VMware Exam 3V0-21.23 Topic 3 Question 9 Discussion
Topic #: 3
An architect is designing a new vSphere 8 environment and needs to plan the migration of virtual machines from the source vSphere 7 infrastructure.
The following has been captured about the source infrastructure and project:
All virtual machines operate supported versions of Microsoft Windows
All virtual machines have VMware Tools 11 or higher installed
vCenter Enhanced Linked Mode is configured
VMware PowerCLI is available in the environment
No budget is available for discovery tooling
The architect must capture and review active services from inside running virtual machines to inform the migration design.
Considering the information available, which method can the architect use to acquire the information required?
Given that VMware Tools 11 or higher is installed on all virtual machines and VMware PowerCLI is available in the environment, the architect can leverage PowerCLI to interact with VMware Tools and collect information about active services running inside the virtual machines.
VMware PowerCLI allows you to query virtual machines for information about their services by accessing the guest operating system, provided VMware Tools is installed and running. You can use PowerCLI cmdlets to retrieve service data, such as which services are running on the VM, their statuses, and other details necessary for planning the migration.
This option is cost-effective since there is no budget available for additional discovery tooling, and it aligns well with the existing tools and infrastructure already in place.
