VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 123

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

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

vCenter High Availability (B) ensures that the vCenter Server Appliance remains operational by providing a standby instance in case of failure. vSphere Fault Tolerance (D) allows for continuous availability by creating a live clone of a VM, ensuring that there is no downtime during hardware failures, while the other options focus on power management or resource scheduling, which do not directly address availability during failures.
