Methods to Deploy an OVF Template with Multiple VMs

AB.

OVF (Open Virtualization Format) templates can be used to deploy multiple virtual machines (VMs) as a single entity. The following are two valid methods to deploy an OVF template that consists of two or more VMs:

1. Deploy on a vSphere DRS enabled cluster: DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) is a feature of vSphere that enables the automated allocation of virtual machines across a cluster of ESXi hosts based on resource usage and availability. When deploying an OVF template that consists of multiple VMs on a DRS enabled cluster, the VMs can be automatically distributed across the ESXi hosts based on resource availability. This ensures that the VMs are optimally placed on the ESXi hosts and resource contention is minimized.

2. Deploy on a vSphere HA enabled cluster: HA (High Availability) is a feature of vSphere that enables automatic recovery of virtual machines in the event of an ESXi host failure. When deploying an OVF template that consists of multiple VMs on an HA enabled cluster, the VMs are automatically protected by HA. If an ESXi host fails, the affected VMs are automatically restarted on other available ESXi hosts in the cluster. This ensures that the VMs are highly available and downtime is minimized.

Therefore, options B and C are the correct answers. Options A and D are not valid methods for deploying an OVF template that consists of two or more VMs, as they do not provide the automated distribution of resources across a cluster or the automatic recovery of VMs in the event of a host failure.
