Question 10 of 27

1

After installation of a host in your test environment, you need to move it to production. The only major change that needs to be made is that the hostname of the server needs to change.
What are two ways that an administrator can change the host name without editing configuration files on the host directly? (Choose two.)

Select one or more of the following:

Question 11 of 27

1

You are editing the management network configuration of an ESXi 6.x Host from the vSphere Web Client. You mistakenly put the incorrect VLAN in place for the management network. What action do you need to take to correct this?

Select one of the following:

  • You need to manually edit the configuration on the host with command line utilities.

  • No action is required. By default ESXi rolls back configuration changes that disconnect the host.

  • The ESXi host system configuration will need to be restored to the factory configuration to fix the issue

  • The change can be reverted in the vSphere Web Client by simply editing the switch again.

Explanation

Question 12 of 27
