2V0-21.23 Question 404
Select 3You are tasked with migrating a virtual machine (VM) from one vCenter Server to another using Cross vCenter vMotion. The VM is running, and the source and destination vCenter Servers are in different Single Sign-On (SSO) domains. Which of the following requirements must be met for the migration to succeed?
- A
Both vCenter Servers must be running version 6.0 or later.
- B
The VM must be on shared storage accessible to both vCenter Servers.
- C
A Layer 2 network connection must exist between the source and destination ESXi hosts.
- D
The source and destination vCenter Servers must have Enhanced Linked Mode configured.
- E
The ESXi hosts at both source and destination must support vMotion.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
Cross vCenter vMotion enables live migration of VMs between vCenter Servers, even if they are in different SSO domains. Key requirements include vCenter version 6.0 or later, a Layer 2 network connection between the participating ESXi hosts, and vMotion support on both hosts. Shared storage and Enhanced Linked Mode are not mandatory for this operation.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Cross vCenter vMotion is supported in vCenter Server 6.0 and later versions. Both source and destination vCenter Servers must meet this requirement.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Cross vCenter vMotion does not require shared storage since it uses network-based migration to move the VM's files.
- C. Correct.
Correct. A Layer 2 network connection between the source and destination ESXi hosts is necessary for vMotion traffic to flow properly.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Enhanced Linked Mode is not a requirement for Cross vCenter vMotion. Different SSO domains are supported as long as a proper network connection exists.
- E. Correct.
Correct. Both source and destination ESXi hosts must support vMotion to facilitate the migration of the running VM.
