-- Exhibit —
A vSphere administrator installs an ESXi host and creates a virtual machine, then installs vCenter Server. Upon connecting to the environment, the administrator notices that several inventory views appear to be missing from the Navigation Bar as shown in the Exhibit.
Which condition would result in this behavior?
A. The vSphere administrator is logged directly into the ESXi host.
B. The vSphere administrator is logged directly into the vCenter Server.
C. The vSphere administrator has limited permissions on the ESXi host.
D. The vSphere administrator has limited permissions on the vCenter Server.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: Before you can build your inventory you must get your ESXi hosts into vCenter Server. And before you can get your ESXi hosts into vCenter Server, you need to have a datacenter object. Then you will get Inventory views. The exhibit shows the administrator logged into the ESXi host.
Incorrect Answers:
B: If the administrator was logged into the vCenter Server then the vCenter inventory will have been displayed.
C: Limited permissions is not the issue here because it is stated that the vSphere administrator had enough permission to install an ESXi host, create a virtual machine as well as install vCenter Server.
D: The administrator did in fact install the vCenter Server and thus do not have limited permissions.
