Each municipal rack server that runs civic virtual machines hosts a vSphere hypervisor kernel. Which vSphere component is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The kernel on the rack server is ESXi—the hypervisor that actually runs the civic VMs. vCenter manages many of those hosts, NSX Manager manages the virtual network, and a vSAN witness is a quorum appliance, not the host kernel.
Full Explanation
ESXi is the vSphere hypervisor installed on physical servers. It is the component that hosts virtual machines on each municipal rack server. vCenter Server is the management plane for those hosts and is not the on-host kernel. NSX Manager is the NSX management plane. A vSAN witness appliance participates in stretched-cluster quorum and is not the hypervisor.
