2V0-622D · Question #236

In vCenter Server 6.5, which two host states can be configured as remediation steps with Proactive HA? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. Maintenance mode E. Quarantine mode. Proactive HA in vCenter Server 6.5 supports two remediation host states - Maintenance Mode and Quarantine Mode - which are triggered when hardware health degradation signals are received from partner providers.

Why each option

Proactive HA in vCenter Server 6.5 supports two remediation host states - Maintenance Mode and Quarantine Mode - which are triggered when hardware health degradation signals are received from partner providers.

AMaintenance modeCorrect

Maintenance Mode is a supported Proactive HA remediation action that vMotions all running VMs off the degraded host and blocks new VM placement, fully evacuating workloads from hardware showing signs of failure.

BDisconnected

Disconnected is not a Proactive HA remediation state; it represents a loss of management connectivity to the host and is not a health-driven action that Proactive HA can configure.

CPowered off

Powered Off is not a supported Proactive HA remediation option; Proactive HA remediates through workload migration, not through powering down the host.

DStandby mode

Standby mode is used by Distributed Power Management (DPM) for power savings and consolidation, not by Proactive HA as a response to hardware health degradation.

EQuarantine modeCorrect

Quarantine Mode is a Proactive HA-specific state that prevents DRS from placing additional VMs on the degraded host while allowing existing workloads to keep running, offering a less disruptive remediation than Maintenance Mode.
