VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 4

In a single cluster VM encryption scenario, which two VMs should be excluded from encryption? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Platform Services Controller
• B. vSphere Replication Appliance
• C. vRealize Operations Manager
• D. VMware vCenter Server
• E. vRealize Log Insight

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The vSphere Replication Appliance (B) and VMware vCenter Server (D) should be excluded from encryption because they are critical for managing the cluster and replication processes. Encrypting these VMs could lead to operational issues, as they require constant access to certain configurations and data that encryption may complicate.
