An administrator is unable to move a storage resource when using Workload Management. What is the underlying reason for this problem?

Question

Options

• ADRS is not enabled for this cluster.
• BStorage DRS is not enabled for this cluster.
• CStorage DRS is configured only for cross-datacenter migrations.
• DDRS is not set to fully automated.

• B

• C

• D

Explanation

Storage DRS (SDRS) is the specific vSphere feature responsible for managing and migrating storage resources across datastores, and Workload Management depends on it being enabled to perform storage moves. Without SDRS enabled on the datastore cluster, the system simply lacks the mechanism to relocate storage workloads, regardless of other settings.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (DRS not enabled): Compute DRS handles VM migration between hosts, not storage - it's the wrong layer entirely.
• C (cross-datacenter only): Storage DRS has no such cross-datacenter-only restriction mode; this option is fabricated.
• D (DRS not fully automated): DRS automation level governs compute load balancing behavior, not storage movement capability.

Memory tip: Split the concepts cleanly - DRS = compute (hosts), Storage DRS = storage (datastores). Any question about moving storage resources points to Storage DRS, not regular DRS.
