Which two features would an administrator use to1 migrate virtual machines across a WAN to another site? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. Storage vMotion B. Long Distance vMotion. Long Distance vMotion enables live VM compute migration across a WAN to a remote site, while Storage vMotion migrates the VM's disk files to storage at the destination site.

Why each option
Long Distance vMotion enables live VM compute migration across a WAN to a remote site, while Storage vMotion migrates the VM's disk files to storage at the destination site.
Storage vMotion relocates a virtual machine's disk files (VMDKs) from one datastore to another while the VM remains running, which is necessary to move storage to the remote site's datastore during a cross-site migration.
Long Distance vMotion extends vMotion capability across high-latency WAN links and geographically separated sites, allowing live migration of a VM's compute state to a remote vCenter or cluster without downtime.
High Availability restarts virtual machines on other hosts in the same cluster when a host fails; it does not perform planned migrations across a WAN to another site.
Cross vSwitch vMotion migrates a VM between different virtual switches on hosts within the same or nearby network segments and is not designed for WAN or inter-site migration scenarios.
Concept tested: Cross-site WAN VM migration with Long Distance vMotion and Storage vMotion
