Question
An administrator wants to configure a High Availability cluster to allow virtual machines a 10 minute window to shut down in the event of a Host Isolation incident. What two configuration settings would satisfy this requirement? (Choose two.)
Options
- ASet the advanced option das.isolationshutdowntimeout = 10.
- BSet the advanced option das.isolationshutdowntimeout = 600.
- CConfigure Host Isolation Response to Shut Down and Restart VMs.
- DConfigure Host Isolation Response to Power Off and Restart VMs.

Why each option
Configuring a 10-minute HA Host Isolation shutdown window requires both the correct timeout value in seconds and the graceful shutdown response type.
A value of 10 sets a 10-second timeout, not 10 minutes, because the parameter uses seconds as its unit.
The advanced option das.isolationshutdowntimeout is measured in seconds, so a 10-minute window requires a value of 600 (10 x 60 = 600 seconds). Setting it to 10 would only allow a 10-second window.
The 'Shut Down and Restart VMs' response triggers a guest OS-level graceful shutdown, which respects the isolationshutdowntimeout value and allows the configured time window for the VM to shut down cleanly before HA acts.
'Power Off and Restart VMs' performs an immediate hard power-off and does not invoke the isolationshutdowntimeout grace period at all.
