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
✓
Configured VM-Host and VM-VM affinity or anti-affinity rules.
DRS evaluates CPU load, memory utilization, network load (if net-aware DRS is enabled), and affinity rules.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Physical switch port VLAN tagging and trunk configurations.
Why it's wrong here
Physical switch configurations are managed externally and not evaluated by DRS algorithms.
- ✓
Configured VM-Host and VM-VM affinity or anti-affinity rules.
Why this is correct
Affinity rules dictate strict placement constraints that DRS must respect.
- ✓
Network load balancing metrics when network-aware DRS is enabled.
Why this is correct
Network-aware DRS factors network utilization into placement decisions.
- ✓
CPU utilization and active memory usage on ESXi hosts in the cluster.
Why this is correct
CPU and memory load balancing are primary drivers for DRS calculations.
- ✗
Datastore capacity free space thresholds.
Why it's wrong here
Datastore space is managed by Storage DRS, not compute DRS.
