VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 50

An administrator needs to identify where the VM encryption settings are stored.
Which file stores the encryption setting?

Answer options

• A. .vmdk
• B. .vmsd
• C. .nvram
• D. .vmx

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, .vmx, as this file contains the configuration settings for the virtual machine, including encryption settings. The .vmdk file is for virtual disk storage, .vmsd is for VM snapshots, and .nvram holds the state of the virtual machine's BIOS, none of which store encryption configurations.
