Question 28

An administrator has been asked to keep domain controllers running on separate ESXi hosts.

Which type of VM/Host rule must be configured to meet this requirement?

    Correct Answer: D

    To ensure that domain controllers run on separate ESXi hosts, you must configure a 'Separate Virtual Machine' rule within the VM/Host affinity rules. This rule explicitly forces specified virtual machines to run on different hosts, which is crucial for maintaining redundancy and fault tolerance of domain controllers by preventing them from being located on the same physical host.

dayanhayOption: D

D is correct, see the "you Are Here" indication. It means that the current state of the VM is under that snapshot. Even if deleted, the VM is still in the same state of the snapshot as no revert was executed in the question.

Please remove it from here was placed in the wrong question.

dinosanOption: A

The correct answer is A. Virtual Machines to Hosts. The Virtual Machines to Hosts rule is used to specify a preferred location for virtual machines on a specific ESXi host. By using this rule, an administrator can ensure that domain controllers run on separate ESXi hosts, which can improve security and availability. The Virtual Machines to Hosts rule is configured in vSphere DRS and is used to influence the initial placement and ongoing migration of virtual machines. The other options listed, Virtual Machines to Virtual Machines, Keep Virtual Machines Together, and Separate Virtual Machines, do not directly apply to the scenario described.

This is wrong. Virtual Machines to Hosts maps a VM group to a Host group. This does nothing to stop 2 VMs in a Host group ending up on the same Host. The correct answer is Seperate Virtual Machines, which is specifically what the question asks.

Exy212Option: B

the correct ans is b vm-vm

JunetGoyalOption: D

if you have more than one domain controller, cluster configuration you can go to VM/host rule, and set a separate host from drop-down menu then choose he VM's you want to put on separate host!! You don't need to create vm/host group as many people said under,

PabloCabOption: A

Isn't the answer A? (From ChatGPT) To keep domain controllers running on separate ESXi hosts in a VMware vSphere environment, you can use "Affinity Rules" or "Anti-Affinity Rules," depending on your specific requirements. Anti-Affinity Rule: An Anti-Affinity Rule ensures that the specified virtual machines (in this case, your domain controllers) do not run on the same ESXi host. To set up this rule: Navigate to your vSphere Client. Select the cluster where your ESXi hosts are located. Go to "Configure" and then "VM/Host Rules." Click "Add Rule" and select "Virtual Machines to Hosts" or a similar option. Specify the virtual machines that should not run on the same host (your domain controllers). Apply the rule to your cluster.

Hmmmmm, I see peoples' point about separating the VMs. Both work, I guess. But D might be the easiest way to go.

Kamal_SriLankaOption: D

D is right

KeifOption: D

D is the simplest way to achieve this, makes a general rule that keeps the VMs separate. A will also work but it requires creating two VM groups and two Host groups and then making two VM/Host rules, one for each VM group added to the two different host Groups; effectively keeping the VMs separated by explicitly assigning them to two different hosts.

MaxMinkOption: D

The answer is correct.

ch2023Option: D

D: is correct under VM/Host Rule there are two options Keep Virtual Machines Together or Separate Virtual Machines. so "D" Separate Virtual Machines is right

Kayu_SaiOption: D

I would say the answer is D. As per the link, using VM-VM affinity rules we can use rule separate virtual machines to run a host on a separate ESXi host. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.resmgmt.doc/GUID-7297C302-378F-4AF2-9BD6-6EDB1E0A850A.html

tocageekOption: D

Easiest solution is to create a "Separate Virtual Machines" rule

Exy212Option: D

You can create VM-VM affinity rules to specify whether selected individual virtual machines should run on the same host or be kept on separate hosts.
