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.
Oracle can be installed with vCSA as an external DB for vCSA 6.0, not for vCSA 6.5 or 6.7
B is the correct answer.
For external databases with the vCenter Server Appliance Oracle 11g and Oracle 12c are supported . So to use oracke 10g you have to instal vcenter on a Windows server
This questions is not very clear. I also thing that answer B is most likely the correct answer. but Oracle database can be installed with vCSA as an external database. See: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.0/com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc/GUID-55F7FFDB-01B8-4C18-AA89-DC28BD9B1E9F.html
Correct answer is B. The vCenter appliance 6.xx with Oracle is deprecated. In order to install Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server, you need to use windows vCenter Server instead of vCenter appliance.
