Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
In VMware vSphere 5, this HA functionality is fully automated and does not use any specific custom settings with regard to reservations or slot sizes.
VMware HA functions can request DRS to migrate workloads across the system in multiple rounds of vMotion tasks. This can help defragment the cluster and restart VMs that have been affected by a failed host.
