A vSphere administrator deleted a vApp from disk. A second administrator needs the virtual machines that were contained in the vApp.
What should the first administrator do to make the virtual machines available?
A. Recover the virtual machines from backup
B. Add the virtual machines back into inventory
C. Undelete the vApp
D. Recover the virtual machines from Stranded Items
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The Virtual Machine Restore wizard allows you to specify which virtual machines to restore, how they are restored, and where they are restored to.
Incorrect Answers:
B: To deploy virtual machines in the vCenter Server inventory, you can deploy from a template, create a virtual machine, or clone an existing virtual machine. Since the VMs are deleted, they cannot be added back into inventory.
C: The vApp is not required by the second administrator and, therefore, doesn’t need to be restored.
D: vCloud Director attempts to delete the object from vSphere when you delete an object in vCloud Director and that object also exists in vSphere. When vCloud Director is unable to delete the object in vSphere, the object becomes stranded. This is not the case in this scenario.
