VMware vSphere 7.x Professional for Service Providers — Question 20

Which two features should an administrator use to protect a VMware vCenter Server Appliance from host and hardware failures? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. vSphere Fault Tolerance
• B. vCenter High Availability
• C. VMware Distributed Power Management
• D. vSphere High Availability
• E. VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

vSphere Fault Tolerance provides continuous availability for virtual machines by creating a live shadow instance that can take over in the event of a failure. vCenter High Availability ensures that the vCenter Server Appliance remains operational by automatically restarting it on a standby node if the primary node fails. The other options, while important for resource management and efficiency, do not directly address the protection against host or hardware failures.
