VCP-VVF Vmware Vsphere Foundation Fundamentals Practice Question
An administrator is configuring a vSphere Foundation cluster and notices that virtual machines are migrating too frequently between ESXi hosts due to minor load fluctuations. Which DRS advanced option should the administrator adjust to reduce the sensitivity of migration recommendations?
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
✓
Set the DRS Migration Threshold slider to a less aggressive level (e.g., Priority 1 instead of Priority 5).
The 'Cost of migration / DRS aggressiveness' setting (or 'Metric' threshold) controls how aggressively DRS migrates VMs based on load imbalances.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Increase the memory overcommit ratio to 300%.
Why it's wrong here
Overcommit ratios affect memory allocation density, not DRS migration frequency.
- ✓
Set the DRS Migration Threshold slider to a less aggressive level (e.g., Priority 1 instead of Priority 5).
Why this is correct
Adjusting the migration threshold slider reduces unnecessary migrations by raising the threshold required for action.
- ✗
Set the VM/Host affinity rule state to 'Disabled'.
Why it's wrong here
Disabling affinity rules removes placement constraints rather than tuning migration sensitivity.
- ✗
Disable vSphere HA datastore heartbeating for the cluster.
Why it's wrong here
Datastore heartbeating controls HA isolation responses, not DRS load balancing sensitivity.
