An administrator is configuring vSphere Lifecycle Manager to install patches to a vSphere cluster. The cluster runs workload virtual machines (VMs) that are incompatible with vSphere vMotion, and therefore cannot be live migrated between hosts during the installation of the patches. Which configuration in vSphere Lifecycle Manager will allow the administrator to reduce the downtime associated with the patching operation without migrating the VMs?
- Enable Distributed Power Management (DPM) and set the VM power state to the suspend to disk option
- Enable Quick Boot and set the VM power state to the suspend to disk option
- Enable vSphere High Availability (HA) admission control and set the VM power state to the suspend to memory option
- Enable Quick Boot and set the VM power state to the suspend to memory option
Answer(s): D
Explanation:
The administrator should enable Quick Boot and set the VM power state to the suspend to memory option, which will allow the administrator to reduce the downtime associated with the patching operation without migrating the VMs. Quick Boot is a feature that skips the hardware initialization phase during host reboot, which reduces the system boot time. Suspend to memory is an option that preserves the state of the VMs in the host memory and restores them from memory after the reboot, which minimizes the VM downtime. These two features work together to optimize the remediation process and speed up the patching operation.
