2V0-622 Question #4: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: Datastore.Allocate Space. Creating or managing VM snapshots in vCenter requires the Datastore.Allocate Space privilege because snapshot delta disk files must be written to the datastore.

Question

An administrator wishes to give a user the ability to manage snapshots for virtual machines. Which privilege does the administrator need to assign to the user?

Options

ADatastore.Allocate Space
BVirtual machine.Configuration.create snapshot
CVirtual machine.Configuration.manage snapshot
DDatastore.Browse Datastore

Explanation

Creating or managing VM snapshots in vCenter requires the Datastore.Allocate Space privilege because snapshot delta disk files must be written to the datastore.

Common mistakes.

B. Virtual machine.Configuration.create snapshot is not a valid standalone privilege path in vCenter; snapshot privileges reside under the Virtual machine.Snapshot Management category, not Configuration.
C. Virtual machine.Configuration.manage snapshot does not exist as a defined privilege in vCenter's privilege hierarchy; the correct category is Virtual machine.Snapshot Management.
D. Datastore.Browse Datastore only permits a user to view files on the datastore and does not grant the ability to allocate new space or write snapshot delta files.

Concept tested. Datastore.Allocate Space privilege required for VM snapshots
