VMware Cloud Foundation 3.x Administrator — Question 14

A vSphere administrator sees the alarm:
vSphere HA virtual machine failed to failover
This occurred for a number of virtual machines on a particular ESXi host in a cluster with vSphere High Availability (HA) enabled. The virtual machines guest operating systems never reported a power event.
What occurred?

Answer options

• A. The virtual machines were vMotioned off of the ESXi host.
• B. The ESXi host failed and vSphere HA successfully failed over the virtual machines.
• C. The previous virtual machine cloning operations failed to complete.
• D. The ESXi host is still running but has disconnected from the network.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it indicates that the ESXi host experienced a failure, prompting vSphere HA to successfully failover the virtual machines. Option A is incorrect as it suggests the virtual machines were moved, while C is not relevant since there are no cloning operations mentioned, and D incorrectly implies the host is operational despite being disconnected.
