VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 59

Which vSphere feature protects against host hardware failures by restarting virtual machines (VMs) on hosts that are running in the cluster?

Answer options

• A. vSphere vMotion
• B. vSphere Fault Tolerance
• C. vSphere DRS
• D. vSphere HA

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, vSphere HA, as it automatically restarts VMs on available hosts if a hardware failure occurs. vSphere vMotion (A) is used for live migration of VMs without downtime, while vSphere Fault Tolerance (B) provides continuous availability by creating a live shadow instance of a VM, and vSphere DRS (C) manages resource allocation but does not provide failover capabilities.
