A server administrator is tasked with deploying a new virtual machine on a hypervisor that runs directly on the physical server hardware without a host operating system. The administrator must create the VM, configure its virtual hardware, and then install a guest operating system. Which of the following describes the correct sequence of actions for this task?

Install the host OS, then use its virtualization tools to create the VM and install the guest OS

Use the hypervisor's management interface to create the VM, configure virtual hardware, then attach installation media and boot the VM to install the guest OS

Deploy a template from a library, which automatically installs the guest OS without any further configuration

Create the VM in a cloud management portal, then migrate it to the local hypervisor

A server administrator is planning the initial deployment of several virtual machines on a new virtualization host. The administrator needs to ensure that each VM receives a guaranteed minimum amount of CPU processing time, even when other VMs on the same host are heavily loaded. Which resource allocation method is designed to provide this guarantee?

Assigning a fixed number of virtual CPUs to each VM

Enabling CPU hot-add on each VM

Setting a CPU reservation on each VM

A company uses a SAN for storage in its virtualized environment. The administrator wants to implement a disaster recovery solution that replicates VMs to a secondary site. The SAN supports snapshots and replication. The administrator needs to ensure that the replication does not impact the performance of the production VMs. Which approach should the administrator use?

Use a combination of SAN-based replication and hypervisor-based replication for redundancy.

Take nightly snapshots and copy them to the secondary site.

Use hypervisor-based replication, which is simpler but may consume CPU and network resources on the host.

Use SAN-based replication, which offloads replication from the hypervisor and can be scheduled during off-peak hours.

What is the purpose of a storage virtual machine (SVM) or virtual storage appliance?

To replace the hypervisor for running VMs

To manage physical network switches

To provide a backup of the host's BIOS

To provide storage services (such as NFS or iSCSI) to virtual machines

What is a primary advantage of using virtualization for disaster recovery?

Virtual machines are immune to hardware failures

Virtual machines do not require backups

Virtual machines automatically replicate to the cloud without configuration

Virtual machines can be backed up and restored more easily than physical servers
