Actual exam question for VEEAM's VMCE2021 exam

Question #: 57
Topic #: 7

[All VMCE2021 Questions]

An infrastructure with 50 VMs has a power outage. After the VMware cluster has booted up again, 10 medium-sized VMs have corrupted VM disk files. Which action can be used to restore the VMs back to the production state?

AUse the 'Restore guest files' option and restore all VM Files.

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

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

DPerform Instant VM Recovery with quick rollback.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

By performing a restore of only the VM configuration files, you can quickly recreate the VM in VMware vSphere using the existing disk files on the datastore. This method avoids the need to transfer or copy large VM disk files, resulting in a faster restoration process. Note that this method assumes that the VM disk files are still intact on the datastore. If any of the VM disk files are missing or corrupted, you may need to consider alternative restoration methods or perform a full restore from the Veeam backup files.

C is the safest route. Let's restore everything needed.

B seems too limited. We need the disk files for sure.

I’m skeptical about Instant VM Recovery being reliable in this case.

Wait, 10 VMs corrupted? That’s a lot!

Restoring just the config files won't help, so B is out.

I wonder if they have a "Restore VM and free pizza" option. That would really seal the deal!

B) Restoring only the configuration files won't help if the disk files are corrupted. Gotta go with C) to get everything back.

A) Restoring all VM files? That's like trying to fix a flat tire by replacing the whole car!

D) Instant VM Recovery sounds like a cool option, but it might not be the best choice here since the VMs have corrupted disk files.

C) is the correct answer. Restoring the VM configuration and disk files is the best way to get the VMs back to production state.

I’m confused about the difference between restoring guest files and VM files. I hope it’s not option A, but I can't remember for sure.

I practiced a similar question where restoring just the configuration files wasn't enough. I feel like option C is the safest bet here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about instant recovery being useful in these situations. Could D be the right choice?

I think we might need to restore both the configuration and disk files to get the VMs back to their original state, so maybe option C?

I'm leaning towards C. Restoring both the configuration and disk files is probably the safest way to get those 10 VMs back to a working state after the power outage.

Option A seems too broad - restoring all VM files might be overkill if we only need to fix the 10 corrupted VMs. I'd go with C to be more targeted.

I feel like A is too risky. We need to focus on the VMs.

I'm pretty confident that C is the right answer. Restoring just the configuration files wouldn't be enough to fully recover the VMs. We need to get the disk files back as well.
