Which three vSphere 6.x features require a shared storage infrastructure to work properly? (Choose three.)
The correct answer is A. Storage Policy Based Management C. Fault Tolerance E. Dynamic Resource Scheduler. Storage Policy Based Management, Fault Tolerance, and DRS each require shared storage because they depend on multiple ESXi hosts simultaneously accessing or managing the same VM disk data.

Why each option
Storage Policy Based Management, Fault Tolerance, and DRS each require shared storage because they depend on multiple ESXi hosts simultaneously accessing or managing the same VM disk data.
Storage Policy Based Management (SPBM) enforces storage capabilities and compliance for VMs across a shared datastore, requiring a shared storage infrastructure so that policies can be assigned and verified by any host accessing that datastore.
vSphere Distributed Switch is a network-layer feature that centralizes virtual switch configuration across hosts and has no dependency whatsoever on shared storage infrastructure.
Fault Tolerance requires shared storage so that both the primary and secondary VM can access the identical virtual disk, enabling the secondary VM to take over instantly and seamlessly if the primary host fails.
Distributed Power Management (DPM) makes host power-state decisions by consolidating VMs before powering hosts down, and while it integrates with DRS, DPM itself does not independently require shared storage to execute those power-on or power-off actions.
Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS) uses vMotion to live-migrate VMs between hosts for load balancing, which requires shared storage so that a migrated VM retains uninterrupted access to its virtual disk on the destination host.
