What action should the vSphere administrator take to allow for a new vApp to be created in the cluster?
A. Enable Distributed Resource Scheduling on the cluster
B. Create a Resource Pool in the cluster, and create the vApp in the Resource Pool
C. Enable High Availability on the cluster
D. Create a new Datacenter, and create the vApp in the new Datacenter
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The exhibit shows that we are trying to create a vApp at the cluster level. To be able to create a vApp at the cluster level, DRS needs to be enabled on the cluster.
A vApp allows you to perform resource management and certain other management activities such as power operations for multiple virtual machines at the same time. You can think of the vApp as the container for the virtual machines, and you can perform the operations on the container.
When you create a vApp, you can add it to a folder, standalone host, resource pool, cluster enabled for DRS, or another vApp.
Prerequisites
Verify that one of those objects is available in your datacenter.
A standalone host that is running ESX 4.0 or greater.
A cluster that is enabled for DRS.
Incorrect Answers:
B: It is not necessary to create a Resource Pool in the cluster. Every cluster has an invisible root resource pool that contains all the resources in the cluster. Any VMs, vApps or even resource pools would be created in the root resource pool. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
C: High Availability is not a requirement for creating a vApp. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
D: It is not necessary to create a new datacenter. You can create a vApp in the cluster in the existing datacenter (when DRS is enabled on the cluster).
Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
