2V0-21.23 Question 199
Select 2An administrator wants to set up a content library in their vSphere environment to centralize VM templates and other files. The organization requires that the content library be synchronized across multiple vCenter Servers located in different geographic regions. Which type of content library should the administrator create, and what critical configuration should they ensure is enabled?
- A
Create a local content library and enable the 'Publish library externally' option.
- B
Create a subscribed content library and configure it to sync with a remote library.
- C
Create a local content library and ensure the 'Enable content versioning' option is selected.
- D
Create a subscribed content library and ensure the 'Automatically sync library items' option is enabled.
- E
Create a local content library and manually upload the required files to each vCenter Server.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D
Explanation
To set up a content library that is synchronized across multiple vCenter Servers in different regions, the administrator must first create a local content library and enable the 'Publish library externally' option. This allows other vCenter Servers to subscribe to the library. On the other vCenter Servers, a subscribed content library can be created that points to the published library. Enabling the 'Automatically sync library items' option ensures the subscribed library stays updated with the source library content automatically.
- A. Correct.
Correct: A local content library with the 'Publish library externally' option enabled allows other vCenter Servers to subscribe to this library, enabling synchronization across multiple vCenter environments.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: A subscribed content library cannot be created as the primary library. It is used to subscribe to an already existing library, not to set up the initial one.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While enabling 'Enable content versioning' is useful for managing versions of the content library items, it is not directly related to synchronizing libraries across vCenter Servers.
- D. Correct.
Correct: A subscribed content library with 'Automatically sync library items' ensures that the library is kept up to date with the source library without manual intervention.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Manually uploading files to each vCenter Server is error-prone and inefficient. It does not utilize the capabilities of the content library for synchronization.
