  Initial placement of virtual machines should be automatically performed.

  Migration recommendations should be provided, but not performed without approval. Which procedure should the administrator perform to accomplish this task?

  A.

  Select the datacenter and create a DRS cluster. Add the six remaining hosts to this cluster, then enable DRS. Edit the DRS settings and change the automation level to Partial.

  B.

  Select the existing HA cluster. Add the six remaining hosts to the cluster. Enable DRS, then edit the settings and change the automation level to Manual.

  C.

  Select the datacenter and create a DRS cluster. Add the six remaining hosts to this cluster, then enable DRS. Edit the DRS settings and change the automation level to Manual.

  D.

  Select the existing HA cluster. Add the six remaining hosts to the cluster. Enable DRS, then edit the settings and change the automation level to Partial.

  Correct Answer: D
