VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 28
A VM has the following configuration:
✑ 2 vCPU
✑ 4 GB RAM
✑ HDD1 10 GB
✑ HDD2 20 GB
A vSphere Administrator creates a snapshot of a powered off VM.
What is the maximum size of all of the snapshots that can be consumed on the datastore?
Answer options
- A. 30 GB
- B. 100% of the datastore minus 512 bytes
- C. 34 GB
- D. 50% of the datastore
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C, as the maximum snapshot size for a powered-off VM is calculated based on the VM's configured disks. The sum of the disk sizes (10 GB + 20 GB) plus the overhead for the snapshot itself leads to a total of 34 GB. The other options do not accurately reflect the constraints of the snapshot size based on the given VM configuration.
