VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 25

Which setting should be used to exclude one hard disk from VM snapshots?

Answer options

• A. Thin Provision disk type
• B. Dependent disk mode
• C. Independent disk mode
• D. Passthrough device mode

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct option is C, Independent disk mode, which allows a virtual machine to use a disk that is not captured in snapshots. The other options, such as Thin Provision disk type and Dependent disk mode, do not provide this exclusion from snapshots, and Passthrough device mode is typically used for direct access to physical disks, not for snapshot management.
