2V0-21.23 Question 262
Select 2An administrator is tasked with adding new ESXi hosts to an existing vSphere cluster using the Cluster Quickstart workflow. The cluster is currently using vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) for networking. What must the administrator ensure before successfully adding the hosts to the cluster?
- A
The ESXi hosts have network configuration that matches the vDS settings of the cluster.
- B
The ESXi hosts are in maintenance mode before being added to the cluster.
- C
The ESXi hosts have identical CPU and memory configurations to the existing hosts in the cluster.
- D
The ESXi hosts have been assigned a vSphere license before being added to the cluster.
- E
The ESXi hosts are running a compatible version of ESXi with the cluster.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, E
Explanation
When using the Cluster Quickstart workflow to add ESXi hosts, it is crucial to ensure that the hosts' networking is configured to match the existing cluster's vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) settings to avoid connectivity issues. Additionally, the ESXi hosts must be on a version that is compatible with the cluster to ensure proper functionality. Other factors, such as hardware uniformity, maintenance mode, or pre-assigned licenses, are not mandatory prerequisites for this workflow.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The new ESXi hosts must have network configurations that are compatible with the vDS settings of the cluster to ensure seamless integration.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Putting the ESXi hosts into maintenance mode is not a requirement for adding them to a cluster using Cluster Quickstart.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While having identical hardware configurations is ideal for resource uniformity, it is not a mandatory requirement for adding hosts to a cluster using Cluster Quickstart.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Hosts do not need to have a vSphere license assigned before being added to a cluster; they can operate with an evaluation license temporarily.
- E. Correct.
Correct. The ESXi hosts must be running a version that is compatible with the existing cluster to avoid compatibility issues.
