Which procedure should the administrator perform to accomplish this task?

A vSphere administrator needs to enable Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS) in an existing
vSphere environment:

• The environment contains a High Availability (HA) cluster with eight ESXi hosts.
• Six ESXi hosts are not in a cluster.
• DRS should be used on as many hosts as possible.
• Initial placement of virtual machines should be automatically performed.
• Migration recommendations should be provided, but not performed without approval.

Which procedure should the administrator perform to accomplish this task?

A.
Select the datacenter and create a DRS cluster. Add the six remaining hosts to this cluster,
then enable DRS. Edit the DRS settings and change the automation level to Partial.

B.
Select the existing HA cluster. Add the six remaining hosts to the cluster. Enable DRS, then edit
the settings and change the automation level to Manual.

C.
Select the datacenter and create a DRS cluster. Add the six remaining hosts to this cluster,
then enable DRS. Edit the DRS settings and change the automation level to Manual.

D.
Select the existing HA cluster. Add the six remaining hosts to the cluster. Enable DRS, then edit
the settings and change the automation level to Partial.

Answer should be B

Automation level to manual.

Answer D is correct.

Manual

The DRS cluster will make recommendations to an administrator, but no automated actions will be taken. The administrator must manually carry out any recommendations. This is a good setting if you just want to see what impact DRS might have on your environment.

Partially automated

Partially automated DRS clusters are pretty common. Clusters configured for partial automation will automatically place new virtual machines on existing hosts based on performance and resource criteria. However, after the initial placement event, which may result in recommendations to move other workloads to accommodate the new virtual machine, DRS operates the same way that it does when Manual DRS is use.

Hosts per cluster 32
Virtual machines per cluster 4000
Virtual machines per host 512

Resource Pool
Resource pools per host 1600
Children per resource pool 1024
Resource pool tree depth 82
Resource pools per cluster 1600
1. This limit does not apply to virtual disks.
A virtual machine enabled with Fault Tolerance
counts as two virtual machines.
2. Additional 4 resource pools are used by system internals

You all wrong lol answer is A.
It said nothing about the admin wanting the new servers to be HA enabled JUST DRS. Making them HA enable is going to make a huge difference on the amount of vms the 6 hosts can run so not something to over look.

Second that, Im wrong 😛 presumed it was HA/DRS to start with….

It says existing Vsphere invironment, so D should be right

When you set the vSphere DRS automation level for the virtual machine to Partially Automated, vCenter Server will perform initial placement of virtual machines when they are powered on and will provide migration recommendations for them.

Base on the question,initial placement of virtual machines should be automatically performed. B,C out, the correct one is D
