VMware tools are nothing but Drivers used for the enhanced
performance of the VM (like mouse, keybord, ect.) and used in HA.
This option must be selected; else new clone will be same as the
parent clone.

Fault Tolerance provides zero down time, zero data loss and
continues availability of the applications.
Fixed Patch Baseline: - In this type of base line, you manually specify
which patches to include in the fixed patch baseline from the total
set of patches available in the Update Manager repository.
110) in how many ways can you upgrade Esx server and
How?
Let us discuss the case of upgrading VCenter server from 4.1 to 5.0
While installing the VCS 4.1 you will be asked to give the data
source name. DSN is used to establish the connection to the data
base. Give the DSN by using native client. Preserve that DSN name
safely.
Install multiple ESX and VMs in the VCS.
Again install VCS5.0 in any of the machines and use the same DSN
as used while installing 4.1.
Make sure you copy the SSL certificates to the new server folder.
Crash or power of the 4.1 machine
Login to the machine of 5.0, you can see the ESX servers and VMs
running in it.
115) what are operating systems that support hot add and
hot plug?
135) what is the difference between Esx top and resx top?
The fundamental difference between resx top and Esx top is that
you can use resx top remotely, where as you can start Esx top only
through the service console of a local Esx host.
136) what are the CPU parameters to check and what they
mean?
Hostd: -The hostd process runs directly on the Esxi host and is
responsible for managing most of the operations on the Esxi host.
Vpxd: -Vpxd is a process which runs on the VCenter server.
Vpxa: -Vpxa is a VCenter agent. It acts as an intermediary between
vpxd and hostd.

Here in the command, to extend the vmdk file with 10GB file, now
my total file size would be 20GB.
Vmkfstools -X 10GB <path to vmdk>
The command used to configure only to download the host patch is:
Vmware umds.exe--set-config -enable host1 -enable win0 -enable
The command used to start the download patch is:
Vmware umds.exe -download
To set the path where the patches to be stored:
Vmware umds.exe -set-config path c: \download
172) what is the command used to list all the network cards?
esxcfg nics -l
