VMware vSphere 7.x Delta — Question 67

A vSphere administrator needs to migrate VMs in the same vCenter from New York to California due to impending severe weather.
Which migration should the administrator perform without causing VM downtime?

Answer options

• A. Long Distance vMotion
• B. Storage vMotion
• C. Cold migration
• D. Cross vCenter vMotion

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Long Distance vMotion, which allows for the live migration of VMs across long distances without downtime. Storage vMotion only moves VM storage while keeping the VM running on the same host. Cold migration requires powering off the VM, which results in downtime, and Cross vCenter vMotion is used for migrating VMs between different vCenters, not within the same one.
