VMware App Volumes 4 Specialist — Question 32

An administrator would like to put a vSAN host in an existing vSAN Cluster in maintenance mode. vMotion is configured and DRS is set to Fully Automated and all other advanced settings are their defaults.
The administrator uses this PowerCLI command:
Set-VMHost -VMHost "esxi-host01.corp.local" -State "Maintenance"
What is the default behavior?

Answer options

• A. Virtual machines will be live migrated and all storage objects residing on this host will migrate to another host that is not in maintenance mode.
• B. Virtual machines will be live migrated to another host not in maintenance mode and storage objects will be migrated if it is required to be accessible.
• C. Virtual machines will be live migrated to another host not in maintenance mode and storage objects will not migrate regardless of policy and state.
• D. Virtual machines will not be live migrated to another host not in maintenance mode and storage objects will be migrated if it is required to be accessible.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when a host is placed in maintenance mode with DRS set to Fully Automated, vMotion will automatically migrate the virtual machines to another host. Additionally, all storage objects on that host will also be migrated to ensure they remain accessible. Options B, C, and D incorrectly describe the behavior of the migration process regarding storage object handling.
