Section 4 – Deploy and Administer VMware Virtual Machines
Question
A virtual machine has been renamed and an administrator is unable to find files with the new virtual machine name in the datastore. What is the reason for this?
Options
- AThe names of the files on the datastore do not change.
- BThe names of the files on the datastore have been corrupted.
- CThe virtual machine needs to be re-added to the inventory.
- DThe Distributed Resource Scheduler moved the virtual machine to another host.
Explanation
Renaming a virtual machine in the vSphere inventory changes only the display name; the underlying files on the datastore retain their original names.
Common mistakes.
- B. File corruption would cause I/O errors or VM instability, not a simple mismatch between the inventory name and the datastore filenames.
- C. Re-adding the VM to inventory is unnecessary because the VM remains fully functional; it is only the file naming that does not reflect the rename.
- D. DRS host migration relocates VM files but does not rename them, and it would not be triggered by a VM rename operation.
