VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 35

A customer is currently running 153 virtual machines in an eight-node vSphere cluster. Each host is equipped with 256GB RAM, two AMD CPUs and four 10Gb
NICs. Which migration strategy should the administrator recommend?

Answer options

• A. HCX Replication Assisted vMotion (RAV) with Enhanced vMotion Compatibility
• B. HCX Cold Migration
• C. Cross vCenter vMotion with Hybrid Linked Mode
• D. HCX vMotion with Enhanced vMotion Compatibility

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct option, HCX Cold Migration, is ideal for this scenario as it allows for the migration of powered-off VMs without the constraints of ongoing workloads. The other options involve either powered-on VMs or require additional configurations that are unnecessary when VMs are not in use.
