2V0-16.25 Exam Dumps - VMware VCP-VVF Admin Questions and Answers

The security team requiresvisibility into vCenter configurationsbut must not make changes.

Best practice is tocreate an Active Directory or vCenter group, add the security users, and assign them theRead-Only roleat thedatacenter/cluster/networklevel.

This ensures each user logs in with unique credentials, maintaining accountability.

Why others are incorrect:

A. Share administrator@vsphere.local password→ Violates security best practices.

B. Create a single user and share credentials→ Still insecure, lacks unique audit trails.

C. Assign Network Administrator role→ Grants configuration permissions, not allowed.

VCF Operations requires that custom SSL certificates meet these requirements:

Certificates and private key must be inPEM format. (A)

Theserver certificate must be listed firstin the file. (D)

The file must include theserver certificate, private key, and full certificate chain(issuing/intermediate/root CA). (E)

Why others are wrong:

B. Server certificate last→ Incorrect, it must be first.

C. Cannot use SAN extension→ Incorrect, SAN is supported and recommended.

F. PFX format→ Not supported for VCF Operations.

In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)Operations for Logs, clusters require aminimum of three healthy nodesto function in a fully active and resilient state. When a cluster is deployed with only two nodes (primary + one secondary), the environment does not meet the minimum recommended requirement. If thesecondary node fails, the cluster becomes degraded and functionality is reduced.

The correct remediation is:

Rebuild the failed secondary nodeso that the cluster can return to a healthy state.

After rebuilding, the node must be rejoined to the primary using theManagement → Clusterworkflow (secure token, IP/hostname of primary, etc.).

Why not the other options?

A. Scale up to Extra Large→❌Scaling up affects resource capacity (vCPU, RAM, disk) but does not solve the problem of missing nodes.

B. Scale up to Large→❌Same reason as above, scaling up does not restore HA.

D. Rebuild the secondary and add an additional node→❌While adding more nodes is a best practice (since HA clusters require three nodes), theminimum action requiredto restore a healthy active cluster is torebuild the failed node. Adding more nodes is optional for increased resiliency.

Therefore, the immediate and verified answer is torebuild the failed secondary node.

InVCF Operations for Logs, administrators can analyze logs using queries, fields, and charts. A key feature is the ability toview the value range of a specific field.

When a log query is executed, results appear in theEvents table.

Each field shown in the Events table is interactive.

Byclicking on a field in the Events table, administrators can drill down into the data tovisualize its value distribution (range), typically in the form of a histogram or grouped data set.

This provides insight intowhat values are present and how frequently they occur, which is useful for troubleshooting, anomaly detection, and refining queries.

Why not the other options?

A. Click the pencil in the Manage Fields pane→ Used toedit or extract fields, not visualize ranges.

C. Click on the field in Manage Fields→ Displays field definitions and settings, not real-time value ranges.

D. Click on the field in the Field Table→ The Field Table lists defined fields but does not provide value range visualization.

Thet-shirt sizing model(Small, Medium, Large) forvCPU allocationis an example ofslab-based pricing.

Base rate slabsallow administrators to define different ranges (slabs) of resource usage with associated rates.

In this case, vCPUs are grouped into ranges (1–2, 3–4, 5–8), and charges are applied per slab.

Other options:

A. Base rate storage per GB→ Applies to storage, not CPU.

C. Base rate CPU per GHz→ Charges by GHz usage, not vCPU count.

D. Base rate CPU per vCPU→ Flat per vCPU, no slab/tier-based flexibility.

Theprimary purpose of vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM)is to:

Update, patch, and upgrade ESXi hosts, firmware, and drivers.

Manage host consistency across clusters withimage-based lifecycle management.

Other options are unrelated:

A. Configure network settings→ Done through vCenter or host client, not vLCM.

B. Monitor performance→ Done in vCenter/VCF Operations, not vLCM.

C. Create/manage VMs→ Managed through vCenter, not vLCM.

The scenario describes anautomated, repeatable workflow:

Create an AD computer object.

Deploy a VM from a template.

Power on the VM and join domain.

The correct tool isVCF Operations Orchestrator(formerly vRealize Orchestrator), which:

Provides automation and integration withActive DirectoryandvCenter APIs.

Can execute workflows for VM provisioning and domain joining.

Other options:

A. vSphere Supervisor→ Kubernetes workload management, not AD/VM automation.

B. VCF Operations→ Monitoring and analytics, not workflow automation.

C. VCF CLI→ Useful for manual scripting but not suited for automated workflows.

ForConfidential Computing in vSphere 9.0:

Hardware Memory Isolation: RequiresAMD SEV-SNP (Secure Encrypted Virtualization – Secure Nested Paging)orIntel TDX (Trust Domain Extensions)enabled in the host BIOS and supported by ESXi. (C)

Trusted Hosts: Must usevSphere Trust Authority (vTA)to ensure that only verified, secure hosts run Confidential VMs. The VM must have theConfidential Computing flagset. (E)

Other options:

A. VM Hardware version 22→ Required for new features, but Confidential Computing specifically requires hardware + vTA.

B. TPM 2.0 guest OS attestation→ Not used for Confidential Computing, that’s host-based attestation.

D. Encrypted vMotion Required→ Recommended for secure VMotion, but not sufficient for Confidential Computing.
