CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-001) — Question 10

An administrator is provisioning a new VM that will host tape backup software. The VM will need to communicate with a tape library that is connected to the host via multimode fiber. Which of the following interfaces will need to be provisioned on the VM in order to communicate with the tape library?

Answer options

• A. vNIC
• B. vSwitch
• C. vHBA
• D. FCoE

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, vNIC, as it is necessary for the VM to establish network connectivity. The other options, such as vSwitch and vHBA, are related to network and storage connectivity but do not directly provide the VM with the necessary network interface for communication. FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) is also not applicable in this scenario since the VM needs a virtual network interface specifically.
