VMware vSphere 6.5 Professional (2017) — Question 39

What are two reasons why a datastore in a Storage DRS cluster cannot enter maintenance mode? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Storage latency is too high to allow Storage DRS initiate Storage vMotion.
• B. Storage DRS is configured for a VMFS3 datastore.
• C. Storage DRS is disabled on the virtual disk.
• D. Rules prevent Storage DRS from making migration recommendations.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers C and D indicate that if Storage DRS is disabled for the virtual disk or if there are rules preventing migration recommendations, the datastore cannot go into maintenance mode. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the conditions needed for entering maintenance mode, but rather describe configurations and performance issues.
