VMware vSphere 7.x Delta — Question 8

Using vSphere HA Orchestrated Restart an administrator places the most mission critical VM in the highest priority. After a host failure, the highest priority VM fails to restart while VMs in high priority restart.
What would cause this to occur?

Answer options

• A. There are insufficient cluster resources.
• B. Performance degradation VMs tolerate threshold is at default.
• C. VMware Tools is not installed.
• D. Proactive HA is disabled.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Proactive HA needs to be enabled for the orchestrated restart to function correctly and prioritize critical VMs. If it is disabled, the system cannot take proactive measures to ensure that the highest priority VM restarts, even though other high-priority VMs may still be able to do so. The other options do not directly relate to the specific failure of the highest priority VM to restart under the circumstances described.
