VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 53

Which rule should be used in an SDRS environment to create a VM requiring virtual disks be kept on different datastores?

Answer options

• A. VM Anti-Affinity Rule
• B. Intra-VM VMDK Affinity Rule
• C. VM-Host Affinity Rule
• D. Intra-VM VMDK Anti-Affinity Rule

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Intra-VM VMDK Anti-Affinity Rule, because it specifically ensures that the virtual disks of a single VM are not placed on the same datastore. The other options either focus on VM placement relative to hosts or allow disks to be co-located, which does not meet the requirement of separation across datastores.
