Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Storage I/O Control (SIOC) enabled on all datastores.
Why it's wrong here
SIOC manages IOPS contention.
- ✗
Virtual Machine Component Protection (VMCP) set to disabled.
Why it's wrong here
VMCP should be enabled to protect against storage accessibility failures.
- ✓
vSphere High Availability (HA) enabled on the cluster.
Why this is correct
vSphere HA automatically restarts VMs on surviving hosts upon host failure.
- ✗
Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) enabled.
Why it's wrong here
EVC ensures CPU compatibility for vMotion, not automated HA restarts.
- ✓
vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) enabled with automated placement.
Why this is correct
DRS determines initial placement and post-failover distribution of restarted VMs.
