The correct answer is C. Perform a full initial synchronization of the source virtual machine to the target location. To protect an online database server using vSphere Replication with snapshots, the administrator must complete a full initial synchronization. This step establishes the base replica at the target site before ongoing snapshot-based replication can begin.

Administrative and Operational Tasks

Question

An administrator is tasked with looking into the disaster recovery options for protecting a database server using VMware vSphere Replication. The following requirements must be met:

  • The virtual machine must remain online during the protection.
  • The virtual machine's snapshots must be used as part of the

replication process. Which step must the administrator complete to accomplish this task?

Options

  • AConfigure the virtual machine storage policy.
  • BEnable guest OS VSS quiescing for this virtual machine.
  • CPerform a full initial synchronization of the source virtual machine to the target location.
  • DConfigure network traffic isolation for vSphere Replication.

Why each option

To protect an online database server using vSphere Replication with snapshots, the administrator must complete a full initial synchronization. This step establishes the base replica at the target site before ongoing snapshot-based replication can begin.

AConfigure the virtual machine storage policy.

Configuring a virtual machine storage policy defines storage requirements but does not directly enable or complete the vSphere Replication process itself.

BEnable guest OS VSS quiescing for this virtual machine.
CPerform a full initial synchronization of the source virtual machine to the target location.Correct

Performing a full initial synchronization is a mandatory first step when setting up vSphere Replication for any virtual machine, including database servers. This process copies the entire virtual machine's data to the target location, creating the initial replica from which subsequent snapshot-based incremental replications will occur, thus enabling protection.

DConfigure network traffic isolation for vSphere Replication.
