Hi there Community! As Shane is on vacation (enjoy it!), he asked me to post this weeks VTT question. So let’s go.

 

Also, for those new to the VMCE page, please hide your comment (guess). To do so → before typing your response, click the ellipsis icon on the far right of the format toolbar at the top in your comment box and select the Spoiler option. This will place a ‘hide comment’ text box in your comment box area. Click inside this hide comment text box and start typing your answer (guess). Be careful to not click outside of the box or your comment will show after saving. We want your comment to not show so others can take full advantage of these practice questions. Let me know if you have issues. Good luck!

Good day. See the answer of this weeks question below. Thanks Shane for providing us with this one.

C. is only a "distractor"

B. Network would work, but isn't the fastest and would only be used if there was something faulty with the VM Proxies.

This leaves A. and D.

A. wouldn't be used because the Proxies are VMs. There are a couple pieces missing for A. to be a viable solution as well → the question doesn't say if those VMs are FC-connected to storage for Direct Access, and second, it doesn't say if the VMs to be restored are thick-disks, which is the only disk option available for Direct Access restorations. Thin disks aren't supported.

 

Thus making D. Virtual Appliance the most correct answer. 😊
