2V0-622 · Question #179

When attempting to place a datastore in Maintenance Mode, the task remains at 1%. What are two potential causes for this? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. Storage DRS is disabled on one or more virtual machine(s) disk(s). B. Storage DRS rules prevent migration recommendations for the disk.. A datastore stuck in Maintenance Mode at 1% typically means Storage DRS cannot generate migration recommendations for one or more disks due to per-disk overrides or conflicting placement rules.

When attempting to place a datastore in Maintenance Mode, the task remains at 1%. What are two potential causes for this? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AStorage DRS is disabled on one or more virtual machine(s) disk(s).
  • BStorage DRS rules prevent migration recommendations for the disk.
  • CStorage DRS datastores have insufficient space to accommodate failover.
  • DStorage DRS provisioning network has been limited with I/O control policies.

Why each option

A datastore stuck in Maintenance Mode at 1% typically means Storage DRS cannot generate migration recommendations for one or more disks due to per-disk overrides or conflicting placement rules.

AStorage DRS is disabled on one or more virtual machine(s) disk(s).Correct

If Storage DRS is disabled on a specific VM disk via per-VM Storage DRS overrides, vSphere cannot generate a migration recommendation for that disk, leaving it stranded on the datastore and preventing Maintenance Mode from completing.

BStorage DRS rules prevent migration recommendations for the disk.Correct

Storage DRS affinity or anti-affinity rules can prohibit the migration of specific disks to other datastores, causing the Maintenance Mode evacuation task to stall because no valid placement can be recommended.

CStorage DRS datastores have insufficient space to accommodate failover.

Insufficient space on other datastores would cause migration attempts to fail after recommendations are generated, not cause the task to hang at 1% before any migrations are attempted.

DStorage DRS provisioning network has been limited with I/O control policies.

I/O control policies on the provisioning network throttle I/O bandwidth but do not block Storage DRS from generating or executing datastore migration recommendations.
