VMware vSphere 7.x Delta — Question 72

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 .vmx, as this file contains the configuration settings for a virtual machine, including encryption settings. The .vmdk file is used for the virtual disk, vmsd holds metadata for snapshots, and .nvram stores the state of the virtual machine's BIOS, none of which include encryption settings.
