VCP-VMC 2024 Question 131
Select 3You are tasked with deploying VMware HCX in a hybrid cloud environment to enable workload mobility between an on-premises data center and a VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC. During the deployment process, which steps must you complete to successfully deploy and configure the HCX appliances?
- A
Deploy the HCX Manager appliance on both on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS.
- B
Pair the HCX Managers in the on-premises site and VMware Cloud on AWS site.
- C
Manually configure the HCX Interconnect appliances without using the HCX Manager interface.
- D
Deploy the HCX WAN Optimization appliance if bandwidth optimization is required.
- E
Enable HCX Mobility Optimized Networking (MON) before deploying the HCX appliances.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To successfully deploy VMware HCX appliances, both on-premises and cloud HCX Managers must be deployed and paired to establish a connection between the environments. Additional HCX appliances, such as WAN Optimization, may be deployed if required for specific use cases. The entire process is managed via the HCX Manager interface. HCX MON is a post-deployment feature that is configured after the HCX infrastructure is in place.
- A. Correct.
Correct: HCX Manager must be deployed at both the on-premises site and the VMware Cloud on AWS site to enable site pairing and establish communication between the environments.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Site pairing is a mandatory step to establish a connection between the on-premises HCX Manager and the VMware Cloud on AWS HCX Manager.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: HCX Interconnect appliances are deployed and configured directly via the HCX Manager interface, not manually.
- D. Correct.
Correct: The HCX WAN Optimization appliance is optional but recommended when bandwidth optimization is required for workload migration.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: HCX Mobility Optimized Networking (MON) is configured after HCX is deployed and paired, not before appliance deployment.
