VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 85

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because configuring the scratch partition to use an available datastore allows log files to be preserved across reboots. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not provide a reliable method for log file persistence, while C is unrelated to log file management.
