Question
A technician needs to provide a VM with high availability. Which of the following actions should the technician take to complete this task as efficiently as possible?
- A. Take a snapshot of the original VM
- B. Clone the original VM Correct
- C. Convert the original VM to use dynamic disks
- D. Perform a P2V of the original VM
Explanation
Cloning creates a complete, independent copy of the running VM that can be placed on another host and used as a second instance behind a cluster or load balancer, which is the quickest way to provide redundancy for the workload. A snapshot is a point-in-time state of the same VM on the same storage and gives no second running instance. Converting to dynamic disks only changes how storage is allocated, and a P2V conversion applies to physical servers, not to a machine that is already virtual.
