An administrator is using vSphere Replication to replicate a number of virtual machines to a recovery site. The administrator plans on enabling Storage DRS on the production site, which is running vSphere 5.5.
What changes must be made in order to support this configuration?
A. Storage DRS can be added to the existing configuration without any configuration changes
B. Disable Storage DRS on the virtual machines utilizing vSphere Replication
C. Change the Recovery Point Objective for the replicated virtual machines to support the additional synchronization time
D. Storage DRS cannot be used in conjunction with vSphere Replication
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
In previous versions of vSphere, Storage DRS was not compatible with vSphere Replication. However, with version 5.5, it is.
You can move the disk files of a replicated virtual machine on the source site using Storage DRS with no impact on the ongoing replication.
Incorrect Answers:
B: It is not necessary to disable Storage DRS on the virtual machines utilizing vSphere Replication. vSphere Replication is fully compatible with Storage DRS on the virtual machines in the source site. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
C: It is not necessary to change the Recovery Point Objective for the replicated virtual machines to support the additional synchronization time. vSphere Replication is fully compatible with Storage DRS on the virtual machines in the source site. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
D: Storage DRS can be used in conjunction with vSphere Replication. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
