2V0-21.23 Question 258
Select 3You have been tasked with deploying a new vSphere cluster using the vSphere Cluster Quickstart workflow. During the process, you are prompted to enable specific features to optimize cluster performance and availability. Which of the following steps should be completed during the Quickstart workflow to ensure proper cluster configuration?
- A
Enable vSphere DRS and configure automation levels.
- B
Manually add individual ESXi hosts to the cluster without using Quickstart.
- C
Configure a shared datastore accessible to all hosts in the cluster.
- D
Enable vSphere HA and specify the admission control policy.
- E
Skip the configuration of Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) to save time.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
The vSphere Cluster Quickstart workflow simplifies the deployment and configuration of clusters by guiding administrators through key steps such as enabling vSphere DRS, vSphere HA, and configuring shared storage and EVC. These steps are critical to ensure optimal cluster performance, availability, and compatibility. Skipping or bypassing these configurations could lead to inefficiencies or issues with cluster operation.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Enabling vSphere DRS and configuring automation levels is a fundamental part of Quickstart. It ensures efficient resource distribution among the hosts in the cluster.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Manually adding ESXi hosts bypasses the Quickstart workflow and is not aligned with the objective of using Quickstart for deployment.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Configuring a shared datastore is essential to ensure that all hosts in the cluster can access shared storage, which is necessary for features like HA, DRS, and vMotion.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Enabling vSphere HA and specifying the admission control policy ensures that the cluster can recover from host failures, a critical aspect of cluster availability.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Skipping the configuration of Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) is not recommended, as EVC ensures compatibility for vMotion across hosts with different CPU generations.
