Which of the following are requirements for a VMware HA cluster? (Choose Two.)
A. a private Ethernet network for all hosts
B. access to shared storage from all hosts
C. identical type and quantity of CPUs in each host
D. access to the virtual machine networks from all hosts
Leading the way in IT testing and certification tools, www.testking.com
- 132 -
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Clusters Enabled for HA For clusters enabled for HA, all virtual machines and their
configuration files must reside on shared storage (typically a SAN), because you must be
able to power on the virtual machine on any host in the cluster. This also means that the
hosts must be configured to have access to the same virtual machine network and to other
resources. Each host in an HA cluster must be able to resolve the host name and IP
address of all other hosts in the cluster. To achieve this, you can either set up DNS on
each host (preferred) or fill in the /etc/hosts entries manually (error prone and
discouraged).
