2V0-621 · Question #205

Refer to the Exhibit. The Prod-DB virtual machine has a VM Override as shown in the Exhibit. What step, it taken, would require all virtual machines in the cluster to migrate automatically?

The correct answer is D. Change the Automation level to Use Cluster Settings. In vSphere DRS, a VM Override can set a custom automation level that differs from the cluster default. Changing that override to 'Use Cluster Settings' removes the exception, forcing the VM to follow the cluster-wide DRS automation level.

Why each option

In vSphere DRS, a VM Override can set a custom automation level that differs from the cluster default. Changing that override to 'Use Cluster Settings' removes the exception, forcing the VM to follow the cluster-wide DRS automation level.

ADeselect the virtual machine from VM Overrides.

Deselecting the VM from VM Overrides removes all per-VM override settings, but this only affects the single VM listed and does not guarantee all other VMs in the cluster will migrate automatically.

BAdd all virtual machines to the VM Overrides.

Adding all VMs to VM Overrides would give each VM its own custom setting, which could restrict automatic migration rather than enforce it cluster-wide.

CChange Response for Host Isolation to Use Cluster Settings.

Changing 'Response for Host Isolation' to 'Use Cluster Settings' only controls what happens when a host loses network connectivity, not whether DRS will automatically migrate VMs under normal load-balancing conditions.

DChange the Automation level to Use Cluster Settings.Correct

When a VM Override specifies a custom DRS automation level (e.g., Manual or Partially Automated), that VM is exempt from automatic migrations. Changing the automation level to 'Use Cluster Settings' reverts the VM to the cluster-wide DRS automation level. If the cluster is set to Fully Automated, all VMs - including this one - will then migrate automatically without exception.
