VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 45

An administrator is tasked with migrating a single virtual machine (VM) from an existing VMware vCenter to a secure environment where corporate security policy requires that all VMs be encrypted. The secure environment consists of a dedicated vCenter instance with a 4-node vSphere cluster and already contains a number of encrypted VMs.
Which two steps must the administrator take to ensure the migration is a success? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Ensure that the source and destination vCenter instances share the same Key Management Server (KMS).
• B. Ensure that Encrypted vMotion is turned off for the VM.
• C. Ensure that the VM is encrypted before attempting the migration.
• D. Ensure that the VM is powered off before attempting the migration.
• E. Ensure that the source and destination vCenter Servers have a different Key Management Server (KMS).

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers, A and C, are essential because both vCenter instances must access the same KMS for encryption to function correctly during migration, and the VM must be encrypted to meet security policy requirements. Options B and D do not impact the encryption requirements or the KMS setup, and option E is incorrect as it contradicts the requirement for shared KMS access.
