VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 65

A VM is created with a thin provisioned disk.
Which two requirements are needed to inflate the disk? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Right click .vmx and select Inflate
• B. Right click .vmdk and select Inflate
• C. Reboot the VM
• D. Power off the VM
• E. Edit the .vmdk file

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

To inflate a thin provisioned disk, the VM must be powered off to ensure that no operations are being performed on the disk. Additionally, the .vmdk file must be right-clicked and selected for inflation, as this action directly modifies the disk's provisioning.
