CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 260

A data center has 4U rack servers that need to be replaced using VMs but without losing any data. Which of the following methods will MOST likely be used to replace these servers?

Answer options

• A. VMFS
• B. Unattended scripted OS installation
• C. P2V
• D. VM cloning

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, P2V (Physical to Virtual), which allows for the migration of physical servers to virtual machines without losing data. The other options, such as VM cloning, do not involve converting physical servers into virtual ones and are not suited for this scenario, while VMFS and unattended scripted installations do not directly address the replacement of physical servers with VMs.
