A vSphere administrator is installing ESXi 6.7 on a diskless host booting from an onboard 8GB SD card. What should be done to ensure log files are persisted through a host reboot?
A.
Manually create scratch partition on the SD card
B.
By default the log files will be stored on the SD card
C.
Ensure vCenter Dump Collector service is running
D.
Configure the scratch partition to use an available datastore
Answer is D.
ESXi deployed on a Flash or SD device, including a USB key. Scratch partitions are not created on Flash or SD storage devices even if connected during install, due to the potentially limited read/write cycles available.
If I'm reading this article correctly, the correct answer would be B... by default, ESXi would automatically create the scratch space on any device larger than 4GB.
"Note: Scratch space is configured automatically during installation or first boot of an ESXi host, and is not required to be manually configured. ESXi Installable creates a 4 GB Fat16 partition on the target device during installation if there is sufficient space, and if the device is considered Local."
