2V0-21.23 Question 451
Single answerAn administrator is tasked with configuring vMotion encryption properties for virtual machines in a vSphere 8.0 environment. The organization has strict compliance requirements mandating that all VM data must be encrypted during vMotion. The administrator wants to ensure the appropriate encryption settings are applied. Which vMotion encryption setting should the administrator choose to meet the compliance requirements?
- A
Disabled
- B
Opportunistic
- C
Required
- D
Secure Boot Only
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
'Required' is the correct choice because it enforces encryption for all vMotion traffic, ensuring compliance with the organization's strict requirements for encrypting VM data during migrations. Other options either do not guarantee encryption or are unrelated to vMotion encryption.
- A. Incorrect.
Selecting 'Disabled' means encryption will not be used for vMotion traffic. This does not meet the compliance requirements for encrypting VM data during vMotion.
- B. Incorrect.
'Opportunistic' allows encryption only if both the source and destination hosts support it, but it does not guarantee encryption. This setting does not fully meet the compliance requirements for mandatory encryption.
- C. Correct.
'Required' ensures that encryption is always used for vMotion traffic, meeting the compliance requirements for encrypting VM data during vMotion.
- D. Incorrect.
'Secure Boot Only' is unrelated to vMotion encryption and is instead a setting used for ensuring VMs boot securely. This does not apply to the scenario.
