Refer to the Exhibit.
An administrator is applying patches to a batch of ESXi 5.x hosts in an under-allocated HA/DRS cluster. An attempt is made to place the host into maintenance mode, but the progress has stalled at 2%. DRS are configured as shown in the exhibit. Of the four choices below, two would effectively resolve this issue.
Which two steps could be taken to correct the problem? (Choose two.)
A.
Manually migrates any running virtual machines to another host
B.
Set the cluster to Fully Automated
C.
Disable HA Monitoring to allow Maintenance Mode to proceed
D.
Set the cluster migration threshold to Aggressive

– If an ESX host is a part of VMware High Availability (HA) or DR’S cluster, check the Admission Control settings. You may have to disable this option if there are not enough resources to ensure fail over capacity.
– If you want vCenter Server to migrate your running virtual machines automatically to other hosts when placing your host in maintenance mode, DR’S must be enabled in your cluster in the Fully Automated mode.
So my responses are B and C. I think if you change DRS settings through a MM placement it will migrate them… please share your thoughts at: (and try it out in your lab) http://certcollection.org/forum/topic/143147-vcp-510-updated-dump-and-links/
I’ve tried with my lab.
Only A or Only B can finish all the job to let the host enter maintenance mode…
The question wants 2 steps, I still don’t know which 2 options are the correct answer.
Should be A and C. If strict admission control is enabled then HA will not move the vms to other hosts. First C disabling HA monitoring will allow machines to be migrated. Then A manual migration can be used to move machines off host.
