Veeam Certified Engineer (VMCE) 2020 — Question 11

A company has outgrown their current data center and plans to use the second data center as the new primary and needs to migrate their workloads. They are running VMware in both data centers. Which steps would allow this migration to occur without any data loss?

Answer options

• A. 1. Replication job 2. Failover plan 3. Permanent failover
• B. 1. Backup job 2. Instant VM Recovery 3. Finalize the Instant VM Recovery
• C. 1. Replication job 2. Failback 3. Commit failback
• D. 1. Replication job 2. Planned failover 3. Permanent failover

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, outlines the necessary steps for a seamless migration by first replicating the workloads, then executing a failover plan, and finally making the failover permanent. Options B and C focus on recovery processes that may not ensure zero data loss during migration, while D, although similar to A, specifies a planned failover which may not cover unexpected issues as effectively as a comprehensive failover plan.
