VMware Site Recovery Manager 8 Specialist — Question 1

A tenant user wants to increase the size of a VM's hard disk in the VMware Cloud Director Tenant Portal.
Which Organization VDC setting can prevent this from actually occurring?

Answer options

• A. Thin provisioning is enabled for the Organization VDC in which the VM is running.
• B. VM Encryption is enabled for the storage policies used by the Organization VDC.
• C. IOPS Limiting is enabled for the Organization VDC in which the VM is running.
• D. Fast Provisioning is enabled for the Organization VDC in which the VM is running.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Fast Provisioning allows for the rapid creation of VMs but can impose limitations on certain operations, such as resizing disks. If Fast Provisioning is enabled, it may restrict the ability to increase a VM's disk size. The other options, while they have their own implications, do not inherently prevent disk resizing in the same way that Fast Provisioning does.
