1Z0-1123-25 Question 64
Select 2A healthcare services provider is planning a staged migration of their on-premises VMware environment to Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (OCVS). They have strict requirements for data locality, security, and minimal downtime. The on-premises environment is connected to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) via FastConnect. Which two actions should you recommend to ensure a successful OCVS migration with minimal service disruption?
- A
Implement VMware HCX with Replication Assisted vMotion (RAV) to migrate VMware workloads to OCVS in stages
- B
Deploy multiple software-defined data centers (SDDCs) in OCVS to isolate production, staging, and development workloads
- C
Use the same IP address space for your on-premises data center and OCVS environment to simplify network routing
- D
Manually convert all virtual machines to new OCI shapes before migrating them to OCVS
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
VMware HCX is the recommended tool for workload and network migration between on-prem and OCVS, enabling live or near-live transfers with minimal downtime. Deploying multiple SDDCs is a common design pattern for isolating environments and meeting strict security or compliance needs, particularly in regulated industries such as healthcare. Using different IP subnets and avoiding VM reformatting are part of Oracle� best practices for a seamless and efficient migration. Refer to Oracle Cloud VMware Solution documentation and VMware HCX guides for detailed planning and implementation steps.
- A. Correct.
Correct. VMware HCX with Replication Assisted vMotion (RAV) allows you to migrate VMs in waves with minimal downtime. It also supports network extension and live vMotion, reducing service disruption.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Deploying multiple SDDCs in OCVS separates production and non-production environments, enhancing security, minimizing risk, and complying with strict data locality requirements.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Using identical IP ranges on-prem and in OCVS can cause painful overlaps and routing conflicts. Most best practices recommend planning distinct IP subnets to avoid IP conflicts.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. One major advantage of OCVS is that it runs native VMware software stacks. You do not need to convert VMs into different shapes or formats; they can be moved directly without manual conversion.
