What should an administrator do to identify compliance for virtual machine storage performance?
A. Create a Storage Policy and apply it to the virtual machine
B. Create Storage Capabilities and apply one or more capabilities to the virtual machine
C. Create a Storage Policy and apply it to the datastore containing the virtual machine
D. Create Storage Capabilities and apply one or more capabilities to the datastore containing the virtual machine
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Profile-Driven Storage provides a policy-based approach for defining and maintaining storage compliance for virtual machines. Storage Policies improves the manageability of VM storage. One of the benefits it provides is that it can be used in conjunction with Profile-Driven Storage to alert you when VMs are out of compliance with their assigned VM storage policy.
Incorrect Answers:
B, D: Storage Capabilities define the capabilities of a datastore that help make intelligent placement decisions for virtual machines. They, however, so not alert you when VMs are out of compliance with their storage performance requirements.
C: Storage Policies are applied to the VM, not the datastore.
