VMware Site Recovery Manager (2025) — Question 2

An administrator needs to scale out the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Automation node from a small to a medium form factor. The environment is currently deployed using the Simple VCF Automation Model.
Which action should the administrator take to achieve this?

Answer options

• A. Scale up the VCF Automation node to medium form factor using VCF Operations Console.
• B. Deploy a separate VCF Automation instance in the environment.
• C. Scale out the VCF Automation deployment to a High Availability model with medium form factor.
• D. Redeploy the VCF Automation node as a single medium form factor using the VCF Operations Console.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because scaling out to a High Availability model is necessary to meet the medium form factor requirements while ensuring redundancy. Option A is incorrect as it suggests scaling up rather than scaling out. Option B does not address the need to change the existing deployment to a medium form factor, and option D suggests redeploying as a single instance, which does not provide the benefits of High Availability.
