Question 6 of 59
6. Question
An administrator is asked to move a 64-bit guest to a new host. However, the guest will not boot on the new host. Which of the following is the cause of the problem?
Correct
Correct
Option C. In the BIOS, AMD-V / Intel VT are not turned on
Correct because:
Running a 64-bit guest VM requires hardware-assisted virtualization support.
On Intel CPUs this is Intel VT-x, and on AMD CPUs it is AMD-V.
If these features are disabled in the BIOS/UEFI, the hypervisor cannot run 64-bit virtual machines, causing the guest to fail to boot.
This is a common exam scenario highlighting the importance of enabling virtualization extensions in BIOS settings.
Incorrect
Option A. The new host’s hypervisor is not Type 1
Incorrect because both Type 1 (bare-metal) and Type 2 (hosted) hypervisors can run 64-bit guests if hardware virtualization is enabled.
The hypervisor type alone does not prevent a 64-bit guest from booting.
Option B. The management interface is not activated on the host
Incorrect because the management interface affects administration and monitoring, not the ability to boot a VM.
Even without a management interface, the hypervisor can still run virtual machines.
Option D. The new host’s hypervisor is not Type 2
Incorrect because, similar to Option A, the hypervisor type does not determine 64-bit compatibility.
The critical factor is whether hardware virtualization support is enabled in BIOS.

8. Question
A server technician is notified that Linux web services are no longer accessible. The technician is at a remote site only has access to a Windows workstation.
Which of the following should the technician use to remotely restart the web services?
Correct
Correct
Option B. Connect to the server using RDP
Correct because:
From a Windows workstation, the technician can use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to connect to another Windows system that has access to the Linux server.
While Linux servers are typically managed via SSH, the exam scenario emphasizes that the technician only has a Windows workstation, making RDP the practical choice for remote management in this context.
Once connected through RDP, the technician can access tools or a management console to restart the Linux web services indirectly.
Incorrect
Option A. Connect to the server using SSH
Incorrect because SSH (Secure Shell) is the standard method for managing Linux servers remotely.
However, the technician only has a Windows workstation without direct Linux access. Unless SSH client software (like PuTTY) is installed, SSH is not immediately usable in this scenario.
Option C. Connect to the server using SCP
Incorrect because SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) is used for transferring files between systems.
It does not provide interactive remote access or the ability to restart services.
Option D. Connect to the server using FTPS
Incorrect because FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Secure) is used for secure file transfers.
Like SCP, it cannot be used to manage or restart services on a Linux server.

Question 10 of 59
10. Question
A server has five hot swappable drives in a hardware RAID 5 configuration. One of those drives has issued a predictive failure warning to the server’s management console. Which of the following is the BEST course of action?
Correct
Correct
Option D. Replace the drive and have the RAID controller rebuild the configuration
Correct because:
In RAID 5, data and parity are distributed across all drives.
When one drive shows a predictive failure, the best practice is to replace the failing drive immediately.
The RAID controller can then rebuild the array automatically using the parity information, ensuring no data loss and minimal downtime.
Since the drives are hot swappable, this can be done without shutting down the server.
Incorrect
Option A. Replace the drive and restore data from backup
Incorrect because RAID 5 is designed to rebuild data from parity without needing a backup unless multiple drives fail.
Restoring from backup would take longer and is unnecessary in this situation.
Option B. Reformat the drive and restore data from backup
Incorrect because reformatting a failing drive does not fix the issue.
The predictive failure indicates hardware degradation, not a formatting problem.
Restoring from backup is again unnecessary since RAID 5 can rebuild automatically.
Option C. Reformat the drive and have the RAID controller rebuild the configuration
Incorrect because reformatting is not required.
The proper step is replacement, not reformatting, since the drive is physically failing.
Reformatting a failing drive risks further issues and does not align with RAID best practices.

Question 18 of 59
18. Question
An administrator wants to ensure a server OS and data can be recovered in case all the server’s hard disk drives fail simultaneously. Which of the following backup types must be implemented to meet the requirements?
Correct
Correct
Option A. Full backup
Correct because:
A full backup captures the entire system, including the operating system, applications, and data.
This ensures that if all hard drives fail, the server can be completely restored from the backup.
Differential or incremental backups rely on a previous full backup, so without a full backup, recovery would be incomplete.
For disaster recovery scenarios involving total disk failure, a full backup is the only method that guarantees complete restoration.
Incorrect
Option B. Differential
Incorrect because differential backups only store changes since the last full backup.
They cannot restore the entire system on their own; they require a full backup as a baseline.
Option C. Incremental
Incorrect because incremental backups only store changes since the last backup (full or incremental).
Like differential, they depend on a full backup to restore the entire system.
Option D. Bare metal
Incorrect in this context because bare metal recovery refers to restoring a system onto new hardware, often using an image-based backup.
While related, the exam question specifically asks about ensuring recovery if all drives fail, which requires a full backup as the foundation.

While Fibre Channel is high-speed and supports multiple servers, the question context points to SAS as the more appropriate interface for direct server-to-array connectivity.
Option C. USB
Incorrect because USB is a consumer-level interface and does not support enterprise-grade shared storage connections.
It is not scalable or reliable for connecting multiple servers to a storage array.
Option D. SCSI
Incorrect because traditional parallel SCSI does not support multiple servers connecting to the same storage array.
Unattempted
Correct
Option B. SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)
Correct because:
SAS supports multi-initiator connections, meaning multiple servers can connect to the same storage array.
It is designed for enterprise storage environments and allows scalability with multiple devices.
SAS provides high performance and reliability, making it suitable for shared storage scenarios like the one described.
