Question 330

A change board is planning a verified response to this server event: An administrator live-migrates a heavy VM to a host with insufficient memory headroom, triggering severe ballooning after arrival. For the Live migration compatibility and resource headroom issue, which response elements belong in the approved plan? Select TWO answers.

  1. Implement desired-state checks and idempotent updates with logs and bounded retries so repeated runs converge.
  2. Schedule migration based only on the destination host's power-on status.
  3. Review EVC/CPU compatibility, datastore visibility, network mapping and free host capacity.
  4. Verify migration CPU compatibility, shared/storage accessibility and destination resource headroom before moving VMs.
  5. Peak workload runs within latency targets without excessive CPU ready or host memory reclamation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

These observations investigate the exact Live migration compatibility and resource headroom failure rather than unrelated components. Confirm remediation through: The VM migrates without guest interruption and maintains its workload performance after placement.

D:

Live migration depends on compatible host features and enough resources on the target, even if the guest OS is unchanged. This is the appropriate targeted correction for Live migration compatibility and resource headroom.

Incorrect Answers

A:

For this incident, the relevant principle is: Live migration depends on compatible host features and enough resources on the target, even if the guest OS is unchanged. The desired recovery condition is: The VM migrates without guest interruption and maintains its workload performance after placement.

B:

This is the unsafe shortcut in the Live migration compatibility and resource headroom scenario, not a justified remediation or diagnostic.

E:

For this incident, the relevant principle is: Live migration depends on compatible host features and enough resources on the target, even if the guest OS is unchanged. This statement concerns Hypervisor resource overcommit and reservations, a different Server+ technical control.

Question 331

A server administrator is investigating a server issue involving idempotent configuration automation: A configuration script appends an identical firewall rule every time it runs, leaving hundreds of duplicate rules. The change must address the documented fault without creating unrelated risk. Which corrective action is most appropriate? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Align virtual switch and distributed port-group VLAN, uplink and security settings across hosts; preserve network isolation.
  2. Always append commands blindly and assume scripts run exactly once.
  3. Use approved secret storage, minimize secret exposure and validate command errors with audit-friendly failure handling.
  4. Implement desired-state checks and idempotent updates with logs and bounded retries so repeated runs converge.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Reliable administration scripts should be safe to rerun after partial execution rather than multiply state changes. Before rollout, confirm the problem with: Inspect script condition checks, before/after configuration, test reruns and failure logs.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That option would align virtual switch and distributed port-group VLAN, uplink and security settings across hosts; preserve network isolation, but it addresses a different concern. Reliable administration scripts should be safe to rerun after partial execution rather than multiply state changes.

B:

This is the unsafe shortcut in the Idempotent configuration automation scenario, not a justified remediation or diagnostic. Reliable administration scripts should be safe to rerun after partial execution rather than multiply state changes.

C:

That option would use approved secret storage, minimize secret exposure and validate command errors with audit-friendly failure handling, but it addresses a different concern. Reliable administration scripts should be safe to rerun after partial execution rather than multiply state changes.

Question 332

While reviewing the CompTIA Server+ administration incident, a technician learns: A configuration script appends an identical firewall rule every time it runs, leaving hundreds of duplicate rules. Which principle most directly explains how to address the described issue safely? Select ONE best answer.

  1. A successful OS install does not establish ongoing supportability or image provenance; images require lifecycle controls.
  2. Reliable administration scripts should be safe to rerun after partial execution rather than multiply state changes.
  3. A standby's existence does not prove recoverability; replication lag, failover automation and consistency determine outcomes.
  4. Time synchronization is required for trustworthy logs, certificate validation windows and time-sensitive authentication.

Explanation

The desired recovery condition is: Running the automation twice produces the same intended end state without duplicate objects.

Question 333

Before a server change is approved, the on-call engineer receives this incident report: A configuration script appends an identical firewall rule every time it runs, leaving hundreds of duplicate rules. Which evidence would most directly establish the stated root-cause hypothesis? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Compare OS vendor support dates, package inventory, image build ID and scan findings against the approved baseline.
  2. Inspect script condition checks, before/after configuration, test reruns and failure logs.
  3. Always append commands blindly and assume scripts run exactly once.
  4. Review repository history, CI log access, token scope, subprocess exit status and operation checksums.
