VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 84

A host profile is created from a reference host in Cluster A and applied to all hosts in the same cluster.
What effect is expected when the administrator updates the DNS settings on the reference host?

Answer options

• A. DNS settings are updated for all hosts in the cluster
• B. The reference host becomes non-compliant
• C. The reference host enters maintenance mode
• D. The host profile is updated automatically

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because when the DNS settings on the reference host are changed, it no longer matches the settings defined in the host profile, leading to a non-compliant status. The other options are incorrect because changes in the reference host's settings do not automatically propagate to other hosts, do not trigger maintenance mode, and do not result in automatic updates to the host profile.
