VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 50

An administrator identifies a snapshot file named `Win10-000001-sesparse.vmdk` on a datastore.
Which type of information can be determined about this datastore?

Answer options

• A. The datastore is formatted as VMFS3.
• B. The datastore is formatted as VMFS6.
• C. The datastore is a raw device mapping.
• D. The datastore is a vSAN datastore.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The presence of a `sesparse` file indicates that the datastore is formatted as VMFS6, as this format supports sparse snapshots. VMFS3 does not support this feature, while raw device mappings and vSAN datastores do not apply to the context of the given snapshot file.
