VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 11

Which feature helps maintain zero data loss when a VM on an ESXi server fails unexpectedly?

Answer options

• A. Fault Tolerance
• B. vSphere High Availability
• C. Storage vMotion
• D. vMotion

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Fault Tolerance provides continuous availability for VMs by creating a live shadow instance that runs in lockstep with the primary VM, ensuring that no data is lost during failures. In contrast, vSphere High Availability minimizes downtime but does not guarantee zero data loss, while Storage vMotion and vMotion are focused on migrating VMs and do not directly address data loss during outages.
