Pass the VMware VCP-VVF Admin 2V0-16.25 Questions and answers with ValidTests

Aport groupon avSphere Distributed Switch (VDS)provides:

Logical grouping of virtual ports.

Definesnetwork policiessuch as VLAN IDs, traffic shaping, security policies, and teaming.

Used for segmenting traffic types (vMotion, vSAN, management, VM traffic).

Other options:

A. Enable vSAN connectivity→ Achieved by assigning vSAN traffic to a port group, but not the main definition.

B. Allocate CPU/memory resources→ Done via resource pools, not port groups.

D. Manage storage I/O performance→ Done with Storage I/O Control, not port groups.

The security team requiresvisibility into vCenter configurationsbut must not make changes.

Best practice is tocreate an Active Directory or vCenter group, add the security users, and assign them theRead-Only roleat thedatacenter/cluster/networklevel.

This ensures each user logs in with unique credentials, maintaining accountability.

Why others are incorrect:

A. Share administrator@vsphere.local password→ Violates security best practices.

B. Create a single user and share credentials→ Still insecure, lacks unique audit trails.

C. Assign Network Administrator role→ Grants configuration permissions, not allowed.

To enableenhanced capabilities of Storage Operations for vSAN 9.0 in VCF Operations(Diagnostic Troubleshooting, Benchmarking, and Optimizing), administrators must complete several prerequisites that ensure vSAN health, performance, and permissions are properly set up.

Enable and start the vSAN Performance service in the target vCenter (B):

The vSAN Performance Service must be enabled for cluster-level monitoring.

This provides the telemetry data needed for diagnostic and benchmarking capabilities in VCF Operations.

Without enabling this service, no performance metrics can be collected.

Configure a vSAN account for the vCenter Integration Instance (C):

A dedicated vSAN service account must be configured so that VCF Operations can communicate with vCenter for vSAN data collection.

This ensures secure and role-specific access for monitoring operations.

Assign the credentials configured in the vCenter Integration instance to have access to vSAN objects (E):

The credentials used in the vCenter integration must have the required privileges to access vSAN objects (such as datastore, cluster objects, and health checks).

This ensures that VCF Operations can run diagnostics, benchmarking, and optimization functions without permission errors.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. No configuration required, Run New Diagnostics is enabled automatically:❌Incorrect. Configuration is required before these advanced features can be enabled.

D. Assign the VCF Operations Service Account administrative rights to vSAN Objects:❌Too broad and not a best practice. Instead, specific rights via the vCenter integration account (option E) are recommended.

F. Open port 5989 on each VCF Operations node on which the vSAN adapter exists:❌Not required for enabling vSAN advanced diagnostics in VCF 9.0. vSAN operations rely on vCenter connectivity, not direct port 5989.

When upgrading tovSphere Foundation (VVF)on an existingvCenter Server 8.0u3 environment with NSX, the correct method isConverge:

Convergetakes an existing vSphere + NSX environment and brings it into thevSphere Foundation framework, without redeploying from scratch.

Deployis used for new greenfield installations.

Upgradeapplies to upgrading from an earlier version ofvSphere Foundation, not from standalone vSphere.

Not possible (A)is incorrect — VMware supports Converge in this scenario.

TheVCF Operations Orchestrator Plug-in for VMware vSphere Web Clientallows orchestration workflows directly in the vSphere Client.

However,only one vSphere instance can be integratedat a time with the vSphere Client via this plug-in.

This limitation ensures a consistent, single orchestration endpoint per vSphere Client environment.

Other options (8, 10, 15) apply to scaling of vCenter or data sources but not to the Orchestrator Plug-in integration.

To ensure that only specific users can manage VMs in a specific VMware vCenter folder, the following three steps are required:

Create a new role in vCenter with VM management permissions(Answer B):You must define a custom role tailored to managing VMs, which includes permissions such as powering on/off VMs, editing VM settings, and accessing consoles. This role must include the appropriate privileges under the “Virtual machine” category in vCenter permissions.

Apply the role to the specific vCenter folder(Answer C):The custom role needs to be applied directly to the target vCenter folder. This enables scope-based access control, where permissions are applied only to VMs within that folder.

Assign the new role to the appropriate users/groups(Answer A):After creating the role and applying it to the folder, the role must be associated with the correct users or groups. This step uses the vCenter Server's identity source integration to assign roles.

Why the other options are incorrect:

D. Add the identity source to vCenter:This is a prerequisite step for any role assignment but is not directly required in this specific scenario if the identity source is already configured.

E. Create a datastore cluster:This is unrelated to managing VM access. Datastore clusters pertain to storage management and are not involved in user permissions or role assignments.

To configureVMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Operations for logsso that it can send notifications and metrics, administrators must use theIntegrations workflow inside VCF Operations.

You configure integrations centrally from theAdministration > Integrationspage in VCF Operations.

Here you add theVCF Operations for Logs data source, configure credentials, and set up Webhooks for alerts.

Once integration is completed, VCF Operations for Logs data can be consumed in VCF Operations dashboards and used for notifications and metrics.

This process is not launched directly from "VCF Operations for Logs," but rather fromVCF Operations itself, where all integrations (vCenter, vSAN, NSX, and Logs) are centrally managed.

To allow a Content Library in vSphere Foundation to be accessed byother vCenter Server instances, it must bepublished.

Once published, other vCenters cansubscribeto the library.

Synchronization ensures subscribed vCenters receive updated templates and ISOs.

Other options:

A. Automatic synchronization→ Works only for subscribers, not for publishing.

B. Store on vSAN datastore→ Storage choice does not enable multi-vCenter access.

C. Store on NFS datastore→ Similar, datastore type does not matter.

To configureService Discovery for Linux Guest OSin VCF Operations using anon-root user:

Activate Service Discoveryin thevCenter instanceto start discovery operations. (B)

Enable Use Sudoin the Service Discovery instance so the non-root account can run necessary privileged commands. (E)

Other options:

A. Activate Use Sudo in vCenter instance→ Wrong, this is configured in Service Discovery.

C. Activate in NSX instance→ Not applicable; Service Discovery integrates with vCenter.

D. Deactivate Use Sudo→ Opposite of required security setting.

TheVCF Operations for Logs capabilitymost useful forroot cause analysis and troubleshootingisLog Querying.

Allows searching, filtering, and correlating log events to diagnose issues.

Log Forwarding (A)→ Sends logs elsewhere, not analysis.

Alerting (B)→ Notifies about issues but does not provide investigation details.

Dashboarding (C)→ Provides visualization, but root cause analysis requiresqueries.
