A cloud administrator is tasked with deploying two virtual machines (APP01 and APP02) to a software-defined data center (SDDC) with multiple clusters hosted in VMware Cloud on AWS based on the following requirements:
APP01 and APP02 should NOT run on the same host.
Only three hosts in the SDDC are entitled to run the software installed on these servers.
All entitled hosts are in cluster 1.
Which two actions should the administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
The cloud administrator should create a VM-VM anti-affinity policy to ensure that APP01 and APP02 do not run on the same host. Additionally, by creating a VM-Host affinity policy, the administrator can ensure that both virtual machines are restricted to run only on the specific entitled hosts within Cluster 1. This configuration satisfies both requirements: separating APP01 and APP02 onto different hosts and restricting them to the entitled hosts.
Create a VM-VM anti-affinity policy: This policy ensures that APP01 and APP02 do not run on the same host. Create a VM-Host affinity policy: This policy is used to define the relationship between a group of virtual machines and a group of hosts. In this case, the administrator can create a policy that ensures APP01 and APP02 only run on the three entitled hosts within Cluster 1. This will restrict the virtual machines to run only on the specified hosts that are entitled to run the software installed on the servers.
I think the answer will be B, plus either D or E depending on the DRS group setup D. VM-Host anti-affinity policy - here I can have all other clusters except cluster1 in the DRS Host group, and set APP01 and APP02 MUST NOT run on that DRS Host group E. VM-Host affinity policy - the other way around of D, set the DRS Host group to only has the 3 hosts in cluster1, and set APP01 and APP02 MUST run that DRS Host group You can see D and E can achieve the same result. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.resmgmt.doc/GUID-2FB90EF5-7733-4095-8B66-F10D6C57B820.html
Based on the provided requirements: APP01 and APP02 should NOT run on the same host: This requirement suggests the use of a VM-VM anti-affinity policy. Only three hosts in the SDDC are entitled to run the software installed on these servers and all entitled hosts are in cluster 1: This requirement suggests the use of a VM-Host affinity policy to ensure that the VMs run on specific hosts within Cluster 1. Therefore, the correct actions are: B. Create a VM-VM anti-affinity policy. E. Create a VM-Host affinity policy.
correct answer is B and DB. Create a VM-VM anti-affinity policy to ensure that APP01 and APP02 are not placed on the same host. D. Create a VM-Host anti-affinity policy to restrict the placement of virtual machines to the entitled hosts in Cluster 1. Option A is not relevant to this scenario because DRS and vMotion are not used to restrict virtual machine placement. Option C is not a viable solution because it does not guarantee that APP01 and APP02 will not run on the same host. Option E is also not appropriate because the requirement is to restrict placement to specific hosts rather than direct virtual machines to specific hosts.
I meant to B and D
B&D - Anti-affinity on both VM(can run on same hosts) and Hosts(Limit VMs to run on the 3 designated hosts!)
Question is correct. If the entitled hosts are in all in the same cluster and you create anti affinity rules vm to vm and you specify hosts that they are anti affinity to, you can keep drs on. Note it says should not must.
A&B are correct
