VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 70

A vSphere administrator is unable to remove an ESXi host from a vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS).
Which two reasons could have caused this issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Virtual machine network adapters on the host are connected to the switch.
• B. The ESXi host is connected to another VDS.
• C. Virtual machine network adapters are faulty.
• D. The VDS is configured with ingress traffic shaping.
• E. The ESXi host has VMkernel adapters assigned to the switch.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answers are A and E because if virtual machine network adapters on the host are connected to the VDS, the host cannot be removed. Additionally, if the ESXi host has VMkernel adapters assigned to the VDS, it also prevents removal. Options B, C, and D do not directly affect the ability to remove the host from the VDS.
