2V0-621D · Question #240
An administrator has a virtual machine (VM) that uses a shared USB device. Which option will allow the VM to utilize vMotion while retaining the maximum possible functionality?
The correct answer is B. Configure the VM to support vMotion while the device is connected. To allow a VM with a shared USB device to utilize vMotion while retaining full functionality, the VM must be specifically configured for vMotion compatibility with such devices.

Why each option
To allow a VM with a shared USB device to utilize vMotion while retaining full functionality, the VM must be specifically configured for vMotion compatibility with such devices.
Disabling the USB device would prevent the VM from utilizing it, which contradicts the goal of retaining maximum possible functionality during vMotion.
Configuring the VM for specific USB device types, such as USB over Network Passthrough, allows the VM to utilize vMotion while retaining access to the USB device. This method abstracts the physical USB connection, making it compatible with live migration capabilities.
Enabling migration support for an individual USB device is not a standard vSphere option; compatibility is generally achieved through VM-level configuration or specific device types.
Removing the device would eliminate its functionality, directly opposing the requirement to retain maximum possible functionality for the VM.
