Refer to the Exhibit. An administrator receives the error message shown in the Exhibit. Which two actions can be taken to clear the warning? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is C. Set the advanced High Availability parameter Das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore to true. D. Add a shared datastore and reconfigure High Availability.. When vSphere HA reports insufficient heartbeat datastores, the warning can be cleared by either adding a qualified shared datastore or by suppressing the warning with the Das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore advanced parameter.

Why each option
When vSphere HA reports insufficient heartbeat datastores, the warning can be cleared by either adding a qualified shared datastore or by suppressing the warning with the Das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore advanced parameter.
vSAN datastores are not eligible for use as vSphere HA heartbeat datastores because HA heartbeating requires traditional shared datastores such as VMFS or NFS.
Das.heartbeatdsperhost is not the correct advanced parameter to suppress the insufficient heartbeat datastore warning - the valid suppression parameter is Das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore.
Setting Das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore to true instructs vSphere HA to suppress the insufficient heartbeat datastore warning without requiring additional datastores to be added, which is useful when no additional shared datastores are available.
Adding a shared VMFS or NFS datastore accessible to multiple cluster hosts and then reconfiguring HA gives vSphere the additional heartbeat datastore it requires, directly resolving the underlying cause of the warning rather than suppressing it.
