Which two settings are required for Virtual Machine Component Protection (VMCP) to protect from All Paths Down (APD) and Permanent Device Loss (PDL)? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. Host Monitoring B. VM Restart Priority. VMCP requires Host Monitoring to be enabled as its foundational dependency, and VM Restart Priority to define how protected VMs are restarted after an APD or PDL event.

Why each option
VMCP requires Host Monitoring to be enabled as its foundational dependency, and VM Restart Priority to define how protected VMs are restarted after an APD or PDL event.
Host Monitoring must be enabled in the HA cluster settings because VMCP relies on the HA framework to detect and respond to storage failures; without Host Monitoring active, VMCP cannot trigger any protective actions.
VM Restart Priority determines the order and eligibility of virtual machine restarts following an APD or PDL condition, making it a required setting for VMCP to successfully recover workloads.
Virtual Machine Monitoring tracks guest heartbeats to detect VM-level failures and is a separate HA feature unrelated to storage path loss events handled by VMCP.
Response for Host Isolation governs HA behavior when a host loses network connectivity to the management network and is independent of the storage connectivity issues that VMCP addresses.
