Exam 2V0-21.23 topic 1 question 61 discussion

Actual exam question from VMware's 2V0-21.23
Question #: 61
Topic #: 1
[All 2V0-21.23 Questions]

An administrator is responsible for performing maintenance tasks on a vSphere cluster.
The cluster has the following configuration:
Identically configured vSphere ESXi hosts (esx01, esx02, esx03 and esx04)
All workloads are deployed into a single VMFS datastore provided by the external storage array vSphere High Availability (HA) has not been enabled vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) has not been enabled
Currently, a critical production application workload (VM1) is running on esx01.
Given this scenario, which two actions are required to ensure VM1 continues to run when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode? (Choose two.)

  • A. Fully automated DRS must be enabled on the cluster so that VM1 will be automatically migrated to another host within the cluster when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
  • B. VM1 must be manually shut down and cold migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
  • C. vSphere HA must be enabled on the cluster so that VM1 will be automatically migrated to another host within the cluster when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
  • D. VM1 must be manually live migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
  • E. VM1 must be manually migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere Storage vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.

AD: it seems they are asking which two options would you take to enable moving a VM. you can either enable fully automated DRS and let it move the VM when the host is put into MX mode or you can manually live migrate it. B is wrong as shutting down the VM is not required for vMotion. C is wrong as that has nothing to do with moving a VM to a different host. E is wrong because that would only move the storage the VM is on, not the host.

VMware HA relies on availability to provide what some experts refer to as "100% operational" for VMs and their hosts. DRS manages resources to balance computing workloads in a system, ensuring each VM and host has the appropriate amount of resources to complete tasks C and D

Absolutely, they do not depend on each other in any way. HA is responsible for booting up the machines in case of a hardware failure or host isolation scenario, whereas DRS is responsible for load balancing live workloads.

A and D, but the question seems to be formulated wrong. The question suggest which 2 non optional actions need to be performed; you can use either of them in the scenario, only one is required at a given time.

You don't use HA to move workloads when you are doing maintenance. HA is in case a host goes down/network isolation etc. That will cause an interruption in service and what this question is telling you to accomplish is not what HA is for. Even if it didn't say the workload was critical, you would never use HA in this manner.

Ans: A and B Virtual machines that are running on a host entering maintenance mode need to be migrated to another host (either manually or automatically by DRS) or shut down. The host is in a state of Entering Maintenance Mode until all running virtual machines are powered down or migrated to different hosts. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-resource-management/GUID-8F705E83-6788-42D4-93DF-63A2B892367F.html

It says VM1 is a critical workload, what actions can you take to ensure it continues to run when esx01 is placed into MX mode. You would not sure down the VM. The answer is A & D.
