VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 53

Which two statements are true about deploying and using vSphere Replication? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. ESXi hosts managed by a single vCenter Server instance require a connection between the two vSphere Replication appliances.
• B. Sites managed by different vCenter Server instances require a connection between the two vSphere Replication appliances.
• C. Sites managed by different vCenter Server instances require the use of Site Recovery Manager and a connection between the two vSphere Replication appliances.
• D. ESXi hosts managed by a single vCenter Server instance require a single vSphere Replication appliance.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because when different vCenter Server instances manage sites, a connection between their vSphere Replication appliances is essential for replication. Option D is also correct, as a single vSphere Replication appliance is sufficient for ESXi hosts managed by one vCenter Server. Options A and C are incorrect because they misrepresent the requirements for vSphere Replication connections between appliances in the context of single and multiple vCenter Server instances.
