VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 50

The following requirements were identified in an architecture workshop for a virtual infrastructure design project:
REQ001: All virtual machines must satisfy the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of fifteen (15) minutes or less in a disaster recovery (DR) situation.
REQ002: Service level availability must satisfy 99,999% measured yearly.
Which two test cases will validate these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Simulate or invoke an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must not lose more than one (1) hour of data prior to the outage.
• B. Simulate or invoke an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must not lose more than fifteen (15) minutes of data prior to the outage.
• C. Simulate or invoke an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must be restored within fifteen (15) minutes or less.
• D. Simulate or invoke an outage of the primary datacenter. All virtual machines must be restored within one (1) hour or less.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Option B is correct because it meets the RPO requirement of fifteen (15) minutes or less by ensuring no more than fifteen (15) minutes of data loss. Option C is also correct as it addresses the requirement for timely restoration of virtual machines within the same fifteen (15) minutes. Options A and D fail to satisfy the RPO requirement, allowing for excessive data loss and restoration times.
