VMCE Practice Question - 8 May 2024 (VTT)

option b) Make sure the VMs have VMware Tools installed and use VIX

I agree with Luiz. Found something here too  https://www.virtualtothecore.com/veeam-backup-and-vix-libraries-howto-backup-networkless-vms-using-vss/

B.  Make sure the VMs have VMware Tools installed and use VIX

Make sure the VMs have VMware Tools installed and use VIX

But i would like 4  as well, RPC is much quicker than VIX. As a statefull firewall could allow access from the GIP to the guest VM, i wont see any issues there.

2. Use VIX

I’m going with B) VIX to the rescue.

1. No. This would work, but you don’t want to do it for security reasons.
2. Yes. Using VIX with VMware Tools will allow this to work.
3. No. VAIO is used for Veeam CDP. Its not going to help with App aware processing.
4. No. The answer to these questions is never a political battle. Also, see A.

Answer is b. Tools and VIX , as shared in the Guide. 

If you chose to ready Tyler’s answer, he is correct...Exam questions will never be about arguing for anything in the environment, so d. isn’t correct; a. isn’t correct because this would be a bit more exposure than you’d want; c. isn’t correct because you don’t use VAIO, but rather VIX.
