Single answerYour organization has recently acquired VMware HCX to facilitate workload mobility between an on-premises vSphere environment and a VMware Cloud on AWS SDDC. The HCX Manager appliance has been deployed successfully on both sites. What is the next step to ensure successful configuration of HCX services and establish connectivity between the sites?
- A
Deploy the HCX Interconnect and HCX WAN Optimization appliances at both sites.
- B
Establish a Site Pairing between the on-premises HCX Manager and the VMware Cloud HCX Manager.
- C
Configure an HCX Network Profile for each site to define the management and uplink network settings.
- D
Enable HCX Mobility Optimized Networking (MON) to optimize routes for migrated VMs.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
After deploying the HCX Manager appliances at both the on-premises and cloud sites, the next critical step is establishing site pairing between the two HCX Managers. This creates the connection required for managing and deploying HCX services like service appliances and workload migrations. Without site pairing, further configurations such as network profiles or appliance deployments cannot proceed.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The HCX Interconnect and WAN Optimization appliances are deployed after configuring site pairing and network profiles.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Site pairing is the next step after deploying the HCX Manager appliances. It establishes connectivity between the source and destination sites, enabling further configurations.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Configuring HCX Network Profiles is done after site pairing to define the management and uplink network settings for HCX services.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. HCX Mobility Optimized Networking (MON) is an optional configuration step for optimizing routes after workloads have been migrated.
