VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator — Question 29

A host in a vSphere environment needs to be taken offline for hardware maintenance. An administrator needs to put the host in maintenance mode without causing VM downtime.
What three steps should the administrator follow? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Select the "Fractional data migration" option
• B. Migrate all VMs off the host using vMotion
• C. Verify that no VMs are running on the host before maintenance
• D. Select the host and enter maintenance mode from the vSphere Client
• E. Ensure that the host is not part of a vSphere HA cluster

Correct answer: B, C, D

Explanation

The correct steps are B, C, and D. B is essential for ensuring that VMs are not running on the host during maintenance, while C confirms that all VMs have been migrated, and D puts the host into maintenance mode. A is incorrect because 'Fractional data migration' is not a relevant option in this context, and E is not necessary for entering maintenance mode.
