VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 74

An administrator has a requirement to revert a running virtual machine to a previous snapshot af-ter a failed attempt to upgrade an application. When the administrator originally took the snap-shot, the following choices in the Take Snapshot dialog were made:

• Snapshot the virtual machine’s memory = false
• Quiesce guest file system = false

What will be the result of the administrator selecting the “Revert to Latest Snapshot” option to return the virtual machine to a previous snapshot? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The virtual machine will be restored to the parent snapshot
• B. The virtual machine will be restored in a powered off state.
• C. The virtual machine will be restored to the child snapshot
• D. The virtual machine will be restored in a powered on state.
• E. The virtual machine will be restored in a suspended state.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The administrator will revert to the parent snapshot because the memory was not saved, which means the virtual machine cannot be powered on without the current state. As a result, the virtual machine will be in a powered off state since it cannot maintain its running state without the memory snapshot.
