VMware Data Center Virtualization Fundamentals — Question 19

What is the name of the logical volume that vSphere 6.x uses to store virtual machines files?

Answer options

• A. Virtual Volume
• B. Datastore
• C. Logical Unit Number (LUN)
• D. Raw Device Mapping (RDM)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Datastore, which is specifically designed to hold virtual machine files in vSphere environments. Option A, Virtual Volume, refers to a different storage architecture, while C, Logical Unit Number (LUN), is a reference to storage devices rather than a storage unit for files. Option D, Raw Device Mapping (RDM), is used for accessing physical disks directly but does not store VM files by itself.
