VCP exam question - the difference between the file exchange and the swap partition?

I am currently a student at my VCP and stumbled upon a question and was hoping someone could explain the answer offered.  Essentially the question is asking why you must manually create a local VMFS volume.  The possible answers were: files of storage for the service console log, decentralized storage for all the vmkernel vmkernel swap activity Exchange files for virtual machines that are configured locally and swap files from service console for the console service RAM overcommitment.

It is my understanding that the swap partition has its own format.  When you create the necessary partitions for installing ESX format the swap partition is 'swap', not vmfs or ext - 3.  Then, because the last three options are to swap/activity files, I chose the first choice, storage for the service console logs.  This study guide says I'm wrong and the answer is VMKernel swap files for virtual machines that are configured locally.   Of course, Miss me something here...

How you store Exchange files on VMFS partition?  I thought that the swap partition is the only place to have to Exchange files, and then it is on its own partition.  You cannot store a partition on a partition.

Maybe it's the difference between a swap file and a swap partition which is tripping me?

Search for, swap space as it is usually is a place to store a replica of memory the system for the purpose of managing memory better (usually data that are accessed most often).

SWAP PARTITION is now, for the ESX SWAP space.

And the EXCHANGE FILE is for some particular VM swap space that can be used by the guest operating system. The use of this file is managed by VMkernel. Now, this swap file has some different features from the windows of i.e normal swap, linux or ESX swap space space.

  • Difference between nio-file manager and nio-memory-manager

    Hello
    What is the difference between nio-file manager and memory manager Ian? The documentation is not really discuss the differences as far as I know. They all use two nio to store files mapped into memory Don't they? What are the advantages/disadvantages of both?

    When to choose the first and when the second during the storage of a large amount of data? Can be used to query data with the filter API? Are there any size limits on both?

    Best regards
    Jan

    Hi Jan,

    The difference is that one uses a memory-mapped file and used memory direct nio (as part of the memory allocated by the JVM process) to store data. Both allow data cached out-of-heap storage, which can store more data with a knot of unique cache (FMV) without long GC pauses.
    If you use a 32-bit JAVA virtual machine, JVM process will be limited to a total of ~ 3 on Windows and 4 GB on Linux/Solaris. This includes lots and out of the stack of memory allocation.

    Regarding the size of the limitations for the Manager of files-Ian, please see the doc the following for more information.
    With version 3.5, now is the idea of a Partitioned card support that allows to create more large (up to 8 GB of capacity) for storage of nio. Please refer to the following, doc.

    Both can be used to query the data, but it is worth noting that the index will be stored in the heap.

  • What is the difference between HP Photo Creations and Snapfish

    I've been curious.

    What is the difference between HP Photo Creations and Snapfish?

    Hi Jeff17866. The difference between these two services are the location, accessibility and share-ability of the recorded images. Snapfish is a photo on the web edition and sharing and belonged to printing HP service. You upload your images on the Snapfish site and share with other sites (Facebook, Flickr, etc) by selecting the appropriate options. The images are then stored on the cloud, and you will be able to access it from any device with Internet access. So, if you want to easily share your photos with your friends and family around the country, Snapfish is a great tool to do. HP Photo Creations is a photo editing software that you download to your desktop. You can edit your photos and order prints just as with Snapfish, but all pictures remain on your hard drive. They can be shared by downloading files on the sites you want the images appear, but you are not able to access it on other devices. -Chauntain

  • What is the most important difference between 3D Picture control and controlling the display of Simulator

    I want to create a simulation of 3D on the front panel, and I see that we can use a 3D image control or a display of Simulator control. It seems that each of them can be used at the same position. What is the most important difference between 3D Picture control and display of Simulator?

    Hi sfh1,

    You are right, I found examples of Robotics that use 3D photo control and display Simulator control to display a scene 3D on the front panel. After further research, it seems that control the display of Simulator adds additional features compared to the 3D picture control. The control displays Simulator allows the user to right-click control during execution and change the background color, draw fashion, draw contact, view the ID of robot, display sensor data, suspension of service Simulator and reset service Simulator.

    More in depth on these options and the display of control Simulator can be found here:

    There is no difference in the product itself.

    Although if you get a generic OEM full version, it contains the
    even software, it has the following disadvantages compared to the
    commercial version:

    1. the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is
    that its license it permanently binds to the first computer, it is
    installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold,
    or given (except with the original computer). If the computer
    dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

    2. he can't do a clean install, not an upgrade.

    3 Microsoft offers no support for OEM versions. You cannot call their
    with a problem, but rather to secure the necessary support of your
    OEM; who take in charge may go anywhere between property and non-existent. Or
    You can get support elsewhere, like in these forums.

  • What is the difference between CTS-PRJTR-GEN1 and GEN2?

    Hi, I want to know the difference CTS-PRJTR-GEN1 and GEN2-PRJTR-CTS.

    Is GEN sense "generation"?

    GEN is used for production in this case. We had 1 generation projectors from the start and as you might have been replaced by the generation 2. The difference between these projectors GEN1 and GEN2 were model types.

    CTS-PRJTR-GEN1 was a Sanyo PLV - Z4 or Z5

    CTS-PRJTR-GEN2 was a Sanyo PLV-Z700

    I hope this helps you.
