VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 94

An administrator runs a two-node vSphere cluster, which contains two domain controller virtual machines (VMs). The administrator wants to ensure that VMs run on separate hosts without interfering with normal maintenance operations.
How should the administrator configure Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)?

Answer options

• A. Create a 'Must run Virtual Machines to Hosts' anti-affinity rule.
• B. Create a 'Virtual Machines to Virtual Machines' anti-affinity rule.
• C. Create a 'Virtual Machines to Virtual Machines' dependency rule.
• D. Create a 'Should run Virtual Machines to Hosts' anti-affinity rule.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a 'Should run Virtual Machines to Hosts' anti-affinity rule allows for flexibility in VM placement while still ensuring that certain VMs do not run on the same host. Option A is too strict, preventing VMs from running at all if a host is unavailable. Option B does not address host separation, and Option C does not provide the necessary isolation between VMs.
