VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization (VCP-DCV) Practice Exam

What privilege is needed to connect a source site to a target site in vSphere Replication?

1. VRM remote.Manage VRM

2. VRM datastore mapper.Manage

3. Host.vSphere Replication.Manage replication

4. Virtual machine.vSphere Replication.Manage replication

The correct answer is: VRM remote.Manage VRM

To connect a source site to a target site in vSphere Replication, the privilege required is "VRM remote.Manage VRM." This privilege is specifically designed to allow management of vSphere Replication configurations across different sites. When enabling replication, it's essential to establish a connection between the source and the target, which involves managing the replication settings and ensuring that both sites can communicate effectively. This privilege enables administrators to configure and monitor replication tasks, as well as manage the overall replication infrastructure necessary for disaster recovery and backup strategies. Having this privilege ensures that the administrator can perform actions such as setting up replication for virtual machines, troubleshooting connection issues, and maintaining the replication link as needed. The other privileges listed pertain to more specific areas within vSphere Replication or virtualization management, such as managing replication for individual virtual machines or handling datastore mappings. However, managing the connection between two sites and the overarching replication setup requires the specific "VRM remote.Manage VRM" privilege, making it the correct choice for this scenario.
