a) Virtual SMP
b) Distributed Resource Scheduler
c) vNetwork Distributed Switch
d) Storage VMotion

Answer: a
Clarification: The virtualization layer that abstracts processing, memory, and storage uses the VMware ESX or ESXi virtualization server.

2. Point out the wrong statement.
a) Some hypervisors are installed over an operating system and are referred to as Type 2 or hosted VM
b) All CPUs support virtual machines
c) On a Type 2 VM, a software interface is created that emulates the devices with which a system would normally interact
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: b
Clarification: Not all CPUs support virtual machines and many that do require that you enable this support in the BIOS.

3. Which of the following type of virtualization is found in hypervisor such as Microsoft’s Hyper-V?
a) paravirtualization
b) full virtualization
c) emulation
d) none of the mentioned

Answer: a
Clarification: It is the host operating system that is performing the I/O through a para-API.

4. In _______ the virtual machine simulates hardware, so it can be independent of the underlying system hardware.
a) paravirtualization
b) full virtualization
c) emulation
d) none of the mentioned

Answer: c
Clarification: A guest operating system using emulation does not need to be modified in any way.

5. Point out the wrong statement.
a) Full virtualization requires that the host operating system provide a virtual machine interface for the guest operating system and that the guest access hardware through that host VM
b) Guest operating systems in full virtualization systems are generally faster than other virtualization schemes
c) A process virtual machine instantiates when a command begins a process
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: a
Clarification: An operating system running as a guest on a paravirtualization system must be ported to work with the host interface.

6. In a ____________ scheme, the VM is installed as a Type 1 Hypervisor directly onto the hardware.
