VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 55

An administrator needs to perform maintenance on a datastore that is running the vSphere Cluster Services (vCLS) virtual machines (VMs).
Which feature can the administrator use in this scenario to avoid the use of Storage vMotion on the vCLS VMs?

Answer options

• A. vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)
• B. vSphere vMotion
• C. vSphere Fault Tolerance
• D. vCLS Retreat Mode

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, vCLS Retreat Mode, which allows for maintenance on the datastore without needing to migrate the vCLS VMs via Storage vMotion. Options A, B, and C do not provide this specific capability for managing vCLS VMs during datastore maintenance.
