VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 78

A company has a requirement that all production applications must have a maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) of one hour per month.
Which statement would be included in the conceptual design to support this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Production applications will run in a dedicated Tier 2 cluster.
• B. Server hardware has been allocated for the production applications.
• C. vSphere Fault Tolerance (FT) will not be enabled for the production applications.
• D. vSphere HA Host Failure Response will be set to Restart VMs.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, indicates that vSphere HA will automatically restart virtual machines after a host failure, which helps meet the MTD requirement. Option A does not address downtime directly, while B only states hardware allocation without specifying recovery measures. Option C suggests disabling a feature that could enhance availability, contradicting the need for minimal downtime.
