2V0-32.24 Question 73
Select 3You are tasked with setting up a VMware vSphere environment for a new cloud project. During the installation process, you must ensure that vCenter Server is deployed in a highly available configuration. Which of the following steps are required to set up vCenter Server High Availability (HA)?
- A
Deploy three vCenter Server nodes: Active, Passive, and Witness.
- B
Enable vSphere HA on the ESXi hosts before configuring vCenter HA.
- C
Configure the vCenter Server HA network on the Active node.
- D
Manually synchronize the Active and Passive vCenter Server nodes.
- E
Use the vSphere Client to enable vCenter Server HA.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
Setting up vCenter Server High Availability (HA) involves deploying three nodes (Active, Passive, and Witness), configuring the HA network, and enabling HA through the vSphere Client. Enabling vSphere HA on ESXi hosts or manually synchronizing nodes are not part of the vCenter Server HA setup process. These steps ensure that the environment is resilient to failures and maintains uptime for vCenter Server services.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Deploying three vCenter Server nodes (Active, Passive, and Witness) is a required step for vCenter Server High Availability (HA). Each node serves a specific role in maintaining high availability.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Enabling vSphere HA on the ESXi hosts is not a prerequisite for vCenter Server HA, as vSphere HA is a separate feature for host and VM failover.
- C. Correct.
Correct. Configuring the vCenter Server HA network is essential to ensure communication between the nodes during failover and synchronization activities.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Synchronization between the Active and Passive nodes is handled automatically during the vCenter Server HA setup and operation. Manual synchronization is not required.
- E. Correct.
Correct. The vSphere Client provides the necessary interface to configure and enable vCenter Server HA.
