2V0-621 Question #212: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is A: Move vmnic1 to Standby adapters.. vSphere HA requires redundant management network paths and warns when only one physical NIC backs the management vmkernel port. Fixing this requires both a physical standby adapter and removing any port group override that limits failover to a single NIC.
Question
An administrator has recently configured HA on a cluster. After reviewing the summary tab on one of the hosts, the warning in Exhibit 1 is displayed: The administrator proceeds to view the management network port group data shown in Exhibit 2: The administrator then views the management network vSwitch as shown in Exhibit 3: Based on the exhibits, which two steps should be taken to ensure redundancy on the management network? (Choose two.)
Exhibit
Options
- AMove vmnic1 to Standby adapters.
- BAdd an additional vmknic to the Network Adapters and move it to Active adapters.
- CSet the advanced HA configuration parameter das.ignoreRedundantNetWarning to True.
- DUncheck the Override Failover Checkbox on the management network port group.
Explanation
vSphere HA requires redundant management network paths and warns when only one physical NIC backs the management vmkernel port. Fixing this requires both a physical standby adapter and removing any port group override that limits failover to a single NIC.
Common mistakes.
- B. Adding an additional vmknic creates a second software VMkernel interface but does not provide physical NIC redundancy if only one physical uplink backs the vSwitch, leaving the single point of failure in place.
- C. Setting das.ignoreRedundantNetWarning to true suppresses the HA alarm without correcting the underlying absence of physical NIC redundancy, which is not an acceptable resolution for production HA deployments.
