VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 70

An administrator is preparing for a deployment of a new vCenter Server Appliance. The follow-ing information has been provided to complete the deployment:

• ESXi Host name (FQDN): esx01.corp.local
• ESXi IP Address: 172.20.10.200
• vCenter Server Name (FQDN): vcsa01.corp.local
• vCenter Server IP Address: 172.20.10.100
• NTP Server: 172.20.10.20
• DNS Server: 172.20.10.1
• Deployment Size: Tiny
• Storage Size: Default

Which two actions must the administrator complete before starting the installation of the vCenter Server Appliance? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Create a DNS CNAME record for the vCenter Server (vcsa01.corp.local).
• B. Create a DNS CNAME record for the ESXi Host server (esx01.corp.local).
• C. Create a reverse DNS A record for the vCenter Server (vcsa01).
• D. Create a reverse DNS A record for the ESXi Host server (esx01)
• E. Create a forward DNS A record for the vCenter Server (vcsa01).

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

Creating a reverse DNS A record for the vCenter Server (vcsa01) is necessary for proper name resolution, while a forward DNS A record for the vCenter Server (vcsa01) ensures that the vCenter can be located by clients. The other options do not fulfill the requirements for the vCenter Server Appliance deployment as they pertain to either incorrect records or to the ESXi Host, which are not required for this specific setup.
