Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v5 — Question 41

What is the key advantage of cloning a VM?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because cloning a VM allows for the rapid creation of multiple identical instances, which saves significant time. Option A is incorrect because cloning does not inherently improve performance. Option B is misleading since snapshots serve a different purpose than cloning. Option D is incorrect as running multiple VMs with the same IP address can lead to network conflicts.
