bundles from all cells at once.
How should the administrator accomplish this goal?

  • A. Install vRealize Log Insight agent on each cell to redirect logs to a centralized location.

Explanation:
For multiple cells and packages, use this command and syntax to collect all the log bundles. The
command will place the bundle in the transfer directory and report the exact location: Running a
Multi-Cell Log Collection will not collect the Java Thread Dump, if required, run a Single Log
Collection from the required Cells. /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/vmware-vcd-support --all -m

Question 15

A tenant user wants to increase the size of a VM’s hard disk in the VMware Cloud Director Tenant
Portal.
Which Organization VDC setting can prevent this from actually occurring?

  • A. Thin provisioning is enabled for the Organization VDC in which the VM is running.
  • B. VM Encryption is enabled for the storage policies used by the Organization VDC.
  • C. IOPS Limiting is enabled for the Organization VDC in which the VM is running.
  • D. Fast Provisioning is enabled for the Organization VDC in which the VM is running.
Mark Question:
Answer:

D


Explanation:
- We can increase the size of an existing hard disk if the virtual machine is not a linked clone and it
has no snapshots.
- Fast provisioning saves time by using linked clones for virtual machine provisioning operations.
- A linked clone is a duplicate of a virtual machine that uses the same base disk as the original, with a
chain of delta disks to keep track of the differences between the original and the clone.
