The correct answer is A. vSphere Replication retains a number of snapshot instances of the virtual machine on the target C. vSphere Replication does not support virtual machines with snapshots. vSphere Replication with multiple point-in-time (MPIT) instances creates and retains snapshots on the target site, but it requires the source VM to have no existing snapshots.

Question

An administrator configures vSphere Replication for a virtual machine and enables multiple point in time (PIT) instances under the recovery settings in the Configure Replication wizard. Which two statements are correct for vSphere Replication with multiple point in time instances enabled? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AvSphere Replication retains a number of snapshot instances of the virtual machine on the target
  • BvSphere Replication uses the virtual machine's snapshot instances to define the target site Point
  • CvSphere Replication does not support virtual machines with snapshots.
  • DvSphere Replication supports virtual machines with snapshots.

Why each option

vSphere Replication with multiple point-in-time (MPIT) instances creates and retains snapshots on the target site, but it requires the source VM to have no existing snapshots.

AvSphere Replication retains a number of snapshot instances of the virtual machine on the targetCorrect

When MPIT is enabled, vSphere Replication creates a configurable number of snapshot instances on the target site after each replication cycle, allowing recovery to different points in time without affecting the source VM.

BvSphere Replication uses the virtual machine's snapshot instances to define the target site Point

vSphere Replication does not use the source VM's own snapshot instances to define recovery points - the PIT instances are snapshots created independently on the replicated copy at the target site after each sync cycle.

CvSphere Replication does not support virtual machines with snapshots.Correct

vSphere Replication with MPIT enabled does not support source virtual machines that already have snapshots; the presence of existing snapshots on the source VM is an unsupported configuration that must be resolved before enabling MPIT replication.

DvSphere Replication supports virtual machines with snapshots.

This directly contradicts the correct answer C; when MPIT is configured, source VMs with existing snapshots are explicitly unsupported, making this statement incorrect in this context.
