  1. Otigger says:

    answer A for sure, have a doubt whether it is more B or more C
    I think the question is about SRM (A and C ) or vsphere replication ( B, certainly auotmated after scheduled ) ?
    anyone can confirm the answer ?

    A & D
    Data protection includes agents that enable application consistent backup and recovery for MS SQL, MS Exchange etc… it allows you to restore replicated data back to a source or target location

    C&D

    A is incorrect because, it states live migration in event of an outage. If there is an outage, HA is invoked, and this involves downtime. B is SRM, which is not included as a product.

  4. Andy says:

    D refers to vMotion which is not disater recovery.
    B is HA and not classed as disaster recovery, Host hardware failures are classed as “unplanned downtimes”.

    We are left with A&C

    This is a very wierd question and even more wierd options….
    Here’s what I believe …
    A is vMotion
    B is replication
    C is HA
    D is data protection

    Focusing on Disaster Recovery I would pick B and C and correct answers…

    I think it would be B and D

    B is for
    Private Cloud Disaster Recovery – VMware vSphere Replication or VMware Site Recovery Manager

    D is for
    VMware vSphere® Data Protection™ is a backup and recovery solution from VMware. It is fully integrated with VMware vCenter Server™ and VMware vSphere Web Client, providing disk-based backup of virtual machines and applications. vSphere Data Protection is

    Interesting comments. Focusing on the question, the hint that stands out to me is disaster recovery and vsphere datacenter–notice they didn’t mention downtime mitigations. Thus the question is really looking for the best DR solution from VMware with the choices provided. Moreover DR as I take is separate DCs. Thus the best solutions for separate Datacenter from a DR perspective would be:

    B: VMware SRM with Replication
    D: VMware Data Protection for Exchange DAG

    A: Not correct IMHO because it would make sense if they meant Fault Tolerance (FT) which doesn’t really live migrate and require a ton of bandwidth to maintain updated primary and standby VMs. Even at that, to use FT for all your VM connectivity to DR would not be practical.

    C: This one is trick because it is technically correct but incorrect in the true premise of the question. What does “available resources” mean? It would be correct in terms of a host failure (HA) but even that does not qualify as a DR best practice as the whole site could go down.

    1. Horseman says:

      Agreed and spot on! A is vMotion and will not help for disaster recovery. C is HA and … and well again only helps if a HOST fails not the entire site. vMotion and HA are availability fixes, not disaster recovery.

      B, D
