An administrator is evaluating whether to deploy vCenter Server on a Windows server or on a
vCenter Server appliance. The administrator has the following requirements:
• A web browser will be utilized to manage the vSphere environment.
• 16 ESXi hosts will be deployed.
• Licenses must be shared with a vCenter Server at another site.
• An external Oracle 10g database server will be used to host the vCenter Server database.
Why will the administrator need to deploy vCenter Server on a Windows server?
A.
Linked Mode is a requirement for the solution.
B.
Oracle 10g is a requirement for the solution.
C.
The vSphere web client is a requirement for the solution.
D.
Management of more than 5 hosts is a requirement for the solution.

Answer A is not suitable for vSphere 6.5.
In vSphere 5.5 and earlier, Linked Mode relied on Microsoft ADAM to provide replication functionality. Starting in vSphere 6.0, the Platform Services Controller provides replication and ADAM is no longer required. Because of the change in architecture, you must isolate vCenter Server 5.5 systems from any Linked Mode groups before upgrading these systems to vCenter Server 6.0. For more information, see the vSphere Upgrade documentation.
