VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 50

Which two storage protocols can a virtual infrastructure operator use to create a VMFS datastore? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. SMB
• B. iSCSI
• C. Fibre Channel
• D. NFS
• E. CIFS

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B (iSCSI) and C (Fibre Channel) because these protocols are specifically designed to support block storage and are compatible with VMFS datastores. Options A (SMB) and E (CIFS) are file-sharing protocols, while D (NFS) is a file-based storage protocol and does not create VMFS datastores.
