Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2021 — Question 130

A company needs several VMware thick provisioned VMs restored. The physical proxies used for restoration have access to the Fibre Channel datastores used by VMware. Which transport mode will be used by default to restore these VMs?

Answer options

• A. Network mode
• B. Virtual appliance
• C. Quick Migration
• D. Direct Storage Access

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Direct Storage Access is the default transport mode in this scenario as it allows for efficient restoration directly from the Fibre Channel datastores without the need for data to traverse the network. The other options, such as Network mode and Virtual appliance, are not optimal for this setup due to their reliance on network resources rather than direct access to storage.
