Sample Questions — VMware VCAP-DCV Deploy 3V0-21.21

5 free sample questions from this practice exam. Correct answers are highlighted.

1. An administrator is deploying ESXi 8.0 hosts using Auto Deploy. The hosts need to boot from a stateless configuration with a custom image that includes a third-party driver VIB. Which sequence of steps correctly implements this requirement?

A Apply host profiles to the cluster, create the image profile, export to ISO, and boot hosts from the ISO
B Add the VIB to a software depot, create an image profile with Image Builder, create and activate a deploy rule, then PXE boot hosts ✓ Correct
C Create a kickstart script referencing the third-party VIB, mount the ISO on each host, and run a scripted installation
D Import the VIB as an OVA into vCenter, create a deploy rule mapping the OVA to the target hosts, and reboot

2. An administrator is configuring vCenter Server 8.0 with Enhanced Linked Mode across two sites. After joining the second VCSA to the SSO domain, the administrator notices that inventory objects from Site A are not visible in Site B's vSphere Client. What is the most likely cause?

A SSO replication between the two sites has not completed and requires manual synchronization
B The user account does not have sufficient permissions assigned on the Site A vCenter Server ✓ Correct
C The two vCenter Servers do not share a common datastore required for inventory synchronization
D The vSphere Client on Site B needs to be updated to a version that supports cross-site inventory views

3. An administrator is configuring vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) recommendations for a cluster. After setting up the cluster image, the recommendation engine suggests removing a component. The administrator wants to understand why. What does a vLCM recommendation to remove a component typically indicate?

A The component conflicts with another component or is superseded by a newer version in the base image ✓ Correct
B The component's vendor license has expired and vLCM cannot validate its authenticity
C The component has not been used by any host in the cluster for more than 30 days
D The vLCM depot is running low on storage space and less critical components should be removed

4. An administrator needs to upgrade vCenter Server Appliance from version 7.0 U3 to 8.0 U2 using the GUI installer. During Stage 2 of the migration-based upgrade, the process fails with an error indicating insufficient disk space on the target appliance. What should the administrator do to resolve this issue?

A Delete the failed target appliance, redeploy Stage 1 selecting a larger storage size, then rerun Stage 2 ✓ Correct
B Add additional virtual disks to the target appliance and extend the partitions manually before retrying Stage 2
C Clear the /var/log and /tmp directories on the source vCenter to reduce migration payload size
D Switch to the CLI installer and specify a custom disk partition layout during the upgrade

5. An administrator is configuring host profiles for a cluster with 20 hosts. The host profile includes a syslog configuration that sends logs to a central syslog server. After remediation, five hosts fail compliance. The error indicates the syslog firewall rule is not enabled. What should the administrator do?

A Edit the host profile to include the syslog firewall rule in the security configuration section, then remediate again ✓ Correct
B SSH into each non-compliant host and manually enable the syslog firewall rule using esxcli
C Disable the ESXi firewall entirely on all hosts to allow unrestricted syslog traffic
D Remove the syslog configuration from the host profile and re-add it, which will automatically include the firewall rule
