Q: 15
A customer is designing a multi-site VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and vSAN Data Protection (DP)
architecture to ensure business continuity. The customer's support team must validate the failover
and recovery processes before being allowed to deploy into production.
Which two validation activities should be included in the strategy to meet the objective? (Choose
two.)

B/D tbh, they're the only ones that line up with validating pre-prod failover and recovery.
B/D imo. You have to test both planned and unplanned failovers to see if RTOs are realistic, and checking for app dependencies/connectivity is key for DR validation. The others don't really help with true pre-prod testing in VCF environments. Agree?
C/D? I get why B is important for dependencies, but D seems super practical-you need to actually run both planned and unplanned failovers to see if your RTO is realistic. Relying on just annual tests or just configuring HA/DRS (A/E) isn't enough from what I've seen in practice. Pretty sure B and D fit the real requirements for production validation, but I'm open to other takes.
B and D. Annual tests (A) miss issues and E is a trap, HA/DRS alone won’t fully validate DR plans. Disagree?
B Great question, really clear scenario! I picked B since checking dependencies and connectivity is key when testing DR setups like VCF/vSAN. It can catch issues before going live with production workloads, I think.
Be respectful. No spam.
