2V0-21.23 Question 298
Single answerAn organization is implementing vSphere Zones in their environment to meet compliance requirements for workload placement. During configuration, they must ensure certain clusters are included in a specific vSphere Zone. What is a necessary step to configure vSphere Zones correctly?
- A
Create a vSphere Zone and associate it with a Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) group.
- B
Assign clusters to a vSphere Zone by associating them with a compute policy.
- C
Enable vSphere Zones at the ESXi host level and assign each host to a specific zone.
- D
Define vSphere Zones under the vCenter Single Sign-On settings.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
vSphere Zones are a feature that allows administrators to define placement constraints for workloads based on compliance or organizational requirements. To configure vSphere Zones, clusters must be assigned to zones using compute policies, which enforce the placement rules for workloads. This ensures workloads are deployed to the correct clusters within the defined zones.
- A. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because vSphere Zones are not associated with DRS groups. DRS groups manage VM and host affinity rules, which are unrelated to vSphere Zones.
- B. Correct.
This option is correct because assigning clusters to a vSphere Zone via a compute policy is the correct method for configuring vSphere Zones. Compute policies define how resources are distributed and managed.
- C. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because vSphere Zones are not configured at the ESXi host level. Zones are defined at the cluster or policy level within vSphere.
- D. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because vSphere Zones are not configured in vCenter Single Sign-On settings. Single Sign-On is used for authentication and permissions management.
