Answer:- Virtual Volume knew as VVol is a new VM disk management feature concept introduced in vSphere 6.0. It enables array-based operation at the virtual disk level. It is automatically created when a virtual disk is created in a virtual environment.

Answer:- Cluster in VMware is a logical grouping of multi ESXi hosts. It allows you to add or delete the host from the cluster. It also provides a feature like HA, DRS, on the cluster.

Answer:- Some drawbacks of the VMware virtualization platform are: • It requires a considerable investment to buy the resources • High-end server needs which increase the cost. • Different technologies are required for its implementation.

Answer:- Yes, we can do vMotion between two datacenters. However, for this VM should be powered off.

Answer:- RDM is a sort form of Raw Device Mapping. It is a file stored in VMFS volume which acts as a proxy for a raw physical device. It allows you to store virtual machine data directly on LUN.

Answer:- NFS is a Network file system. It is a file sharing protocol which ESXI host used to communicate with the NAS device. It is a specialized store device which connects to a network and can provide file aces service to ESXI hosts.

Answer:- Web-sphere is a tool based on Java and developed by IBM, to manage and create websites.

Answer:- In asymmetric clustering, the partition can be defined dynamically and runs on a single cluster at a time. The task which is particular to an appropriate cluster can be routed to that cluster. Usually, clustering is used by banks.

Answer:- • Node: It is a logical grouping of server processes maintained by WebSphere and that share common configuration and operational control • Nodeagent: Each node has a nodeagent that works along with the deployment manager to manage administration processes. It acts as a mediator between the node and deployment manager • Node Group: A node group is a grouping of nodes within a cell that have same capabilities

Answer:- A cell is referred as a grouping of nodes into a single administrative domain. A cell can have multiple nodes which are all managed from a single point.
