What are two reasons to upgrade a virtual machine’s hardware version? (Choose two.)
A. Migrate a virtual machine from a VMFS3 datastore to a VMFS5 datastore.
B. Add more than 4 NICs to a virtual machine.
C. Add more than 8 vCPUs to a virtual machine.
D. Increase the vRAM of the virtual machine to 512GB.
Correct Answer: CD
Explanation/Reference:
"Migrate a virtual machine from a VMFS3 datastore to a VMFS5 datastore." Incorrect. vSphere 5.x VMs can run on VMFS3 and VMFS5
"Add more than 4 NICs to a virtual machine". Incorrect. I believe this is a case of them using the word NIC instead of vNIC. A virtual machine knows nothing of a physical NIC, only vNICs.
"Add more than 8 vCPUs to a virtual machine.". Correct. Before hardware version 8, a maximum of 8 vCPUs could be assigned to a single VM.
"Increase the vRAM of the virtual machine to 512GB.". Correct. Before hardware version 7, a maximum of 256 GB of vRAM could be assigned to a VM.
