VMware vCloud Director Specialist — Question 6

What can happen when ESXi host in a VMware Cloud on AWS cluster fails?

Answer options

• A. A new host is added to the cluster, and data from problem host is rebuilt or migrated on the new host.
• B. VMware Site Recovery initiates a failover of the host.
• C. A new host is failed over to another availability zone.
• D. Administrators are notified to add a new host to the cluster and to run the reprotect workflow.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because VMware Site Recovery is designed to manage failovers in such scenarios. Option A is incorrect as it describes a rebuilding process that doesn't happen automatically. Option C is misleading since failover does not involve switching to another availability zone, and option D is not accurate as notifications for manual interventions do not apply in this context.
