2V0-21.23 Question 198
Single answerAn administrator is tasked with setting up a content library in a vSphere environment to share VM templates with other vCenter Server instances. The administrator wants to ensure that the templates are always synchronized with minimal effort. Which configuration should the administrator implement?
- A
Create a local content library and enable the 'Publish externally' option.
- B
Create a subscribed content library and enable the 'Download all library content immediately' option.
- C
Create a local content library and manually upload the VM templates.
- D
Create a subscribed content library and choose the 'Synchronize library content when needed' option.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To share VM templates and ensure synchronization with minimal effort, a local content library must be created and published externally. This configuration allows other vCenter Server instances to subscribe to the library, automating the synchronization process. Subscribed content libraries are used for consuming shared content, not for sharing it.
- A. Correct.
Correct. A local content library with the 'Publish externally' option allows the library to share templates with other vCenter Server instances. This ensures synchronization without requiring manual effort.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. A subscribed content library is used to consume content from another library, not to share it. The 'Download all library content immediately' option controls how content is retrieved, not shared.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While manually uploading VM templates is an option for a local library, it does not automate sharing or synchronization.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. A subscribed content library is typically for consuming content and would not facilitate sharing templates with others. The 'Synchronize library content when needed' option only determines when content is downloaded.
