VCP-VVF IT Architectures Technologies Standards Practice Question
An administrator is planning an upgrade of a vSphere Foundation 9.0 cluster that includes hardware accelerators (GPUs). When utilizing vSphere vMotion with NVIDIA vGPU enabled virtual machines, what architectural requirement must be verified?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The destination ESXi host must possess matching physical GPU hardware models, compatible NVIDIA driver/GRID software versions, and available vGPU profile capacity.
Live vMotion of VMs with assigned NVIDIA vGPU devices requires compatible physical GPU hardware profiles, matching driver versions, and sufficient framebuffer resources on the destination host.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The virtual machine must be powered off, migrated via cold migration, and powered back on.
Why it's wrong here
Modern vSphere and NVIDIA vGPU versions support live vMotion of vGPU-enabled VMs without powering them off.
- ✗
The vMotion network must be configured to use Fibre Channel protocol encapsulation.
Why it's wrong here
vMotion runs over standard TCP/IP networks, not Fibre Channel.
- ✗
GPU acceleration must be completely uninstalled from the guest OS before initiating vMotion.
Why it's wrong here
Uninstalling drivers is unnecessary and would break graphical workloads.
- ✓
The destination ESXi host must possess matching physical GPU hardware models, compatible NVIDIA driver/GRID software versions, and available vGPU profile capacity.
Why this is correct
Correct. vGPU vMotion requires identical or compatible GPU hardware and software profiles on both source and destination hosts.
