VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator — Question 36

After a scheduled maintenance window, users report that they are unable to access the vCenter Server. The administrator notices that the vSphere Client is not responding.
What step should the administrator take to troubleshoot this issue?

Answer options

• A. Review the firewall rules on the vCenter Server.
• B. Check the network connectivity between the vCenter Server and the ESXi hosts.
• C. Verify that the vCenter Server is powered on and its services are running.
• D. Restart the vSphere Client service on the vCenter Server.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the first step in troubleshooting access issues is to ensure that the vCenter Server is up and its services are functioning. Options A and B are important but come after confirming the server's operational status. Option D may not be effective if the vCenter Server itself is not running.
