VCP-VVF IT Architectures Technologies Standards Practice Question
An administrator is designing a vSphere Foundation 9.0 cluster. When configuring high availability (HA) admission control, which admission control policy is recommended to ensure sufficient resources are reserved for failover without over-complicating capacity math?
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
✓
Percentage of Cluster Resources reserved for CPU and Memory.
Host failures to tolerate (FTT) or Percentage of Cluster Resources are standard, modern HA admission control policies that automatically scale as cluster size changes.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Percentage of Cluster Resources reserved for CPU and Memory.
Why this is correct
Correct. The percentage policy dynamically adjusts as hosts are added or removed, making it flexible and reliable.
- ✗
Static manual reservation of 32 physical CPU cores per virtual machine.
Why it's wrong here
Static per-VM reservations are inflexible and ignore cluster-wide aggregate capacity.
- ✗
Routing failover requests through an external public cloud broker.
Why it's wrong here
HA admission control is evaluated locally within the vCenter cluster.
- ✗
Disabling admission control entirely to allow 100% resource overcommit.
Why it's wrong here
Disabling admission control risks failing VM restarts during host outages due to insufficient cluster capacity.
