A customer wants to make its data available with a RPO of 10 minutes. Replication to the second data center will be done using the network. Which type of storage configuration should be used?

To achieve a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 10 minutes using network replication in a VMware environment, you must use a vSAN datastore on ESXi 6.0 with vSphere replication appliance 6.5. vSphere Replication 6.5 supports an RPO of as low as 5 minutes when using a vSAN datastore, making it suitable for the required 10-minute RPO.
Only C is correct. The 5 minute RPO requires the source host to be ESXi 6.0 or later for VSAN, and ESXi 6.5 for other supported datastores. https://docs.vmware.com/en/vSphere-Replication/6.5/rn/vsphere-replication-65-release-notes.html
Yes, C is correct. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2102453 "In vSphere Replication 6.1.x, you can use the 5 minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO) if the target and the source sites use Virtual SAN storage. If you change the target site to a site that does not use Virtual SAN, you cannot set the RPO value to less than 15 minutes. The 5 minute RPO is limited to 100 VMs per Virtual SAN cluster."
There is no hints about vCenter (6.5 required for vRep 6.5) or VSAN versions, therefore we must assume those info (as to be 6.5). So, according to this, only C is valid: “The 5 minute RPO requires the source host to be ESXi 6.0 or later for VSAN, and ESXi 6.5 for other supported datastores” ( from https://docs.vmware.com/en/vSphere-Replication/6.5/rn/vsphere-replication-65-release-notes.html)
Agree with you.
B and C are correct The vSphere Replication 6.0 version supports a minimum of 15 minutes of RPO, while version 6.5 supports RPO from 5 minutes under some conditions, which includes support for VMFS6, VMFS 5.x, VSAN among others. However, because VSAN is a more expensive solution, I would leave only option B, as the correct answer. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2102453
only C
Correct Answer: C
answer is B. as minimum. no vsan requirements. In vSphere Replication 6.5.x and 8.x, you can use the 5 minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO) if the target and the source sites use VMFS 6.0, VMFS 5.x, NFS 4.1, NFS 3, VVOL and Virtual SAN 6.0 storage and later. The 5 minute RPO can be applied to a maximum of 100 VMs on VMFS 6.0, VMFS 5.x, NFS 4.1, NFS 3 and Virtual SAN 6.0 storage and later. The maximum for VVOL datastore is 50 VMs. please disregard my other posts...
Correct answer is C In the past, the 5 min RPO was limited by the presence of vSAN datastore on source & target sites. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2102453 "In vSphere Replication 6.1.x, you can use the 5 minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO) if the target and the source sites use Virtual SAN storage. If you change the target site to a site that does not use Virtual SAN, you cannot set the RPO value to less than 15 minutes. "
Answer is C The 5 minute RPO requires the source host to be ESXi 6.0 or later for vSAN, and ESXi 6.5 for other supported datastores. https://docs.vmware.com/en/vSphere-Replication/8.3/com.vmware.vsphere.replication-admin.doc/GUID-9E17D567-A947-49CD-8A84-8EA2D676B55A.html
Should be D. I do vreplication from source esxi 5.5 goin to vsan cluster here in my work. Using vcenter 6.5.
yes C is correct. please disregard above comment
I probably don't agree with most of you, but I think B is still correct (and C as well): you have mentioned the following from the official doc: The 5 minute RPO requires the source host to be ESXi 6.0 or later for VSAN, and ESXi 6.5 for other supported datastores. this is only applicable to VR 8.1 not to VR 6.5, here the statement regarding RPO from the 6.5 doc regarding 5min RPO : You can use the 5 minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO) if the target and the source sites use VMFS 6.0, VMFS 5.x, NFS 4.1, NFS 3, VVOL, or Virtual SAN 6.0 storage and later. vSphere Replication 6.5 displays the 5 minute RPO setting when the target and the source site use VMFS 6.0, VMFS 5.x, NFS 4.1, NFS 3, VVOL, or Virtual SAN 6.0 storage and later. Link to the doc : https://docs.vmware.com/en/vSphere-Replication/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.replication-admin.doc/GUID-9E17D567-A947-49CD-8A84-8EA2D676B55A.html
