VMCE 2021 Exam - Question 113

Question

A Veeam proxy server is configured as follows. No modifications are allowed to the transport mode.

When performing a restore of a VMware virtual disk using this proxy server, the restore fails. What is a possible cause?

Examice · Accepted Answer

The restore may fail if the virtual disk is thick-provisioned. In the configuration shown, the Direct storage access mode is selected. This mode can specifically cater to the requirements of data retrieval for both thin-provisioned and thick-provisioned disks. The failure in the restore is likely due to the virtual disk being thick-provisioned, which can present compatibility issues in certain configurations with the Direct storage access transport zone.
