VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 43

An administrator notices a virtual machine named vm01 is missing from the inventory, but the configuration files can be located.
Which file should the administrator click on to register the VM?

Answer options

• A. vm01.nvram
• B. vm01.vmx
• C. vm01.vmsd
• D. vm01.vmdk

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct file to register a virtual machine is the .vmx file, which contains the VM's configuration settings. The .nvram file stores the state of the VM's BIOS, the .vmsd file holds metadata about the VM, and the .vmdk file is the virtual disk file, none of which can be used to register the VM.
