VMware Data Center Virtualization Fundamentals — Question 13

In what two situations would an administrator use Storage vMotion? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. To create new virtual machines in the host.
• B. To bring powered-down hosts back online.
• C. To select separate locations for the virtual machine disk files.
• D. To migrate virtual machines from one datastore to another.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C and D because Storage vMotion is specifically designed to move virtual machine disk files to different locations and to transfer virtual machines between datastores without downtime. Options A and B are not relevant to the functionality of Storage vMotion, as they pertain to creating new VMs and powering on hosts, which do not involve migrating existing VM disk files.
