VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 93

A vSphere cluster running a virtual machine with VMware HA and DRS enabled in fully automated mode is experiencing a catastrophic host failure.
Which action can the administrator expect DRS to take?

Answer options

• A. It will pro-actively move the virtual machine to a different cluster.
• B. It will pro-actively move the virtual machine to a different host.
• C. It will move the VM to a host in the same cluster with enough resources after the HA restart.
• D. It will move the VM to a host in a different cluster with enough resources after the HA restart.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because, after a host failure, VMware HA will restart the virtual machine on a different host within the same cluster, and DRS will ensure that the host has enough resources. Options A and D are incorrect as they suggest moving to a different cluster, which isn't DRS's action in this scenario. Option B is also wrong as it implies immediate relocation to another host without considering the HA restart process.
