VMware vSphere 7.x Professional for Service Providers — Question 43

A vSphere administrator needs to migrate VMs in the same vCenter from New York to California due to impending severe weather.
Which migration should the administrator perform without causing VM downtime?

Answer options

• A. Cold migration
• B. Long Distance vMotion
• C. Cross vCenter vMotion
• D. Storage vMotion

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Long Distance vMotion, as it allows VMs to be migrated across long distances without downtime. The other options, such as Cold migration and Storage vMotion, either require the VMs to be powered off or do not support long-distance migrations, which makes them unsuitable for this scenario.
