1V0-21.20 Exam - Question 32


An administrator needs to update an OS running on a virtual machine and wants to be able to revert to the previous state if any issues occur after the update.

Which steps should be used in the vSphere Client to meet this requirement?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

To be able to revert to a previous state if any issues occur after updating an OS on a virtual machine, you should take a snapshot. In the vSphere Client, you can do this by right-clicking on the VM, selecting Snapshots, and then choosing Take Snapshot. A snapshot captures the state, data, and configuration of the virtual machine at a specific point in time, providing a quick and easy way to revert to the known good state if problems arise post-update.

D. The administrator should take a snapshot of the virtual machine before updating the OS. In the vSphere Client, this can be done by right clicking on the VM > Snapshots > Take Snapshot. A snapshot captures the state, data, and configuration of a virtual machine at a specific point in time. By taking a snapshot before updating the OS, the administrator can revert to the previous state if any issues occur after the update. This allows the administrator to quickly revert the virtual machine to the previous state without having to manually undo any changes or restore from a backup. Taking snapshots is a best practice for making changes to virtual machines, as it provides a quick and easy way to revert to a known good state if issues occur.

this literally the only reason one would use snapshots. Sometimes these answers are chosen by ppl while high on some exotic dust.

The steps that should be used in the vSphere Client to meet the requirement of being able to revert to the previous state if issues occur after updating the OS on a virtual machine are: D. Right click on the VM > Snapshots > Take Snapshot Taking a snapshot of the virtual machine before performing the OS update allows you to capture the VM's state at that point in time. If any issues occur after the update, you can revert the virtual machine back to the snapshot state, effectively rolling back the changes made during the update and returning the VM to its previous state. Snapshots capture the VM's disk and memory state at the time the snapshot is taken, providing a point-in-time backup of the virtual machine. It's important to note that snapshots should be used cautiously and should not be kept for an extended period to avoid potential issues with snapshot size and performance impact on the VM.
