be included in the upgrade plan?
Answer : B
Explanation: Page 131 of vsphere-update-manager-50-install-administration-guide.pdf
NOTE -
Update Manager 5.0 does not support virtual machine patch baselines.
If a host is connected to vCenter Server by using an IPv6 address, you cannot scan and remediate virtual machines and virtual appliances that run on the host.
Remediation of VMware vCenter Server Appliance is not supported. For more information about upgrading the virtual appliance, see the vCenter Server upgrade documentation.
Page 56 of vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-upgrade-guide.pdf
Upgrade the VMware vCenter Server Appliance
Because the VMware vCenter Server Appliance was first released with vSphere 5.0, upgrading the appliance is not required until a future release. This information helps you plan for futureupgrades.
Procedure -
1. Deploy the new version of the vCenter Server Appliance. The new appliance has a default network configuration, and the vCenter Server service is unconfigured and disabled.
2. Connect to both the old and new appliances in separate browser windows.
3. In the Upgrade tab of the new appliance, select destination for the appliance role, and click Set role.
4. In the Upgrade tab of the old appliance, select source for the appliance role, and click
Set role.
5. In each appliance, click Establish Trust. The local appliance key appears.
6. In the new appliance, copy the local appliance key.
7. Paste the local appliance key into the Remote appliance key field of the old appliance.
8. Click Import remote key in the old appliance.
9. In the old appliance, copy the local appliance key.
10. Paste the local appliance key into the Remote appliance key field of the new appliance.
11. Click Import remote key in the new appliance.
12. In the new appliance, click Import, and click Start import.
The newappliance shuts down the old appliance and assumes the network identity of the old appliance. This process can take several minutes. When the import is complete, the new vCenter Server Appliance starts.

Click the Exhibit button.
10 ESXi 5.x hosts will be installed as part of a vSphere 5.x deployment. Security hardening is required as part of the installation. The current security profile is displayed in the exhibit.
Which three services shownin the exhibit are configured to run by default in a completed vSphere installation? (Choose three.)
Answer : A,D,E
Explanation:
Since Security hardening is required, network login server, direct console UI and vpxa will be run by default.
For security reasons, an administrator removes a user from the Active Directory domain used by all ESXi hosts for authentication. At the time the user is removed they are actively logged into an ESXi 5.x host through the vSphere Client.
What is true regarding this scenario?
Answer : C
Explanation: You can remove a user from the host.
Userswho are logged in and are removed from the domain keep their host permissions until you restart the host.
To remove users from vCenter Server, you must remove them from the domain or Active
Directory users list.
Users who are logged in and are removed from the domain keep their vSphere permissions until the next validation period. The default is every 24 hours.
