Question 720

A change board is planning a verified response to this server event: An application VM begins swapping heavily after moving to a hypervisor host oversubscribed on RAM, despite guest free-space metrics looking normal. For the Hypervisor contention causing guest latency issue, which response elements belong in the approved plan? Select TWO answers.

  1. Use host and guest metrics to identify hypervisor resource contention, then right-size or rebalance allocations.
  2. The fault disappears under an approved version with no unrelated security controls disabled.
  3. Inspect cache-protection health and replace or restore supported battery/flash protection before using safe cache policy.
  4. Compare CPU ready, host memory reclaim, NUMA locality, datastore latency and workload peaks.
  5. Double the guest vCPU count on the same saturated host without measuring ready time.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A successful outcome is: Application latency normalizes when host contention is reduced without hiding alerts.

D:

These observations investigate the exact Hypervisor contention causing guest latency failure rather than unrelated components. Confirm remediation through: Application latency normalizes when host contention is reduced without hiding alerts.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This statement concerns OS patch regression and rollback, a different Server+ technical control. It does not directly address the reported Hypervisor contention causing guest latency fault or prove its repair.

C:

That option would inspect cache-protection health and replace or restore supported battery/flash protection before using safe cache policy, but it addresses a different concern. Guest CPU and memory counters alone can mask hypervisor scheduling delay and host swapping.

E:

This is the unsafe shortcut in the Hypervisor contention causing guest latency scenario, not a justified remediation or diagnostic. Incident: An application VM begins swapping heavily after moving to a hypervisor host oversubscribed on RAM, despite guest free-space metrics looking normal.

Question 721

A server administrator is investigating a server issue involving incorrect switch vlan trunk allowance: A newly deployed server cannot reach its database only when traffic crosses a specific tagged VLAN omitted from an uplink trunk. The change must address the documented fault without creating unrelated risk. Which corrective action is most appropriate? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Test client resolvers and cached records, correct zone or resolver settings and honor TTL behavior.
  2. Inspect forward/return routing, gateway selection and stateful firewall rules; correct the narrow route or policy.
  3. Convert every trunk to allow all VLANs to avoid diagnosing the missing tenant tag.
  4. Correct access/trunk VLAN membership and allowed VLAN lists while preserving intended segmentation.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Tagged VLAN traffic must be permitted end-to-end; routing changes do not repair a missing layer-two VLAN path.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This statement concerns DNS client-specific failure, a different Server+ technical control. It does not directly address the reported Incorrect switch VLAN trunk allowance fault or prove its repair. For this incident, the relevant principle is: Tagged VLAN traffic must be permitted end-to-end; routing changes do not repair a missing layer-two VLAN path. A targeted investigation checks: Inspect switchport mode, native VLAN, allowed VLAN set, MAC learning and packet tags on the affected uplink. The desired recovery condition is: Only intended VLANs traverse the trunk and test VMs reach their approved peers.

B:

That option would inspect forward/return routing, gateway selection and stateful firewall rules; correct the narrow route or policy, but it addresses a different concern. Tagged VLAN traffic must be permitted end-to-end; routing changes do not repair a missing layer-two VLAN path.

C:

This is the unsafe shortcut in the Incorrect switch VLAN trunk allowance scenario, not a justified remediation or diagnostic. Tagged VLAN traffic must be permitted end-to-end; routing changes do not repair a missing layer-two VLAN path.

Question 722

While reviewing the CompTIA Server+ administration incident, a technician learns: A newly deployed server cannot reach its database only when traffic crosses a specific tagged VLAN omitted from an uplink trunk. Which principle most directly explains how to address the described issue safely? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Degraded or unstable storage may be one additional fault from data loss; immediate integrity and rebuild priorities matter.
  2. Intermittent IP conflicts and unauthorized DHCP options can appear as random server outages while switch ports remain healthy.
  3. A repeatable incident method isolates causes and prevents uncontrolled fixes from introducing new failures.
  4. Tagged VLAN traffic must be permitted end-to-end; routing changes do not repair a missing layer-two VLAN path.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Applying it leads to this operational action: Correct access/trunk VLAN membership and allowed VLAN lists while preserving intended segmentation. The acceptance test is: Only intended VLANs traverse the trunk and test VMs reach their approved peers.

The desired recovery condition is: Only intended VLANs traverse the trunk and test VMs reach their approved peers.

Question 723

Before a server change is approved, the on-call engineer receives this incident report: A newly deployed server cannot reach its database only when traffic crosses a specific tagged VLAN omitted from an uplink trunk. Which evidence would most directly establish the stated root-cause hypothesis? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Capture DHCP offers and ARP announcements, inspect scope exclusions, MAC addresses and gateway options.
  2. Inspect switchport mode, native VLAN, allowed VLAN set, MAC learning and packet tags on the affected uplink.
  3. Trace route tables, firewall session logs, interface captures and asymmetric path metrics.
  4. Convert every trunk to allow all VLANs to avoid diagnosing the missing tenant tag.

Question 725

A change board is planning a verified response to this server event: A newly deployed server cannot reach its database only when traffic crosses a specific tagged VLAN omitted from an uplink trunk. For the Incorrect switch VLAN trunk allowance issue, which response elements belong in the approved plan? Select ONE best answer.
