VCP-VVF Vmware Vsphere Foundation Fundamentals Practice Question

An administrator is configuring a cluster in vSphere Foundation and wants to enable vSphere Fault Tolerance (FT) for a mission-critical database VM configured with 4 vCPUs. What prerequisite must the administrator verify regarding the ESXi host configuration?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

The ESXi hosts must be configured with dedicated high-speed vSphere FT logging networks.

Legacy FT supported only single vCPU VMs, but modern vSphere FT supports multi-vCPU VMs, requiring specific host licensing, high-speed logging networks (10GbE+), and compatible processors.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • The ESXi hosts must be configured with dedicated high-speed vSphere FT logging networks.

    Why this is correct

    vSphere FT requires dedicated high-bandwidth, low-latency network connections for synchronous state replication.

  • The underlying storage datastore must be formatted as VMFS-5 or VMFS-6 with ATS enabled.

    Why it's wrong here

    Standard datastore formatting is required for general VMs, but FT logging is network-centric.

  • The cluster must use shared storage with VAAI hardware acceleration enabled.

    Why it's wrong here

    VAAI is for performance offload, not an FT prerequisite.

  • The virtual machine must have CPU hot-add and memory hot-plug disabled.

    Why it's wrong here

    Hot-plug features are not FT prerequisites.
