An administrator needs to enable the enhanced capabilities of Storage Operations for vSAN 9.0 in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Operations.
What three prerequisite steps must be completed in order to enable the advanced Diagnostic Troubleshooting, Benchmarking and Optimizing?
(Choose three.)

No configuration required, Run New Diagnostics is enabled automatically.

Enable and start the vSAN Performance service in the target vCenter.

Configure a vSAN account for the vCenter Integration Instance.

Assign the VCF Operations Service Account administrative rights to vSAN Objects.

Assign the credentials configured in the vCenter Integration instance have access to vSAN objects.

Open port 5989 on each VCF Operations node on which the vSAN adapter exists.

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.

An administrator is tasked with adding a 96-core VMware ESX host to a VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF)
9.0 vCenter cluster. The vCenter has been previously licensed for 1024 cores and the existing hosts equal 960 cores. The administrator adds the host to the vCenter cluster and places the cluster back into production.
What issue will occur if the administrator performs no additional actions to this vCenter?

The new ESX host will operate in evaluation mode until more capacity is added to the license to license the host. If the host is not licensed when the evaluation period expires, the host will be limited to 64 cores until 32 cores or greater is added to the license.

The new ESX host has been limited to 64 cores until more capacity is added to the license to license the host. Once 32 cores or greater is added to the license, the full 96 cores of the new host will be useable.

The new ESX host will operate in evaluation mode until more capacity is added to the license to license the host. If the host is not licensed when the evaluation period expires, it is disconnected from the vCenter instance.

No issue will occur. The new host was added to the vCenter cluster successfully and will operate for the valid period of the applied license.
