VMware vSphere 8 Foundations — Question 20

Which component needs to be available for the ESXi hosts to be able to enable vSphere High Availability?

Answer options

• A. 10Gbps network interfaces
• B. Direct attached disks
• C. Shared data storage
• D. Dual CPU sockets

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Shared data storage, because vSphere High Availability requires a shared storage solution to allow multiple ESXi hosts to access the same virtual machine files. The other options, while potentially beneficial for performance or configuration, are not prerequisites for enabling High Availability.
