An administrator has received calls about a virtual machine experiencing intermittent application issues during the evening. To troubleshoot, the administrator needs to capture the virtual machine in the state it is in during the evening hours for later analysis.
Which two tasks would accomplish this requirement? (Choose two)
A.
Create a scheduled task to clone the virtual machine once per evening
B.
Create an alarm that is triggered when a loss of VMware Tools heartbeat to the virtual machine occurs.
C.
Use esxtop in batch mode and capture metrics during the evening hours.
D.
Create a scheduled task to create a snapshot of the virtual machine once per evening
I do not understand why this is not A & C
Clone’s can be powered on in an isolated network. Snapshots can only be reverted to (Thus affecting live service of the server to do any testing)
Well I think it is D because you can capture the virtual memory in the snapshot and it provides point in time recovery. With a clone, the processes running on the server, during the time when there were performance issues, could be killed when you restart/power ON a clone.
