A vSphere administrator is performing maintenance on a group of ESXi 5.5 hosts when an error message displays indicating that the ramdisk is full. The two hosts reporting the problem were deployed with Auto Deploy.
What should the administrator do to resolve this issue?
A. Redirect host logs to an NFS store
B. Disable the System Logs through the host DCUI
C. Decrease the maximum host log file size to 10240KB
D. Move the ramdisk to an SSD drive
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: It is mentioned that the RAM disk is full. Thus you need to get a host that is capable of performing the task of maintenance. In ESXi vSphere 5 you can make use of the NFS datastore because it will not impose any limits on the NFS datastore size.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Disabling the System Logs defeats the purpose of maintenance since this is where you will gather the appropriate information from.
C: Decreasing the host log file size will not solve the issue of Auto Deploying the maintenance on the hosts. Logging is a necessity when performing maintenance. You need a datastore that has no limitation on size.
D: Moving the DAM disk is not going to increase its capacity/size. It is still the same disk.
