VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 110

An administrator must gracefully restart a virtual machine (VM) through the vSphere Client but the option is greyed out. The administrator has full administrative access on VMware vCenter and all the objects available in vCenter, but has no access to log onto the operating system.
Which action should the administrator take to meet the objective?

Answer options

• A. Upgrade the virtual hardware
• B. Migrate the VM to another host
• C. Install VMware Tools
• D. Restart vCenter

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as installing VMware Tools on the VM enables better integration between the VM and the vSphere environment, allowing for a graceful restart option to be available. The other options do not directly address the issue of the greyed-out restart option and may not resolve the lack of access to the operating system.
