VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 55

An administrator is asked to copy a single hard disk from one datastore to another.
Which virtual machine file type should the administrator select?

Answer options

• A. vmss
• B. vswp
• C. vmdk
• D. vmx

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, vmdk, as this file type represents the virtual disk of a virtual machine. The other options, such as vmss (suspended state), vswp (swap file), and vmx (configuration file), do not contain the actual disk data that needs to be copied.
