An administrator has just completed an update of an ESXi 5.x host. Prior to the upgrade, a backup
of the host configuration was performed. After the upgrade, the backup was restored to the
upgraded host. Shortly after the upgrade was completed, the administrator receives complaints
that users are unable to power on virtual machines.
What are the two most likely reasons that VMs cannot power up on this host? (Choose two.)
A.
The update reset the virtual machine reservations.
B.
It has been more than 60 days since the host was originally installed.
C.
Backup and restore does not include licensing.
D.
The backup was performed prior to a license key being applied.
Explanation:
When the host is 60 days old, the license will expire. You have to use a purchased license key to
keep it running. The backup performed prior to applying a license key will also restrict VMs from
powering up.
