VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 40

A host in the cluster experiences a permanent NIC failure, and the replacement part will not arrive until the next morning. The administrator needs to ensure the availability of the production workload at all times.
Which step should be taken by the administrator to meet this goal?

Answer options

• A. Shut down the production VMs.
• B. Perform a live vMotion to another host.
• C. Disable the vSAN Service on the VMkernel port.
• D. Enter Maintenance Mode with ג€Full Data Migrationג€

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Entering Maintenance Mode with 'Full Data Migration' allows the administrator to safely migrate all VMs and their data to other hosts in the cluster, ensuring that the production workload remains available. Shutting down the production VMs would lead to downtime, while performing a live vMotion may not be possible due to the NIC failure. Disabling the vSAN Service would not help with workload availability.
