VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 69
An architect is documenting the design for a new vSphere cluster. The customer provides the following information:
All ESXi hosts will use hardware from the same vendor
All ESXi hosts will be monitored for hardware related issues using the vendor's monitoring tooling
The vendor's monitoring tooling provides a plugin for vCenter to allow the hardware status to be visible
The customer also informs the architect of the following requirements:
Workloads must be automatically relocated to other hosts in the event that a host hardware is marked as degraded.
Workloads must be automatically restarted on other hosts in the event of a host failure.
What should the architect include in the design to meet these requirements?
Answer options
- A. vSphere HA will be enabled and set to Power off and Restart VMs in response to a host isolation. Proactive HA will be enabled with an Automation Level of Automated.
- B. vSphere HA will be enabled and set to Power off and Restart VMs in response to a host isolation. VM Monitoring will be enabled with a setting of VM Monitoring.
- C. vSphere HA will be enabled and set to restart VMs in response to a host failure. VM Monitoring will be enabled with a setting of VM and Application Monitoring.
- D. vSphere HA will be enabled and set to restart VMs in response to a host failure. Proactive HA will be enabled with an Automation Level of Automated.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because it includes both vSphere HA for automatic VM restarts during host failures and Proactive HA to manage workload relocation during hardware degradation. Options A and B primarily focus on host isolation scenarios, while option C lacks the proactive management needed for degraded hardware.
