2V0-21.23 Question 395
Single answerYou are configuring a storage cluster in a vSphere environment with several datastores. The goal is to ensure that virtual machines are automatically migrated between datastores to balance disk space and performance. Which storage cluster feature should you enable to achieve this?
- A
Storage DRS (Storage Distributed Resource Scheduler)
- B
VMware vSAN
- C
Datastore Heartbeating
- D
Site Recovery Manager
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To balance disk space and performance automatically within a storage cluster, you need to enable Storage Distributed Resource Scheduler (Storage DRS). Storage DRS provides intelligent recommendations and automation for placing and migrating VMs based on datastore utilization and I/O performance, making it the ideal solution for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Storage DRS is the correct feature to use when you want to automate the balancing of storage resources, including disk space and I/O performance, across multiple datastores within a cluster.
- B. Incorrect.
VMware vSAN is a software-defined storage solution, but it is not specifically designed for balancing workloads across traditional datastores in a cluster. It operates on a different architecture.
- C. Incorrect.
Datastore Heartbeating is a feature used to monitor datastore accessibility and ensure HA (High Availability) functionality but does not provide load balancing for storage clusters.
- D. Incorrect.
Site Recovery Manager is a disaster recovery solution focused on orchestrating failover and failback operations, not storage performance or space balancing.
