VMware vSphere 6 Advanced Design (VCAP6-DCV Design) — Question 60

A customer has requested a high availability option for its data center in the event of power failure and the loss of connectivity to a virtual machine. Which two vSphere features support fault tolerance? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. HA
• B. Virtual volume datastore
• C. vMotion
• D. Storage-based policy management
• E. DRS
• F. Virtual machine snapshots

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answers, HA (High Availability) and DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler), are designed to ensure that virtual machines remain operational during failures. HA automatically restarts virtual machines on available hosts after a failure, while DRS manages the load and resources of virtual machines. The other options do not provide fault tolerance features directly related to high availability.
