VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator (2025) — Question 5

What is the primary benefit of using HCX Replication Assisted vMotion (RAV) for VM migration?

Answer options

• A. It requires no configuration changes to the VM(s) within the destination environment.
• B. It performs a test migration to ensure compatibility.
• C. It ensures zero downtime to the VM(s).
• D. It provides the fastest migration method by powering off the VM(s) before initiating the migration.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights that HCX RAV allows for VM migration without causing any downtime, which is a significant advantage for uninterrupted service. Option A is incorrect because while RAV simplifies the process, some configuration may still be necessary. Option B is not accurate as RAV does not perform a test migration; it focuses on live migrations. Option D is also incorrect since RAV does not require powering off VMs for migration.
