VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 62

An architect is designing a new vSphere solution. The following information has been gathered during the design workshops with the customer:
The solution will be deployed into two availability zones (AZs)
The solution will be configured as a single stretched cluster with shared storage across the two AZs
Production and Development workloads will run across both AZs
The cluster is configured as N + 1
The architect needs to ensure that, in the event of a host failure during maintenance of another host in the cluster, only the Production workloads are recovered.
What should the architect include in the design to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Configure vSphere HA VM Monitoring to VM and Application Monitoring Set the VM monitoring sensitivity to Custom
• B. Configure vSphere HA VM Monitoring to VM Monitoring only Set the VM monitoring sensitivity to Preset of High
• C. Configure vSphere HA Host Failure Response to Restart VMs Set the Development VMs to Disabled as the Restart Priority
• D. Configure vSphere HA Host Failure Response to Restart VMs Set the cluster default Restart VM Restart Priority to Highest

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it specifically configures the host failure response to restart only the necessary Production VMs while disabling the Development VMs from restarting. This aligns with the requirement to ensure only Production workloads are recovered during a host failure. Options A and B do not address the need to prioritize Production over Development workloads, and option D would result in all VMs being restarted, which contradicts the requirement.
