   What is a common pitfall of leaving a snapshot in place for an extended period?

   • AThe snapshot will automatically consolidate after a set time, causing data loss.
   • BThe delta disk can grow large, consuming storage space and potentially degrading performance.
   • CThe snapshot will be automatically deleted when the datastore runs out of space.
   • DThe virtual machine will become read-only to prevent further changes.

   A vSphere administrator reviews the VMware Skyline dashboard and sees a finding that indicates a specific ESXi host has a known driver issue that could cause a performance degradation under heavy I/O load. The administrator also sees a finding that a VM snapshot is over 30 days old. Which finding should the administrator address first?

   • ABoth findings simultaneously, because they are equally important.
   • BThe snapshot, because it is a simple fix and will immediately improve performance.
   • CNeither, because Skyline findings are only informational and do not require action.
   • DThe driver issue, because it could cause a performance degradation or even a host failure under load.

   A vSphere administrator needs to perform a backup of a VM using a backup solution that leverages VMware snapshots. The VM is a critical production server with high I/O activity. What is the best practice to minimize the performance impact of the snapshot-based backup?

   • ASchedule the backup during a maintenance window when I/O activity is low.
   • BIncrease the VM's memory to compensate for the snapshot overhead.
   • CUse a storage-level snapshot instead of a VM snapshot to avoid any performance impact.
   • DTake a snapshot and leave it in place for a week to ensure the backup is complete.

   A vSphere administrator wants to use VMware Skyline to proactively manage the environment. The administrator has connected vCenter Server to Skyline and wants to understand how to use the findings. What is the recommended approach to prioritize actions based on Skyline findings?

   • AFocus on findings that are marked as 'Critical' or 'High' risk and have a high potential impact on performance or availability.
   • BIgnore findings that are not related to performance, as they are not important.
   • CWait for VMware support to contact you about the findings.
   • DAddress findings in the order they are listed, from top to bottom.
