VMware vSphere 7.x Professional for Service Providers — Question 48

A vSphere administrator is installing ESXi 6.7 on a diskless host booting from an onboard 8GB SD card.
What should be done to ensure log files are persisted through a host reboot?

Answer options

• A. Configure the scratch partition to use an available datastore.
• B. By default the log files will be stored on the SD card.
• C. Ensure vCenter Dump Collector service is running.
• D. Manually create scratch partition on the SD card.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because configuring the scratch partition to use an available datastore allows log files to persist across reboots. Option B is incorrect since log files stored on the SD card would be lost upon reboot. Option C is not relevant to log file persistence, and option D is also incorrect as it does not provide the functionality needed for log retention.
