2V0-622 · Question #512

A vSphere Administrator has received complaints that an MSCS cluster is failing over during vMotion operations. What action would minimize migrations for only the MSCS VMs?

The correct answer is A. Configure the VM DRS Automation level to override as Partially Automated.. Applying a per-VM DRS automation override of Partially Automated prevents DRS from automatically vMotioning only the MSCS cluster VMs, without altering behavior for any other VM in the cluster.

Why each option

Applying a per-VM DRS automation override of Partially Automated prevents DRS from automatically vMotioning only the MSCS cluster VMs, without altering behavior for any other VM in the cluster.

AConfigure the VM DRS Automation level to override as Partially Automated.Correct

A per-VM DRS automation level override scoped to the MSCS VMs sets those specific VMs to Partially Automated, meaning DRS generates recommendations for them but requires manual approval before migrating. This prevents unexpected vMotions that cause MSCS failovers while leaving the cluster-wide automation policy intact for all other VMs.

BConfigure the migration threshold to Conservative for the vSphere DRS cluster.

Setting the migration threshold to Conservative for the entire cluster reduces migrations cluster-wide, not just for MSCS VMs, and does not provide targeted control.

CChange the pathing policy to Round Robin for MSCS RDMs.

Changing the SCSI pathing policy to Round Robin for RDMs addresses multipathing behavior, not DRS-initiated vMotion migrations that cause MSCS failovers.

DConfigure the vSphere DRS cluster to be Partially Automated.

Changing the DRS cluster automation level to Partially Automated affects every VM in the cluster, not only the MSCS VMs, making it a broader and less precise solution.
