VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 5

The following requirements were identified in an architecture workshop for a virtual infrastructure design project:
REQ001: All virtual machines must meet the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of twenty-four hours or less in a disaster recovery (DR) scenario.
Which two test cases will verify these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Simulate or trigger an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must be restored within twenty-four hours or less.
• B. Simulate or trigger an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must not lose more than twenty-four hours of data prior to the outage.
• C. Simulate or trigger an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must be restored within four hours or less.
• D. Simulate or trigger an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must not lose more than four hours of data prior to the outage.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct as it directly verifies the RTO requirement of restoring VMs within 24 hours. Option C, while it shows a quicker restoration time, may not be necessary for the requirement specified but still supports the RTO goal. Options B and D focus on data loss rather than the restoration time, thus not addressing the RTO requirement.
