2V0-622D Question #276: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is A: Insufficient Capacity is available on the failover ESXi hosts.. VMCP will not restart a VM during an APD event if there are insufficient cluster resources to accommodate the VM on another host, or if the APD condition resolves itself before the restart timeout expires.
Question
A vSphere Administrator has VM Component Protection (VMCP) enabled, but the VM was not restarted when one of the VMFS datastores experienced an All Paths Down (APD) failure. What two scenarios would explain why the virtual machine was not restarted? (Choose two.)
Options
- AInsufficient Capacity is available on the failover ESXi hosts.
- BVM Monitoring is required in order for VMCP to failover during an APD event.
- CVMware Tools is not installed on the guest operating system for the VM.
- DThe APD failure was corrected before the VM could be restarted.
Explanation
VMCP will not restart a VM during an APD event if there are insufficient cluster resources to accommodate the VM on another host, or if the APD condition resolves itself before the restart timeout expires.
Common mistakes.
- B. VM Monitoring is a separate vSphere HA feature that monitors guest heartbeats and is entirely independent of VMCP - VMCP detects storage path failures at the ESXi layer and can trigger restarts without VM Monitoring being configured or enabled.
- C. VMware Tools installation in the guest OS is not a prerequisite for VMCP operation - VMCP monitors storage path state at the ESXi hypervisor level and does not rely on any guest OS agents or VMware Tools to detect APD or PDL conditions.
