The correct answer is C. Install a new Windows image utilizing a XenServer virtual machine prepared as the master image, install. To design an image management process using XenServer Fast Clone, an architect should prepare a master image on a VM, install the VDA, create a snapshot, and then use that snapshot to deploy new virtual machines.

Question

Scenario: CGE decided to virtualize its server workloads and provide a virtual solution to all of its end users. CGE is looking for an image management process that is scalable, but would like to limit infrastructure requirements. How should the architect design the image management process using XenServer Fast Clone?

Why each option

To design an image management process using XenServer Fast Clone, an architect should prepare a master image on a VM, install the VDA, create a snapshot, and then use that snapshot to deploy new virtual machines.

AInstall a new Windows image utilizing a XenServer virtual machine prepared as the master image.

This option is incomplete, only mentioning the initial image installation and omitting critical steps like VDA installation, snapshot creation, and actual deployment via Fast Clone.

BInstall a new Windows image utilizing a XenServer virtual machine prepared as the master image, install

This option is truncated and does not provide a complete sequence of steps necessary for image management using XenServer Fast Clone.

CInstall a new Windows image utilizing a XenServer virtual machine prepared as the master image, installCorrect

The design process for XenServer Fast Clone involves installing a Windows image on a XenServer virtual machine prepared as the master image, followed by installing the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) within that image. A snapshot of this prepared master image is then taken, which XenServer's Fast Clone feature can efficiently deploy to create multiple new virtual machines that share the base disk.

DInstall a new Windows image utilizing a XenServer virtual machine prepared as the master image, and

This option is truncated and does not provide a complete sequence of steps necessary for image management using XenServer Fast Clone.
