Testking VCP-410
o When you restore the standard switch, a new virtual adapter is created and the management network uplink that is currently connected to
vNetwork Distributed Switch is migrated to the new virtual switch.
o The software creates these partitions:
o One 4GB VFAT scratch partition for system swap.
o One VMFS3 partition on the remaining free space.
o The installer creates a 110MB diagnostic partition for core dumps.
o The scratch partition is not required 220 701 (but created by default during the installation). It is used to store vm-support output, which you need
when you create a support bundle.
o Lockdown mode prevents remote personnel from logging in to the ESXi host by using the root login name. By default, lockdown mode is
disabled.
o Resetting the configuration does not remove virtual machines on the ESXi host. After you reset the configuration defaults, the virtual
machines are not visible, but you can retrieve them by reconfiguring storage and reregistering the virtual machines.
o When you perform a configuration backup, the serial number is backed up with the configuration and is restored when you restore the
configuration. The serial number is not preserved when you run the Recovery CD (ESXi Embedded) or perform the repair operation (ESXi
Installable).
o When you restore the configuration, the target host must be in maintenance mode, which means all virtual machines (including the vSphere
CLI virtual appliance) must be powered off.
o Run the vicfg-cfgbackup command with the -s flag to save the host configuration to the specified backup filename.
o When you restore configuration data, the build number currently running on the host must be the same as the build number that was running
when you created the backup file. You can override this requirement by including the -f (force) flag with the vicfg-cfgbackup
command.
o Run the vicfg-cfgbackup command with the -l 220 702 flag to load the host configuration from the specified backup file.
o You can restore the ESXi Installable software by running the ESXi installation CD in repair mode. All host configuration data is overwritten by
system defaults.
o During the repair operation, your existing ESXi 4.0 Installable VMFS datastore is preserved if it is in its original location on the ESXi 4.0 boot
disk, or if it is located on another disk (separate from the boot disk). If you changed the VMFS location on the boot disk, it is preserved if it is
located beyond the 900MB partition.
vSphere upgrade guide
o When you upgrade from ESX 3.x/ESXi 3.5 to ESX 4.0/ESXi 4.0, you can use either the vSphere Host Update Utility or vCenter Update Manager.
o EDIT – you can also use the upgrade script (esxupgrade.sh – KB 1009440). VMware doesn’t mention the option of a fresh install at any point;
they are pushing the upgrade option as much as possible. You can’t seem to do an upgrade with the ESX4 install CD.
o Host Update Utility is used for upgrading ESX 3.x/ESXi 3.5 standalone hosts to ESX 4.0/ESXi 4.0 and for patching ESXi 4.0 standalone hosts. It is
a standalone Microsoft Windows application recommended for smaller deployments with fewer than 10 ESX/ESXi hosts, without vCenter
Server or Update Manager.
o vCenter Update Manager is for upgrading and updating ESX/ESXi hosts that are managed in vCenter Server.
o Orchestrated upgrades can be used to upgrade the VM hardware and VMware Tools.
o No VMFS upgrade is required if you are upgrading from ESX 3.x
o You must upgrade VMware Tools before upgrading virtual hardware.
o After you upgrade to vCenter Server, you cannot revert to VirtualCenter 2.x. Take appropriate backups before starting the upgrade.
o Upgrade VirtualCenter 2.x to vCenter Server 4.0:
o Make sure your database is 220 701 compatible
o Have required permissions
o Take a full backup of the VirtualCenter 2.x database
o Back up the VirtualCenter 2.x SSL certificates
o Install the vSphere Client
o vCenter Converter, upgrade
o vCenter Guided Consolidation upgrade
o Upgrade to vCenter Update Manager 4.0.
o Use vCenter Update Manager to upgrade ESX 3.x hosts to ESX 4.0. (or use host update utility)
o Use vCenter Update Manager to upgrade your VMs. vCenter Update Manager ensures that the VMware Tools upgrade and the virtual
hardware upgrade happen in the correct order
o Upgrade your product licenses
o ESX 2.x hosts cannot be added to clusters.
o Oracle 9i is no longer supported.
o Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is no longer supported.
o To Back Up VirtualCenter 2.x:
o Make a full backup of the VirtualCenter 2.x database.

VCP-410 Dumps
Data Recovery – Administrator’s Guide
o Data Recovery uses a VM appliance & a client plug-in to manage & restore backups.
o All backed-up VMs are stored in a de-duplicated store.
o Data Recovery supports the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS),
o Data Recovery can concurrently back up a maximum of eight VMs.
o Maximum of eight restore jobs Passed VCP410 can run at the same time.
o No more than two backup destinations simultaneously.
o The backups use the changed block tracking functionality on the ESX hosts.
o To maximize de-duplication, back up similar VMs to the same destination.
o Valid vSphere licensing includes: Essential Plus, Advanced, Enterprise, or Enterprise Plus licenses.
o Each Data recovery backup appliance can protect a total of 100 VMs
o VSS produces consistent shadow copies by coordinating with business applications, file-system services, backup applications, fast-recovery
solutions, & storage hardware. VSS support is provided with VMware Tools. VMware provides a VSS Requestor & a VSS Snapshot Provider
(VSP). The Requester component is available inside a supported guest & responds to events from an external backup application. The
Requestor also controls the progress of backup operations inside the guest and interacts with the VSP. The Requestor is instantiated by the
VMware Tools service when a backup process is initialized. The VSP is registered as a Windows service & notifies Data Recovery of providerspecific
events during a VSS backup.
o VSS is supported on:
o Windows Server 2003, 32 bit & 64 bit
o Windows Vista, 32 bit & 64 bit
o Windows Server 2008, 32 bit & 64 bit
o For VMs with Windows operating systems Passed VCP 4 that do not support VSS, VMware Tools uses the default LGTO SYNC driver. For other guest
operating systems, VMware Tools uses crash-consistent quiescing.
o Data Recovery is designed to support de-duplication stores that are up to 1TB & each backup appliance is designed to support the use of two
de-duplication stores. Data Recovery does not impose limits on the size of de-duplication stores or number of de-duplication stores, but if
more than two stores are used or as the size of a store exceeds one terabyte, performance may be affected.
o You can store backups on any virtual disk supported by ESX. Data Recovery also supports Common Internet File System (CIFS) based storage
such as SAMBA.
o The Data Recovery plug-in connects to the backup appliance using port 22024.
o First time logging on to the backup appliance, the default credentials are username: root, password: vmw@re.
o By default, backup jobs run at night on Monday through Friday & at any time on Saturday & Sunday. Data Recovery attempts to back up each
VM in a job once a day during its backup window.
o Complete a restore rehearsal to confirm vcp 410 that a VM is being backed up as expected & that a successful restore operation would complete as
expected.
From Mike Laverick’s notes:
o De-duplication process operates by analyzing the VM to be backed up & breaking it up into smaller variable blocks size chunks which are
anywhere between the range of 2KB to 64KB.
o The de-duplication process cannot be disabled; the data is also encrypted to prevent malicious interception of the data.
o De-duplication data is stored as 1GB files in the VMwareDataRecovery folder.
o Backup of individual files contained inside the VM is currently “experimental”.
o Both VCB & vDR cannot backup the end-user generated snapshots.
o vDR can utilize tape but you need a 3rd party solution.

vSphere Management Assistant Guide (vMA)
o The vSphere Management VCP-410 exam Assistant (vMA) is a VM that includes a Linux distribution, the vSphere command-line interface, & the vSphere SDK
for Perl. vMA allows administrators to run scripts or agents that interact with ESX/ESXi & vCenter systems without having to explicitly
authenticate each time. vMA can also collect ESX/ESXi & vCenter logging information and store the information on vMA for analysis.
o vMA comes preconfigured with two accounts, vi-admin & vi-user.
o You can use the vima-update utility from inside vMA to download updates & VMware components, including the operating system.
Configuration file: /etc/vmware/esxupdate/vimaupdate.conf
o You can move files from the ESX/ESXi host to the vMA console (and back) using the vifs command.
o vMA also includes an authentication component (vi-fastpass) & a logging component (vi-logger).
o When you add an ESX/ESXi system as a target server, vi-fastpass creates two users with obfuscated passwords on the target server:
o vi-admin (administrator privileges)
o vi-user (read-only privileges)
o After the target server has been added, you must initialize vi-fastpass. Use one of the following methods:
o Run vifpinit.
o Call LoginByFastpass in a Perl or Java program.
o vi-logger consists of a log daemon (vilogd) that collects & processes log files & the vilogger CLI that supports logger configuration.
o By default, vilogd places the logs in /var/log/vmware. To specify a different log location, change the /etc/vmware/viconfig/vilogdefaults.xml
file.
o You can use vMA to target ESX/ESXi 3.5 VCP-410 exam questions Update 2 or later, ESX/ESXi 4.0, or vCenter Server 4.0 systems.
o The root user account is disabled on vMA. To run privileged commands, use sudo. By default, only vi-admin can run commands that require
sudo.
o You cannot upgrade from VIMA 1.0 to vMA 4.0. You must deploy the vMA 4.0 OVF instead.
o You cannot use the vi-user account until you have specified a password.
o The vi-user account has limited privileges on target ESX/ESXi systems & cannot run any vilogger commands or any commands that require
sudo execution.
o On vCenter Server targets, vi-user is not supported.
o Add Target Servers:
o sudo vifp addserver
o Initialize vi-fastpass: vifpinit
o Verify that the target server has been added: vifp listservers
o If the name of a target server changes, you must remove the target server using vifp removeserver with the old name, then add the server
using vifp addserver with the new name.
o Running vifpinit always initializes all current target servers. If you add multiple servers in sequence, you do not have to call vifpinit for each
server.
o The directory /opt/vmware/vima/samples VCP-410 study guide contains examples in Perl & Java.
o Commands with options:
o vifpinit
o vifp (administrative interface)
o addserver
o removeserver
o rotatepassword
o listservers
o vilogger (logging interface)
o enable
o disable
o updatepolicy
o list
o vifplib (library)
o vilogger interface - collect log files from the target ESX/ESXi or vCenter Server hosts.
o The vifplib library allows you to programmatically connect to vMA targets using Perl or Java.

alphabetical order with freeze as the first argument.
o Post-thaw - C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Tools\backupScripts.d or /usr/sbin/post-thaw-script - All scripts are invoked in
descending alphabetical order with thaw or freezeFail as the first argument.

o You can use vcbMounter to back up an entire VM in the service console. The vcbMounter utility creates a quiesced snapshot of the VM &
exports the snapshot into a set of files, which can be later used to restore the VM.
o To search for a particular VM & get information about it, use vcbVmName.
o You can back up a VM to a local directory or to a remote server using scp.
o Use vcbSnapAll to create an archive of groups of VMs in the service console. The vcbSnapAll utility has the same functionality as vcbMounter,
but, in addition, can identify groups of VMs.
