An administrator has been tasked with upgrading an existing host from ESX 4.1 to ESXi 5.x. The
existing host has only vSwitch0 with all the default settings.
The upgraded host will have the following new requirements:
1. 116 virtual machines will be connected.
2. Four uplinks configured for port-based load balancing.
3. The switch will include a secondary heartbeat network for HA.
Which two statements are true about this configuration? (Choose two.)
A.
The Service Console Port will be removed during the upgrade
B.
The configuration requires only one VMkernel Port
C.
The default vSwitch0 is sufficient for this configuration
D.
A change to vSwitch0 Properties is required
Explanation:
VMware has removed the service console port group with the release of vSphere 5. You can
execute the same command, which you used to do on vSphere 4 service console using vMA, CLI
and PowerCLI.
It would be nice if the explanation included the reason that D is an answer. Why is a change to vSwitch0 Properties required? I’m assuming because of the secondary heartbeat network for HA, but the explanation does not include that. I’m certainly interested if there is a different reason.
