VMware Updated 2V0-17.25 Exam Questions and Answers by yasir

VCF 9.0 introduces Log Data Transfer initiated from VCF Operations . The docs say: “ You can transfer log data for up to 90 days from Aria Operations for Logs 8.x… The migrated logs are stored in VCF Operations for logs. ” and “ To transfer logs… navigate to the Logs Data Transfer card in Administration > Control Panel… click the INITIATE TRANSFER button… You can select the duration of logs to transfer… ” (emphasis added).

They further clarify that simple forwarding does not transfer already ingested logs : “ Forward logs… does not transfer already ingested logs. Transfer historical logs up to 90 days… using the Log Data Transfer feature in VCF Operations. ”

Hence, the correct action is to initiate the transfer in VCF Operations (Administration > Control Panel > Logs Data Transfer) .

===========

The VCF 9.0 Kubernetes Service documentation confirms that Antrea is the default CNI used for VMware Kubernetes Service (VKS) workload clusters.

“ When deploying a new VKS workload cluster, the Antrea Container Networking Interface is automatically enabled by default to provide pod-to-pod and pod-to-service networking. Antrea is fully integrated with NSX-T for advanced policy control. ”

Flannel, Calico, and Cilium are widely used CNIs in upstream Kubernetes but are not the default in VCF. Administrators can optionally integrate with third-party CNIs, but the supported default choice is Antrea .

The VCF 9.0 Automation Guide details the use of Property Groups to standardize blueprint inputs and constants across projects. Property Groups allow administrators to define sets of inputs (like size, os, location) and constants (like salt master id) centrally, ensuring consistency across deployments.

The correct actions are:

Create a new Property Group for input properties (C) to capture the standard inputs (size, os, location).

Create a new Property Group for constant properties (E) to include items like the salt master id.

Update all existing blueprints in the production project with the new Property Groups (F) to enforce standardization across new and existing workloads.

Options A and B are incorrect because changes are not required in the appdev project or across the entire organization—only the production project. Option D is redundant since inputs and constants should be separated into distinct groups.

In a two-node vSAN cluster , a third component called a witness host is required to provide quorum and prevent split-brain scenarios. The VMware vSAN documentation states:

“A two-node vSAN cluster requires a witness host to maintain cluster quorum. The witness can be either a dedicated physical ESXi host or a vSAN Witness Appliance deployed as a virtual appliance.”

Valid witness options:

Physical ESXi Host (A) – A dedicated host that participates only as a witness and does not store data.

vSAN Witness Appliance (B) – A preconfigured virtual appliance provided by VMware that runs ESXi and serves as the witness host.

Incorrect options:

VCF Operations appliance (C) is for monitoring and analytics.

VCF Installer (D) is used for deployment workflows.

vCenter appliance (E) manages the cluster but does not act as a witness.

Therefore, the two correct options are Physical ESX Host and vSAN Witness Appliance .
