2V0-21.23 Question 252
Select 3You are configuring a host to use Quick Boot in your vSphere environment to optimize host reboot times. While testing, you notice that the Quick Boot feature is not functioning as expected. Which of the following steps should you take to ensure Quick Boot works properly on the host?
- A
Verify that the host is running on a supported hardware platform for Quick Boot.
- B
Ensure that the ESXi version running on the host supports Quick Boot.
- C
Check if Secure Boot is enabled on the host, as it is required for Quick Boot.
- D
Confirm that no third-party VIBs (vSphere Installation Bundles) are installed on the host.
- E
Verify that the host leverages UEFI firmware instead of legacy BIOS.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
Quick Boot is designed to optimize host reboot times by skipping the hardware initialization process, but it has specific requirements for hardware, ESXi version, and firmware. Ensuring the host runs on supported hardware, uses a compatible ESXi version, and leverages UEFI firmware are critical steps to enable Quick Boot successfully. Secure Boot and the presence of third-party VIBs do not directly impact Quick Boot functionality.
- A. Correct.
Quick Boot is supported only on specific hardware platforms. If the hardware is unsupported, Quick Boot will not function.
- B. Correct.
Quick Boot requires a specific version of ESXi. If the host is running an unsupported ESXi version, Quick Boot will fail.
- C. Incorrect.
Secure Boot is not a requirement for Quick Boot. This is incorrect.
- D. Incorrect.
Quick Boot supports third-party VIBs unless they conflict with the Quick Boot process. Therefore, this is not always required.
- E. Correct.
UEFI firmware is a requirement for Quick Boot. If the host uses legacy BIOS, Quick Boot will not work.
