01. Installation of CAS on a new host has completed and the server has been rebooted. The administrator confirms the boot order lists the local disks first. At the next restart the server boots into the installer again.
What was missed?
a) The platform license was not registered before the trial period elapsed
b) The host's firmware was not updated to a level the platform supports
c) The installation image was left attached to the console's virtual media
d) The management network address was configured on the wrong interface
02. A storage team that once used single-parity arrays now specifies dual parity for the same workloads, although the disk count has not changed.
What drove that shift?
a) Dual parity became faster to write than single parity as controllers improved
b) Individual disks became far larger, so a rebuild now runs long enough for a second failure to be a real risk
c) Dual parity now yields more usable capacity than single parity from the same disks, and costs no more to write
d) Single parity was found not to survive any disk failure at all
03. What does grouping virtual machines into a resource pool achieve?
(Choose two.)
a) The machines in the group are excluded from dynamic resource scheduling
b) Capacity can be divided between groups, so one group's demand does not consume another's entitlement
c) Limits, reservations and shares can be applied to the whole group rather than machine by machine
d) The machines in the group are placed on the same hosts as one another
04. Why is a virtual machine's identity, such as its host name and address, normally reconfigured after it is cloned?
a) The copy carries the source's identity, so two machines would claim the same name or address
b) The platform blocks a cloned machine from starting until its identity is changed
c) The clone cannot obtain an address by DHCP until it is reconfigured
d) The platform assigns the clone the same virtual network adapter address or host name as the source
05. An administrator wants a set of development machines to be powered off outside working hours to release capacity.
Which platform capability supports this directly?
a) Snapshots taken at the end of each working day
b) A resource limit capping what they consume overnight
c) Dynamic resource scheduling rebalancing them onto fewer hosts
d) Scheduled power operations, so the selected machines may be stopped outside working hours
06. A virtual machine was deleted in error two days ago and the team wants it back.
What determines whether that is possible?
a) Whether the recycle bin's retention period has elapsed
b) Whether the machine's disks were thin-provisioned
c) Whether HA was enabled for the machine at the time
d) Whether a template was created from the machine at some point before it was deleted
07. Two virtual machines form a redundant pair for one service, and the operations team wants them never to run on the same host.
Which mechanism enforces this?
a) A resource reservation guaranteeing each machine its own capacity
b) An affinity rule binding the two machines to the same host
c) An anti-affinity rule, so the two machines may never share a host
d) A resource quota limiting what the pair consume in total
08. Which statements about hot-adding resources to a running virtual machine are correct?
(Choose two.)
a) The guest operating system must support the operation before it can use the new resource
b) A resource reservation must already exist for the machine being enlarged
c) The host must have the capacity free at the moment the change is made
d) The machine must be suspended briefly while the new configuration is applied
09. A CAS management server is being specified for an environment expected to grow to around 200 managed hosts.
What does the official installation guidance say about its sizing?
a) Sizing follows the number of virtual machines rather than the number of hosts
b) One specification serves an estate of any size, the management component's load not varying with the host count
c) The management server must match the specification of the virtualization hosts it manages
d) Requirements scale with the number of hosts managed, so a large estate needs a substantially larger management server
10. Monitoring produces so many alarms that operators have begun ignoring them, and a genuine storage warning was missed.
Which maintenance action addresses this?
a) Increase the monitoring interval so that fewer samples are taken and fewer alarms are generated
b) Route all alarms to a mailbox reviewed once a week
c) Review the alarm thresholds against what actually needs action
d) Turn off the alarm categories that fire most often
