What are two benefits of Virtual Compatibility Mode for RDMs, as compared to Physical
Compatibility Mode (Choose Two)?
A.
Allows for the use of array-based snapshots
B.
Allows the use of SAN-aware applications
C.
Allows for template creation of the related virtual machine
D.
Allows for cloning
Explanation:
Storage options for virtual machines: Raw device mappings, VMFS
RDM limitations
There are two types of RDMs: virtual compatibility mode RDMs and physical
compatibility mode RDMs. Physical mode RDMs, in particular, have some fairly
significant limitations:
No VMware snapshots
No VCB support, because VCB requires VMware snapshots
No cloning VMs that use physical mode RDMs
No converting VMs that use physical mode RDMs into templates
No migrating VMs with physical mode RDMs if the migration involves copying the disk
No VMotion with physical mode RDMs
