2V0-21.23 Question 297
Single answerAn administrator is tasked with configuring vSphere Zones in a vSphere environment to enhance workload placement control. They need to ensure that VMs are deployed only to specific hosts in a cluster based on business requirements. During the configuration process, which step is critical to ensure that the vSphere Zone functions as intended?
- A
Assign the appropriate hosts to the vSphere Zone.
- B
Enable Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) in Fully Automated mode.
- C
Configure VM affinity rules for the vSphere Zone.
- D
Assign the vSphere Zone to a resource pool.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
vSphere Zones are used to control which hosts can run specific workloads. The critical step in configuring a vSphere Zone is assigning the appropriate hosts to it, as this ensures the zone is correctly defined for workload placement. Other features such as DRS or affinity rules can complement Zones but are not directly related to their configuration.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Assigning hosts to the vSphere Zone is a critical step as it defines the boundary for workload placement within the zone.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While DRS can assist with resource allocation, enabling it in Fully Automated mode is not a requirement for configuring vSphere Zones.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. VM affinity rules are separate from vSphere Zones and are not mandatory for their configuration.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. vSphere Zones are not directly tied to resource pools, and assigning a zone to a resource pool is not a configuration step.
