VMware 2V0-51.23 Exam Questions

When configuring a virtual machine to use an NVIDIA graphics card, issues such as the VM not starting can occur if there is no suitable host available that meets the requirements for 3D graphics, or if not all memory required by the 3D graphics card has been reserved for the VM. Ensuring that the host has the necessary 3D graphics capabilities and that the VM is configured with reserved memory can resolve these issues.

The URL Content Redirection feature allows administrators to configure specific URLs to open on the client machine or in a remote desktop or published application. This can help reduce the risk of users downloading malware to the corporate network, as well as improve the user experience and performance of certain web applications.

To meet the requirements of the scenario, the administrator needs to enable the URL Content Redirection feature in Horizon Agent when installing or upgrading it on the instant-clone desktops. This will allow Horizon Agent to send or receive URLs from Horizon Client, depending on the redirection direction. The administrator also needs to configure group policy settings to indicate how Horizon Agent redirects the URL. Specifically, the administrator needs to enable agent-to-client redirection, which means that Horizon Agent sends the URL to Horizon Client, which opens the default application for the protocol in the URL on the client machine. The administrator also needs to specify which URLs are redirected from a remote desktop to a client, and which URLs are not redirected. In this case, the administrator needs to configure a whitelist of intranet websites that are allowed to open inside the virtual desktop, and a blacklist of all other websites that are automatically redirected to a browser on the client machine.

The other options are not relevant or sufficient for meeting the requirements. Disabling the Allow External Website feature in Horizon Agent will prevent users from accessing any external websites from their virtual desktops, which might not be desirable or practical. Enabling secure website settings in the Global Settings Security menu will not affect how URLs are redirected, but only how secure connections are established between Horizon components. Enabling the URL Content Redirection feature on the desktop pool settings will not work unless it is also enabled in Horizon Agent and configured with group policy settings.Reference:Configuring URL Content Redirectionand [VMware Horizon 8.x Professional Course]

The administrator can take two actions to make the golden image show up in the Golden Image selection window. First, they can login to the vSphere Client, select the Golden Image virtual machine and create a snapshot. This will make the golden image available in the selection window. Second, they can login to the vSphere Client, select the Golden Image virtual machine and convert it to a template. This will also make the golden image available in the selection window.

A golden image is a virtual machine that contains the operating system, applications, and settings that are required for an instant clone desktop pool. To create an instant clone desktop pool, the administrator must select a golden image and a snapshot from the vSphere inventory.The snapshot must be taken after installing and configuring the Horizon Agent on the golden image1. If there is no snapshot or no template available, the golden image will not show up in the selection window.

The other options are not correct for this scenario:

Login to the vSphere Client, select the Golden Image virtual machine and delete all snapshots. This option is not correct because deleting all snapshots will not make the golden image show up in the selection window.In fact, it will prevent the administrator from creating an instant clone desktop pool, as a snapshot is required for instant cloning2.

Refresh the Select Golden Image view and select the Golden Image. This option is not correct because refreshing the view will not change the availability of the golden image in the selection window. The administrator must create a snapshot or a template of the golden image before it can be selected.

Login to the vSphere Client, select the Golden Image virtual machine and clone it to a new virtual machine. This option is not correct because cloning the golden image to a new virtual machine will not make it show up in the selection window. The administrator must still create a snapshot or a template of the cloned virtual machine before it can be selected.

To join two standalone Horizon pods in a Cloud Pod Architecture (CPA) deployment, the administrator needs to perform the following steps:

On one pod, initialize the CPA. This step creates a pod federation and enables global data replication among all pods in the federation.The pod that initializes the CPA becomes the first pod in the federation67.

On the second pod, join the CPA. This step adds an existing standalone pod to an existing pod federation.The pod that joins the CPA inherits the global data from the federation89.

On one pod, create Global Entitlements, and add local pools from each pod. This step allows users to access desktops or applications from any pod in the federation based on their entitlements and load-balancing policies .

The other options are not correct or complete because:

Initializing the CPA on both pods is not necessary or possible. Only one pod can initialize the CPA and create a pod federation.The other pods must join an existing pod federation68.

Syncing the CPA on the second pod is not a valid step. Syncing is a process that occurs automatically among all pods in a pod federation to ensure data consistency and availability.

Creating Cloud Entitlements is not a valid term. The correct term is Global Entitlements, which are used in CPA to entitle users to desktops or applications across multiple pods.

VMware App Volumes is a real-time application delivery system that allows administrators to assign applications to users and groups in Horizon. App Volumes uses virtual disks called packages to store and deliver applications. When a user logs on to a desktop, the App Volumes agent attaches the assigned packages to the desktop and merges them with the OS disk. The user can then access the applications as if they were natively installed.

App Volumes is a suitable solution for deploying an application to specific users in an instant-clone desktop environment with the following characteristics:

The application needs to be updated very frequently: App Volumes allows administrators to update applications in real time by using the update or push-image operations. These operations replace the existing packages with new ones that have the latest updates applied, without affecting the user data or settings. The updated packages are delivered to the users at the next login or refresh.

The application needs to be installed as soon as possible: App Volumes allows administrators to install applications quickly and easily by using a clean packaging system and capturing the application installation process. The resulting package can be assigned to users or groups immediately, without requiring any recomposing or rebooting of the desktops.

The application is not multi-user aware: App Volumes allows administrators to deliver applications that are not multi-user aware by using writable volumes. Writable volumes are user-specific virtual disks that store user-installed applications, data, and settings. Writable volumes can be attached to desktops along with application packages, and they can isolate the user-installed applications from the system-installed applications.

The other options are not suitable for meeting the requirements:

VMware Horizon Published Application: This option allows administrators to publish applications from RDS hosts to users in Horizon. However, this option requires a separate RDS infrastructure and licensing, and it does not support instant updates or writable volumes for user-installed applications.

VMware Dynamic Environment Manager: This option allows administrators to manage user profiles and policies in Horizon. However, this option does not deliver or update applications, and it does not support writable volumes for user-installed applications.

VMware ThinApp: This option allows administrators to package applications into portable executables that can run on any Windows system without installation. However, this option requires a separate packaging process and licensing, and it does not support instant updates or writable volumes for user-installed applications.
