What is the minimum number of ESXi hosts required to support vCenter High Availability?
What is the minimum number of ESXi hosts required to support vCenter High Availability?
For vCenter High Availability, a minimum of three ESXi hosts is required. This setup includes an active node, a passive node, and a witness node, which should ideally be run on three separate hosts to ensure redundancy and high availability.
I thought the answer was "3" also, but found this here showing that "A cluster must contain at least two hosts." https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-BA85FEC4-A37C-45BA-938D-37B309010D93.html
vSphere HA needs a minimum of 2 hosts. vCenter HA is not the same thing. vCenter HA has three VMs (active, passive, and witness) that SHOULD run on three different hosts but don't technically HAVE to. This is a BS question.
B Correct - Passed 500/500 today 1-Mar-23
3 are needed for vcenter HA, 2 for vsphere HA
The question states "What is the minimum number of ESXi hosts required to support vCenter High Availability?"
3 for vCenter HA. 2 for vSphere HA
It's 2 for vSphere HA and 3 for vCenter HA.
vCenter HA = 3 minimum Host. vSphere HA = 2 minimum host.
2 for HA. 3 for DRS.
Correct answer: B A minimum of three ESXi hosts is strongly recommended. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-8FD87389-8CC9-4298-8B08-A1526FB44524.html
For VCENTER YOU NEED 3 hosts în order to have HA. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-8FD87389-8CC9-4298-8B08-A1526FB44524.html
B is correct. "A minimum of three ESXi hosts is strongly recommended." https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-8FD87389-8CC9-4298-8B08-A1526FB44524.html
vcenter ha i not a cluster, nor vsphere ha, so B, 3 osts
B is right https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-8FD87389-8CC9-4298-8B08-A1526FB44524.html
#3 correct : https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-8FD87389-8CC9-4298-8B08-A1526FB44524.html
I've configured HA on multiple environments with only 2 hosts, so I'm going to have to say C here.

What is the correct answer?
2 = "Minimum 2 ESX hosts are required for setting up HA. However, to ensure redundancy and maximum Fault Tolerance protection, you should have a minimum of three hosts in the cluster." https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Smart-Assurance/10.1.0/sa-ui-platform-user-config-guide-101/GUID-FCB6D75D-4CFD-4406-88E5-2DE160EBFA3C.html
