VMware vSphere 6 Advanced Design (VCAP6-DCV Design) — Question 56

A customer wants to make its data available with a RPO of 10 minutes. Replication to the second data center will be done using the network. Which type of storage configuration should be used?

Answer options

• A. NFS datastore on ESXi 6.0 with vSphere replication appliance 6.0
• B. VMFS datastore on ESXi 6.0 with vSphere replication appliance 6.5
• C. vSAN datastore on ESXi 6.0 with vSphere replication appliance 6.5
• D. VMFS datastore on ESXi 6.0 with vSphere replication appliance 6.0

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as it specifies a VMFS datastore with the appropriate vSphere replication appliance version to meet the 10-minute RPO requirement. Options A and D are similar, but D is the only one aligned with the specified replication appliance version. Options B and C use a later version of the replication appliance, which may not be compatible with the ESXi version specified.
