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
✓
Properly configured DNS and static IP addresses for all ESXi hosts and vCenter Server.
vSphere HA relies on cluster primary/secondary node elections, network heartbeats, and datastore heartbeats to function correctly.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Fully automated Storage DRS enabled on all datastores in the cluster.
Why it's wrong here
Storage DRS is not an HA prerequisite.
- ✓
Properly configured DNS and static IP addresses for all ESXi hosts and vCenter Server.
Why this is correct
Stable name resolution and networking are critical for HA agent communication.
- ✓
At least one shared datastore configured for datastore heartbeating in case management network partitions occur.
Why this is correct
Datastore heartbeats act as a secondary verification mechanism during network partitions.
- ✗
Enhanced vMotion Compatibility enabled across all participating cluster nodes.
Why it's wrong here
EVC is required for vMotion compatibility across different CPUs, not a prerequisite for HA.
- ✓
Management network redundancy configured with multiple VMkernel adapters for HA traffic.
Why this is correct
Redundant management networks prevent false isolation events caused by single-link failures.
