An administrator is attempting to enable Fault Tolerance on a virtual machine but the operation does not complete successfully. Which could be two reasons for this? (Choose two.)

Question

Accepted Answer

B. The virtual machine has uncommitted snapshots. FT requires a clean, linear disk chain and cannot coexist with snapshots; uncommitted snapshots must be deleted or committed before FT can be enabled on a VM. C. vSphere HA is disabled for this virtual machine. vSphere HA must be enabled on the cluster because FT relies on HA infrastructure to monitor the protected VM and orchestrate failover to the secondary VM if the primary host fails.

Answer

A. The virtual machine has more than 1 vCPU. Modern vSphere FT supports up to 8 vCPUs per protected VM, so having more than 1 vCPU does not prevent FT from being enabled.

Answer

D. The virtual machine is located on vSAN storage. vSAN is an officially supported storage backend for FT-protected VMs and does not prevent FT enablement.

Answer

E. The virtual machine has over 32GB of memory assigned. vSphere FT supports VMs with up to 64 GB of memory, so a VM with 32 GB is well within the supported limit.
