2V0-621 · Question #259
An administrator observes a warning on the vSphere Availability (HA) cluster. This host currently has no management network redundancy Which two actions would address the warning? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is C. Include the advanced HA parameter das.ignoreRedundantNetWarning. D. Add an additional uplink to the management vmknic. The vSphere HA management network redundancy warning can be resolved either by suppressing it with the correct advanced parameter or by physically adding a redundant uplink to the management vSwitch.

Why each option
The vSphere HA management network redundancy warning can be resolved either by suppressing it with the correct advanced parameter or by physically adding a redundant uplink to the management vSwitch.
das.ignoreNetWarningRedundancy is not a valid vSphere HA advanced parameter - the correct parameter name is das.ignoreRedundantNetWarning, making this entry nonfunctional.
Adding a second management vmknic to the same vSwitch does not resolve the warning if that vSwitch still has only one physical uplink, because the redundancy gap is at the physical NIC layer, not the vmkernel adapter layer.
das.ignoreRedundantNetWarning is the valid vSphere HA advanced configuration parameter that instructs the HA agent to suppress the management network redundancy warning. Setting this parameter is appropriate when the administrator acknowledges the single-path risk but cannot immediately add physical redundancy.
Adding an additional physical uplink to the vSwitch that carries the management vmknic provides true NIC teaming redundancy for the management network. This directly eliminates the underlying condition causing the HA warning by ensuring the management path has a failover link.
