Question

You have an Azure subscription. You plan to deploy a virtual machine named VM1 that will have the following configurations:

Data disk size: 4 TB
Generation: Generation 2
Data disk type: Ultra disk
Data disk encryption type: Double encryption

Explanation

Ultra disks are explicitly unsupported by Azure Site Recovery (ASR), so changing the data disk type to Premium SSD, Standard SSD, or Standard HDD is the only way to make VM1 eligible for replication. Option A is wrong because ASR supports Generation 2 VMs. Option C is wrong because ASR supports double encryption (both platform-managed and customer-managed key combinations). Option D is wrong because ASR supports managed disk sizes well beyond 4 TB (up to 32 TB), so disk size is not the blocker.

Memory tip: Think of Ultra disks as ultra-exclusive - they offer the highest performance but come with the most restrictions, including no ASR support. Whenever you see Ultra disk paired with a high-availability or DR feature on the exam, that pairing is almost always the problem.
