Correct answers: B, D, E
Explanation
To set up Hybrid Linked Mode using the VMware Cloud Gateway Appliance, it is essential to ensure compatibility between the on-premises vCenter Server and VMware Cloud on AWS, appropriate administrative roles for the user performing the configuration, and proper network connectivity between the environments. While a valid SSL certificate is recommended, it is not a strict requirement, and a dedicated vSphere Distributed Switch is not necessary for the setup.
- A. Incorrect.
A valid SSL certificate is recommended for secure communication but is not a strict prerequisite for setting up Hybrid Linked Mode.
- B. Correct.
The on-premises vCenter Server must be running a version that is compatible with Hybrid Linked Mode to successfully establish the connection.
- C. Incorrect.
A dedicated vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) is not required for the VMware Cloud Gateway Appliance. It can use the existing network infrastructure.
- D. Correct.
The user configuring HLM must have appropriate administrative privileges, including Cloud Administrator and vCenter Single Sign-On (SSO) Administrator roles, to perform the configuration successfully.
- E. Correct.
Network connectivity between the on-premises vCenter Server and VMware Cloud on AWS is a critical prerequisite for communication and integration.
