VMware Cloud Foundation 3.x Administrator — Question 38

Which three methods can a vSphere administrator use to automatically synchronize time on a ESXi host? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Log in to the VMware Host Client, navigate to Host > Manage > Time & date and click Edit settings.
• B. Configure the VMware Tools time synchronization.
• C. Select the host in the vSphere Web Client, navigate to Configure > System > Time Configuration and click the Edit button.
• D. Use the vicfg-ntp command.
• E. Use the esxcli hardware clock get command in the ESXi Shell.

Correct answer: A, C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A, C, and D because they provide direct methods to configure time settings through the VMware interfaces or command-line tools. Option B is incorrect as VMware Tools time synchronization is more of a guest OS feature rather than a method for the ESXi host itself. Option E does not facilitate time synchronization; it only retrieves the current hardware clock settings.
