QuestionQ68

Administrative and Operational Tasks

Because of a planned power outage, an administrator chooses to shut down the vSAN cluster with the Shutdown Cluster Wizard. The administrator first checks the vSAN health service to verify that the cluster is healthy, and then powers off all virtual machines (VMs), including vCLS VMs.

Which action must be completed before launching the Shutdown Cluster Wizard?

  • A Place all ESXi hosts into maintenance mode
  • B Disable cluster member updates from vCenter Server
  • C Turn off High Availability
  • D Shutdown vCenter
Explanation

vSphere High Availability must be turned off before the planned shutdown so it does not attempt to restart virtual machines that were intentionally powered off as part of the cluster shutdown process.
