2V0-622D Question #254: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is A: VMs will be sent down gracefully and powered up on other hosts in the cluster.. The 'Shut Down and restart VMs' isolation response uses VMware Tools to gracefully shut down guest operating systems before restarting the VMs on other healthy cluster hosts.
Question
A vSphere HA-enabled cluster is configured with a host isolation response of "Shut Down and restart VMs". A host in this cluster has a single NIC on the management network. If the management NIC on this host experience a failure, which will be the result?
Options
- AVMs will be sent down gracefully and powered up on other hosts in the cluster.
- BVMs will be vMotioned to a healthy host in the cluster.
- CVMs will be immediately powered-off and restarted on other hosts in the cluster.
- DVMs will continue running on the host because only the management network is affected.
Explanation
The 'Shut Down and restart VMs' isolation response uses VMware Tools to gracefully shut down guest operating systems before restarting the VMs on other healthy cluster hosts.
Common mistakes.
- B. vMotion requires an active network connection between source and destination hosts to transfer VM memory and state; a host with a failed management NIC cannot coordinate or complete a vMotion operation.
- C. An immediate power-off without a graceful shutdown describes the 'Power Off and restart VMs' isolation response, not 'Shut Down and restart VMs', which specifically uses VMware Tools for a clean guest shutdown.
- D. With a single management NIC failure the host is fully isolated from the cluster heartbeat network, which triggers the configured HA isolation response rather than allowing VMs to keep running on the isolated host.
