A company has implemented a virtualization-based DR plan using hypervisor-level replication. The plan has never been tested. Management wants to validate the plan without impacting production. Which testing approach should be used?

Test the failover of a single non-critical VM to the DR site and then fail it back.

Perform a full failover of all production VMs to the DR site during business hours.

Review the DR plan documentation and verify that all replication jobs are running successfully.

Conduct a simulated failover using a non-production copy of the replicated VMs in an isolated network.

A company uses VMware vSphere Replication to replicate VMs to a DR site. The RPO is set to 15 minutes. During a routine audit, the DR team discovers that the actual RPO is sometimes 30 minutes due to network congestion. What should the team do to ensure the RPO is consistently met?

Increase the RPO to 30 minutes to match the observed behavior.

Take manual snapshots before each replication cycle.

Implement network QoS or increase bandwidth to reduce congestion.

Reduce the RPO to 5 minutes to force more frequent replication.

An organization wants to use virtualization to improve its DR capabilities. The primary site has a hypervisor cluster, and the DR site has a single hypervisor host. The DR site host is less powerful than the primary hosts. The organization needs to replicate VMs to the DR site and be able to start them if the primary site fails. What should the administrator do to ensure the VMs can run at the DR site?

Use storage-level replication and configure the DR host to use the replicated storage directly.

Replicate the VMs as-is and rely on the DR host's ability to run them with reduced performance.

Convert the VMs to a format compatible with the DR host and ensure the DR host has enough resources to run the VMs.

Set up a VPN between the sites and use live migration to move VMs to the DR host when needed.

A company has a DR plan that uses both replication and backups. The DR team conducts a full failover test every quarter. During the last test, the team found that the replicated VMs were consistent, but the backup restore failed because the backup software was not compatible with the latest VM hardware version. What should the team do to prevent this from happening again?

Stop using backups and rely only on replication.

Update the backup software to support the latest VM hardware version.

Downgrade the VM hardware version to match the backup software.

Perform backup restores only during the quarterly test.
