VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 35

vCenter Server experiences a catastrophic failure and the administrator must restore from a vCenter Server backup stored on an FTP server.
What must the administrator do to restore vCenter Server?

Answer options

• A. Use the vSphere Client to deploy the appliance onto an ESXi host and restore the vCenter Server data from the backup.
• B. Use the vCenter Server Management Interface to restore the vCenter Server data, and power on the appliance.
• C. Use the vCenter Server GUI installer to deploy a vCenter Server instance and use the vSphere Client to restore vCenter Server data from the backup.
• D. Use the vCenter Server GUI installer to deploy a vCenter Server instance and restore the vCenter Server data from the backup.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is correct because it outlines the proper steps to deploy the vCenter Server instance and subsequently restore data from the backup. Option A is incorrect as it doesn't specify the use of the GUI installer for deployment. Option B is also incorrect because it mentions the Management Interface, which is not typically used for this restoration process. Option C suggests using the vSphere Client for restoration, which is not the standard method in this context.
