2V0-21.23 Question 263
Select 3You are tasked with configuring a new vSphere Cluster using the Cluster Quickstart workflow. The cluster will host critical workloads and must be configured to handle host failures while ensuring optimal performance. During the workflow, which steps should you prioritize to achieve the desired configuration?
- A
Enable vSphere HA to ensure high availability of workloads in case of host failures.
- B
Configure Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) to balance workloads across hosts automatically.
- C
Enable Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) to ensure VM compatibility across hosts with different CPU generations.
- D
Skip the configuration of vSAN as it is not necessary for high availability in this cluster.
- E
Disable vSphere HA to avoid unnecessary resource usage.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
The Cluster Quickstart workflow provides a streamlined way to configure key features for a cluster. To meet the requirements of handling host failures and ensuring optimal performance, enabling vSphere HA, configuring DRS, and enabling EVC are essential steps. These features collectively provide high availability, resource optimization, and compatibility across hosts, aligning with the desired configuration objectives.
- A. Correct.
Enabling vSphere HA is crucial to ensure that virtual machines are restarted on another host in the event of a host failure, maintaining high availability.
- B. Correct.
Configuring DRS allows the cluster to automatically distribute workloads across hosts for optimal performance, which is critical for critical workloads.
- C. Correct.
Enabling EVC ensures that virtual machines can vMotion seamlessly between hosts with different CPU generations, which is important for infrastructure flexibility and compatibility.
- D. Incorrect.
Skipping vSAN configuration is not directly related to the primary goal of high availability and performance management; however, it could be beneficial depending on the storage requirements of the workloads.
- E. Incorrect.
Disabling vSphere HA would contradict the requirement for high availability in the cluster and is not recommended.
