VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 82

A vSphere administrator needs to quickly move a critical VM from an AMD-cluster to an Intel-cluster.
How can the vSphere administrator move the VM?

Answer options

• A. vSphere Storage vMotion
• B. vSphere encrypted vMotion
• C. vSphere vMotion
• D. Cold Migration

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Cold Migration, which allows the VM to be moved between different hardware architectures, such as from AMD to Intel. Options A and C, vSphere Storage vMotion and vSphere vMotion, are used for moving VMs without downtime but do not support changes in CPU architecture. Option B, vSphere encrypted vMotion, is used for encrypting data in transit and does not apply to the migration process between different CPU types.
