VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 64

An administrator has been tasked with mitigating datastore capacity issues without datastore expansion.
Which vSphere Storage vMotion migration option would achieve this mitigation?

Answer options

• A. Lazy-zeroed thick-provisioned
• B. Thin-provisioned
• C. Eager-zeroed thick-provisioned
• D. Same as format source

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Thin-provisioned, because it uses only the space that is actually needed, thus optimizing datastore usage. The other options, such as A and C, involve thicker provisioning methods that reserve more space upfront, which would not effectively mitigate capacity issues. Option D does not specify a change in format, which would not help in reducing the used space.
