VMware vSphere 6.5 Professional (2017) — Question 20

How can a vSphere administrator ensure that a set of virtual machines run on different hosts in a DRS cluster?

Answer options

• A. Use a VM-Host affinity rule.
• B. Add the VMs to a vApp.
• C. Use a VM-VM affinity rule.
• D. Place the VMs in different folders.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a VM-VM affinity rule allows for the specification that certain VMs should not run on the same host, ensuring they are placed on different hosts. Option A is incorrect because a VM-Host affinity rule would actually force the VMs to run on the same host. Option B does not address host placement, and option D is irrelevant to DRS cluster management regarding VM distribution across hosts.
