1Z0-1123-25 Question 61
Single answerYour company is migrating its on-premises VMware environment to Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (OCVS). The leadership team wants to minimize downtime and preserve the existing IP addresses for virtual machines during the migration. Which approach best meets these requirements?
- A
Export and import all virtual machines (VMs) as OVA files into OCVS clusters
- B
Use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Block Volume replication to synchronize on-premises VMs
- C
Leverage VMware HCX with Replication Assisted vMotion to migrate workloads seamlessly
- D
Set up a bare metal compute instance with manually configured VPN tunnels to maintain IPs
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
VMware HCX is the recommended technology for migrating VMware environments to Oracle Cloud VMware Solution with minimal business disruption. HCX provides advanced features�like network extension and replication assisted vMotion�that help preserve IP addresses and ensure minimal downtime. Refer to the official Oracle documentation on 'Migrating VMware Workloads to OCVS' for detailed guidance and best practices.
- A. Incorrect.
Option 1: Export and import as OVA files is a basic approach, but it typically requires VMs to be powered off, which can cause extended downtime and does not preserve IP addresses automatically.
- B. Incorrect.
Option 2: OCI Block Volume replication is focused on replicating block storage volumes, not an entire VMware environment. It does not integrate native vSphere constructs like vMotion or handle preserving VM networking configurations automatically.
- C. Correct.
Option 3: VMware HCX with Replication Assisted vMotion is designed specifically for migrating workloads from on-premises VMware to OCVS. It automates replication, reduces downtime, and can preserve existing IP addresses through the network extension feature.
- D. Incorrect.
Option 4: A bare metal compute instance with VPN tunnels may help connect on-premises and cloud environments, but it does not provide a seamless or automated VMware migration with minimal downtime or ensure IP address continuity.
