1Z0-997-25 Question 123
Select 2You have an on-premises VMware vSphere environment that you want to extend into Oracle Cloud VMware Solution (OCVS) to achieve a hybrid cloud for workload migration and disaster recovery. You need to ensure consistent network addressing between on-premises and OCVS for seamless vMotion and replication. Which two steps should you implement to enable secure connectivity and network consistency?
- A
Install and configure HCX in both on-premises vCenter and OCVS for workload migrations and network stretch.
- B
Use the on-premises vCenter only without additional components; it can natively stretch networks to the OCVS SDDC.
- C
Establish a secure connection via IPSec VPN or FastConnect between your on-premises data center and OCI.
- D
Configure new IP subnets in the OCVS environment that are completely different from existing on-premises subnets.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To design and implement a hybrid cloud architecture with Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, it is critical to establish secure connectivity (via VPN or FastConnect) and enable network stretching. VMware HCX is explicitly designed to facilitate both migration (including vMotion) and L2 extension from on-premises to the OCVS software-defined data center. Consult the official Oracle Cloud VMware Solution documentation for detailed guidance on setting up Hybrid Cloud Extension (HCX) and configuring network connectivity for hybrid deployments.
- A. Correct.
Correct. HCX (Hybrid Cloud Extension) is a VMware component that facilitates migration, including Layer 2 network extension, and is commonly used to enable stretched networking between on-premises data centers and OCVS for seamless vMotion.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Native on-premises vCenter alone cannot stretch on-premises networks into OCVS. You need an overlay solution like HCX to enable network extension and live migrations.
- C. Correct.
Correct. You need secure connectivity between the on-premises environment and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to transmit data and enable vMotion or replication. Both IPSec VPN and FastConnect are supported for building the hybrid network.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While you can configure new IP subnets in OCVS, that alone does not enable seamless vMotion with existing IP ranges. If you need consistent IP addressing or live migration, a stretched network solution (e.g., HCX) is required.
