VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 3

Which two characteristics describe vSphere HA? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. When vCenter Server experiences downtime, vSphere HA restarts VMs on unaffected hosts.
• B. vSphere HA restarts VMs if their host becomes isolated in the management network.
• C. In response to datastore accessibility failures, vSphere HA restarts VMs on unaffected hosts.
• D. vSphere HA performs load balancing across the hosts in a cluster to prevent resource contention.
• E. By keeping a secondary VM running at all times, vSphere HA protects VMs from data loss.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because vSphere HA is designed to restart VMs when their host becomes isolated from the management network and in cases of datastore accessibility failures. Options A, D, and E are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the primary functions of vSphere HA; it does not handle vCenter downtime, perform load balancing, or keep a secondary VM running.
