2V0-622 · Question #199

A vSphere 6 High Availability cluster has been configured with default settings. Four virtual machines in the cluster have been configured with these priorities: Prod-DB. High Prod-Email: High Prod-VC

The correct answer is B. 2. The minimum number of VM Overrides needed is 2, achieved by setting the cluster default restart priority to 'High' so that the two High-priority VMs require no individual overrides.

Question

A vSphere 6 High Availability cluster has been configured with default settings. Four virtual machines in the cluster have been configured with these priorities:

Prod-DB. High Prod-Email: High Prod-VC. Medium Dev-VDI: Low How many VM Overrides would need to be defined at the cluster level to meet the restart priorities?

Why each option

The minimum number of VM Overrides needed is 2, achieved by setting the cluster default restart priority to 'High' so that the two High-priority VMs require no individual overrides.

A1

One override is insufficient because at least two VMs (Prod-VC and Dev-VDI) will always differ from whichever single cluster default is chosen.

B2Correct

The cluster-level default restart priority can be set to 'High,' which inherently covers Prod-DB and Prod-Email without individual overrides. Only Prod-VC (Medium) and Dev-VDI (Low) then deviate from that cluster default, requiring exactly 2 VM Override entries.

C3

Three overrides would be needed only if the cluster default remained at Medium, requiring individual overrides for Prod-DB, Prod-Email, and Dev-VDI - but adjusting the cluster default reduces this to 2.

D4

Four overrides would require every VM to be individually overridden, which is unnecessary since the cluster default can be aligned with the majority priority.
