2V0-622D Question #33: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is A: The swap file is stored with the virtual machine configuration file.. When a VM's swap file is inaccessible to the destination host during vMotion, ESXi automatically creates a new swap file alongside the VM configuration file rather than failing the migration.
Question
Which happens if the swap file of a virtual machine is inaccessible to the destination host during a vMotion?
Options
- AThe swap file is stored with the virtual machine configuration file.
- BThe swap file is copied to the destination host.
- CThe vMotion will fail.
- DThe swap file is replicated to a datastore accessible by both hosts.
Explanation
When a VM's swap file is inaccessible to the destination host during vMotion, ESXi automatically creates a new swap file alongside the VM configuration file rather than failing the migration.
Common mistakes.
- B. ESXi does not copy the existing swap file to the destination host during vMotion - it instead creates a brand-new swap file at the destination alongside the VM configuration files.
- C. vMotion does not fail when the swap file is inaccessible - ESXi handles this condition gracefully by creating a new swap file at the VM configuration file location on the destination.
- D. ESXi does not replicate or move the swap file to a mutually accessible shared datastore during vMotion - the resolution is a local fallback to the VM configuration file directory.
