QuestionQ70

Deploy and Configure Self-Service and Related Components

An administrator configured a Protection Policy to create snapshots every 1 hour. The policy takes snapshots of all VMs categorized as Protection: Silver and Environment: Prod. Additionally, a Security Policy prevents VMs categorized as Environment: Prod from communicating with VMs categorized as Environment: Dev.

A user deployed a VM through a Self-Service Marketplace Item that assigned the Environment: Prod category to protect and secure it, but the VM has no snapshots, even though the Protection Policy includes the Environment: Prod category.

What could be the issue?

  • A VMs can’t be in a Protection Policy along with Security Policy.
  • B VM must be categorized as Environment: Dev.
  • C VM doesn’t have the category Protection: Silver.
  • D VMs must be added manually to the Protection Policy.
Explanation

A category-based protection policy selects only VMs that satisfy every specified category criterion. A VM categorized only as Environment: Prod does not match a policy that also requires Protection: Silver, so it is excluded from scheduled snapshots.
