VEEAM VMCE_v12 Exam - Topic 1 Question 13 Discussion

Actual exam question for VEEAM's VMCE_v12 exam

Question #: 13
Topic #: 1

An infrastructure with 50 VMs has a power outage. After the VMware cluster has booted up again, 10 large VMs are orphaned. However, all VM disk files are still on the datastores. What is the quickest way to bring back those VMs with the least possible data loss?

ARemove the existinq VM disk files from the datastore and perform Instant VM Recovery

BPerform Instant VM Recovery with quick rollback with automatic Power On VM at the end.

CPerform Restore VM Files and only restore the VM configuration files.

DUse the 'Restore guest files' option to restore the VM configuration files.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

In a situation where VMs are orphaned after a power outage but their disk files remain intact on the datastores, the most efficient way to restore these VMs with minimal data loss is C: Perform Restore VM Files and only restore the VM configuration files. This approach involves using Veeam Backup & Replication to restore only the necessary VMX files (for VMware) or equivalent configuration files for other hypervisors, which contain the settings and configuration of the VMs. Since the disk files are still present and intact on the datastores, restoring the configuration files allows the VMs to be re-registered with the hypervisor and brought back online quickly, without the need to transfer or restore the entire VM disk files, thus minimizing downtime and data loss.

I disagree, restoring VM files seems safer.

Wait, can you really just remove the disk files? Sounds risky!

I recall a similar question where restoring just the configuration files wasn't enough. So, I think option B is the best choice here.

I feel like option A is risky since it says to remove the existing disk files. That could lead to more data loss, right?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about needing the VM configuration files. Maybe option C is the way to go?

I think option B sounds right because it mentions Instant VM Recovery, which we practiced in class. It seems like the quickest way to get them back up.

I'm a little unsure about the differences between the Restore VM Files and Restore guest files options. I'll need to research those a bit more to make sure I select the right approach.

I'm pretty confident that option B is the way to go here. Instant VM Recovery with the quick rollback should get those VMs restored with minimal downtime.

Okay, I think I've got this. Instant VM Recovery with quick rollback and automatic power on seems like the best way to get those VMs back up and running quickly.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the options. I'll need to review the details of each approach to determine the quickest way with the least data loss.

This looks like a straightforward Spearman's rank correlation question. I'll start by ranking the companies by reputation and likelihood of purchase, then calculate the difference between the ranks for each company and use the formula to find the correlation coefficient.

Downloading the .pl files and looking for usernames and passwords could be a good strategy, but I'm not sure if that's the "best" method as the question asks.
