An administrator needs to create an alarm to monitor when a specific ESXi host in an HA/DRS cluster becomes disconnected from other vSphere components like HA agents or the vCenter server.
Which process must the administrator use to accomplish this?
A. Define a Host type alarm, monitor for the event Cannot connect host, and supply a conditional trigger on Host name equal to a specific label.
B. Define a Cluster type alarm, monitor for the event Cannot connect host, and supply a conditional trigger on Host name equal to a specific label.
C. Define a Cluster type alarm, monitor for the event Host status changed, and supply a specific label for each host.
D. Define a Host type alarm, monitor for the condition Host status changed, and supply a specific label for each host.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: The alarm should get triggered when the host in a cluster becomes disconnected thus a Host type alarm must be configured.
Incorrect Answers:
B: You will require a Host type alarm and not a cluster type alarm because the alarm is to be triggered when a host in the cluster becomes disconnected.
C: A Cluster type alarm would be incorrect to configure if you want the alarm to be triggered when a host in the cluster becomes disconnected, not the cluster. Monitoring the Host status changed for each host in the cluster is not what is required.
D: A host type alarm would be correct, but you only need to create the alarm on a specific host and not on each of the hosts.
