Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v4 — Question 89

What is a key advantage of cloning a virtual machine (VM)?

Answer options

• A. Ability to run new VMs simultaneously with the same IP address.
• B. Reduces the time required to create multiple copies of a VM.
• C. Improves the performance of an existing VM and new VMs.
• D. Eliminates the need to create multiple snapshots for a VM.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, highlights that cloning a VM streamlines the process of creating additional VMs, saving time. Option A is incorrect because VMs should not share the same IP address to avoid network conflicts. Option C is misleading as cloning does not inherently improve performance, and Option D is incorrect since snapshots serve a different purpose and are not eliminated by cloning.
