VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 35

To keep virtual machines (VMs) up and running at all times in a vSphere cluster, an administrator would like VMs to be migrated automatically when the host hardware health status becomes degraded.
Which cluster feature can be used to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Predictive DRS
• B. Proactive HA
• C. vSphere HA Orchestrated Restart
• D. vSphere Fault Tolerance

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Proactive HA is specifically designed to automatically migrate VMs away from hosts that are experiencing hardware health issues, thus maintaining uptime. Predictive DRS focuses on load balancing rather than health monitoring, while vSphere HA Orchestrated Restart and vSphere Fault Tolerance do not provide automatic migration based on hardware health status.
