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 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?
In a vSphere cluster with VMware High Availability (HA) and Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) enabled in fully automated mode, if a host fails, HA will restart the affected virtual machine on another host within the same cluster. After the HA restart, DRS will then optimize the placement of the restarted virtual machine based on resource availability and usage within the remaining hosts of that same cluster. DRS does not pro-actively move virtual machines to different clusters or hosts; it aids in resource management and load balancing within the existing cluster after the HA has performed the 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.

please provide the link to the answer
Right, DRS restarts the VM on another host when combined with HA.

Answer is C, same cluster, another node.
