An administrator is having a problem configuring Storage I/O Control on a Datastore. Which two conditions could explain the issue? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. A host is running ESXi 4.0. B. An ESXi host does not have appropriate licensing. SIOC requires ESXi 4.1 or later on every host accessing the datastore and also requires Enterprise Plus licensing; a host running ESXi 4.0 or lacking proper licensing will block SIOC configuration.

Why each option

SIOC requires ESXi 4.1 or later on every host accessing the datastore and also requires Enterprise Plus licensing; a host running ESXi 4.0 or lacking proper licensing will block SIOC configuration.

AA host is running ESXi 4.0.Correct

SIOC was introduced in vSphere 4.1 and is not available on ESXi 4.0 hosts; if any host accessing the datastore runs ESXi 4.0, vCenter cannot enable SIOC because all participating hosts must support the feature.

BAn ESXi host does not have appropriate licensing.Correct

SIOC requires the vSphere Enterprise Plus license on every ESXi host that accesses the datastore; a host with an insufficient license level prevents SIOC from being activated on that datastore.

CThe vCenter Server version is 5.0.

vCenter Server 5.0 fully supports configuring and managing SIOC, so the vCenter version is not a blocking condition here.

DThe vCenter Server License is Standard.

SIOC configuration is controlled by host-level licensing, not by the vCenter Server license tier; a Standard vCenter license does not prevent SIOC from being enabled.
