HPE0-J82: HPE Storage Architect

QuestionQ13

Evaluate the customer's environment

A customer has a VMware vCenter solution that manages most of its workloads. The customer will purchase a pair of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 systems, on which it will run most existing workloads.

They want to make sure allocation units are aligned to obtain the best efficiency from the new storage solution.

Which VMware software should the customer use to move the VMs?

Explanation

VMware vCenter Converter performs virtual-to-virtual conversions and creates a destination copy of a VM, allowing its destination virtual-disk and partition layout to be configured for the new storage environment. This supports recreating workloads with aligned allocation units. VMware vMotion only moves the running VM between hosts or datastores and does not rebuild the guest disk layout. Broadcom documents that VMware Converter supports conversion operations and lets the administrator specify destination disk sizing in its conversion wizard.
