Question

Which of the following is a correct hardware prerequisite for ESXi 6?

A) 2 GB of RAM.
B) 500 MHz single-core CPU.
C) 10 GB of available disk space.
D) A floppy disk drive.

Answer 1

The correct hardware prerequisite for ESXi 6 is 10 GB of available disk space. Options regarding RAM, CPU, and a floppy disk drive are incorrect as they do not meet the minimum requirements for the installation of ESXi 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct hardware prerequisite for VMware ESXi 6 installation is C) 10 GB of available disk space.

A minimum of 4 GB RAM is required (making option A incorrect), and ESXi 6 requires at least a 1.5 GHz Intel x86 or AMD processor (making option B incorrect). Option D, a floppy disk drive, is not a requirement for modern server installations such as ESXi 6, making this option also incorrect.

Answer 2

The correct hardware prerequisite for ESXi 6 installation is at least 10 GB of available disk space (Option C).

Step-by-step explanation:

VMware ESXi is a hypervisor, that allows for the virtualization of servers, and to install ESXi 6.0 or later, VMware specifies that at least 10 GB of available disk space is required. Although more RAM, a more robust CPU, and some additional hardware features could be necessary depending on the specific use case or workloads you plan to run on the hypervisor, the most basic installation requires this amount of disk space.

Thus, the correct hardware prerequisite for ESXi 6 is C) 10 GB of available disk space.
