VMware Certified Professional - VMware vSphere Foundation Administrator Practice Exam 2025: Latest Questions

An administrator wants to manage multiple ESXi hosts from a single interface and enable cluster features such as DRS and vSphere HA. Which component should be deployed to meet this requirement?

A virtual machine needs direct access to a physical GPU installed in an ESXi host for compute workloads. Which configuration is most appropriate?

After deploying a new ESXi host, the administrator can ping the host's management IP but cannot connect using the vSphere Client. Which action is the most likely fix?

A VM intermittently reports high CPU ready time and users experience sluggish performance. The cluster is not overcommitted on memory. Which metric most directly indicates CPU contention on the host?

An administrator needs to grant a helpdesk group permission to power on/off VMs and open the VM console, but prevent them from changing host networking or datastores. What is the recommended approach?

A VM is running on a datastore that is nearly full, causing snapshot consolidations to fail. The administrator must reduce the risk of VM pause/stun due to lack of space. Which action is best?

A security policy requires that only encrypted connections are used for management access to ESXi. Which configuration best supports this requirement?

A cluster uses vSphere HA. One host shows an alarm indicating it has no HA heartbeat datastore available. Networking is healthy. What is the most likely cause?

A company wants to reduce the operational effort of patching ESXi hosts and ensure hosts remain compliant with an approved baseline, while minimizing VM downtime. Which approach is most appropriate?

An administrator wants to ensure that if a host fails, there is guaranteed capacity to restart all protected VMs on remaining hosts in the cluster. Which vSphere HA feature directly enforces this capacity guarantee?

An administrator wants all ESXi hosts in a cluster to have a consistent VMkernel port group configuration for vMotion. Which approach is the most efficient and scalable?

A VM has unusually high disk latency reported in performance charts. The datastore and storage array show normal performance for other VMs. Which metric is most useful to determine whether the VM is experiencing storage queue congestion on the ESXi host?

You need to restrict a helpdesk role so they can power on/off virtual machines but cannot modify virtual hardware or delete VMs. Where should permissions be applied for least privilege while still supporting their tasks?

A company wants to ensure VMs automatically restart on other hosts after an ESXi host failure. Which vSphere feature provides this capability?

An administrator is adding a new ESXi host to vCenter. The host shows as 'Not Responding' shortly after being added, but the management network is reachable via ping. What is the most likely cause?

An administrator must ensure a critical VM always receives sufficient CPU during contention, without preventing it from using additional CPU when available. Which resource management setting best meets this requirement?

A security team requires that administrators cannot directly log in to ESXi hosts using the root account, but administrators must still manage hosts through vCenter. What is the best practice approach?

You are troubleshooting intermittent VM connectivity issues. A VM connected to a port group on a vSphere Distributed Switch can reach some networks but not others. Other VMs on the same port group work fine. Which is the best next step to isolate whether the issue is within the VM or the vSphere network configuration?

A team wants to standardize VM deployment so that new VMs always include the same OS settings and configuration. Which vSphere feature best supports this requirement?

A cluster uses vSphere HA. During a host failure test, several VMs do not restart because the cluster reports insufficient failover resources. The administrator still wants to protect the most critical VMs first when resources are constrained. What should be configured?

An administrator is deploying a new ESXi host and wants to verify which ESXi services are required for the host to be managed by vCenter Server. Which service is essential for vCenter-to-host management operations such as configuration changes and VM lifecycle actions?

A vSphere administrator wants to ensure that new virtual machines automatically inherit consistent port group assignments and network settings across all hosts in a cluster. Which approach is most appropriate?

A virtual machine is experiencing poor performance during peak hours. The administrator suspects CPU contention on the host. Which metric in vSphere is the most direct indicator that the VM is ready to run but waiting because physical CPU resources are not available?

A company requires that only specific administrators can power off or take snapshots of a group of production VMs, while still allowing the help desk to view VM consoles and power on VMs. What is the recommended way to meet this requirement?

A VM cannot be migrated with vMotion. The task fails with a compatibility message indicating the VM is using a device that prevents live migration. Which VM configuration is most likely to block vMotion in a typical environment?
