You are designing a VMware HA cluster as part of a solution for a large enterprise. One of the
specific requirements is to remove the risk of impact to a DRS outage due to possible
fragmentation of resources leading to performance issues. Which of the following statements is
correct?
A.
VMware HA will automatically protect DRS in the event of a HA event.
B.
A virtual vCenter cannot be used in this solution.
C.
vCenter heartbeat would need to be implemented to protect the vCenter and dependent
services DRS usesfor this level of protection.
Explanation:
The vCenter can be protected by VMware HA but is a requirement for HA configuration.
ThevCenter is also a requirement for DRS, DPN, network vMotion, and vMotion. For cases in
which functionalitysuch as this cannot tolerate outages of several minutes in the event of a major
event, VMware has a productcalled vCenter heartbeat. It can give true application protection
without an outage to the vCenter application.
