A vSphere cluster running a virtual machine with VMware HA and DRS enabled in fully automated mode is experiencing a catastrophic host failure. Which action can the administrator expect DRS to take?
A.
It will pro-actively move the virtual machine to a different cluster.
B.
It will pro-actively move the virtual machine to a different host.
C.
It will move the VM to a host in the same cluster with enough resources after the HA restart.
D.
It will move the VM to a host in a different cluster with enough resources after the HA restart.
The correct answer is C. If the host fails the VM cannot be migrated because it will die with the host. The VM will restart on a new host once DRS decides the best host to utilize.
In a vSphere cluster with VMware High Availability (HA) and Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) enabled in fully automated mode, experiencing a catastrophic host failure, the action the administrator can expect DRS to take is:
C. It will move the VM to a host in the same cluster with enough resources after the HA restart.
When VMware HA detects a host failure and initiates a restart of the affected virtual machines on other hosts within the same cluster, DRS, if configured in fully automated mode, will then assess the resource availability and load across the remaining hosts in the cluster. If there are hosts with sufficient resources available (CPU, memory, etc.), DRS will take the necessary action to ensure the restarted virtual machines are placed on a host that can accommodate them within the same cluster, optimizing resource usage and balancing the cluster's workload.
