VMware Cloud Foundation 3.x Administrator — Question 46

What are three configuration steps are required to mount an NFS datastore in vSphere? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. On virtual machines running Microsoft Windows, increase the value of the SCSI TimeoutValue paramater to allow Windows to better tolerate delayed I/O resulting from path failover.
• B. Configure VMkernel Port Binding.
• C. On each ESXi host, configure a VMkernel Network port for NFS traffic.
• D. On the NFS server, configure an NFS volume and export it to be mounted on the ESXi hosts.
• E. If you plan to use Kerberos authentication with the NFS 4.1 datastore, configure the ESXi hosts for Kerberos authentication.

Correct answer: C, D, E

Explanation

The correct steps to mount an NFS datastore include configuring a VMkernel Network port for NFS traffic (C), setting up an NFS volume and exporting it (D), and preparing the ESXi hosts for Kerberos authentication if needed (E). Option A is irrelevant as it pertains to Windows virtual machines and SCSI settings, while option B, while useful, is not essential for mounting an NFS datastore.
