   A vSphere administrator is evaluating whether to use vCLS retreat mode for a cluster that is experiencing vCLS VM placement issues. The cluster has strict compliance requirements that mandate vCLS VMs remain on specific hosts. What is the most important consideration?

   • ARetreat mode will permanently disable vCLS VMs, violating compliance.
   • BRetreat mode will migrate vCLS VMs to a different cluster, violating compliance.
   • CRetreat mode will prevent vCLS VMs from being migrated, which may help maintain compliance.
   • DRetreat mode will increase the number of vCLS VMs, violating compliance.

   • APower off the vCLS VMs manually.
   • BEnable vCLS retreat mode for the cluster.
   • CIncrease the cluster's HA admission control settings.
   • DMigrate vCLS VMs to a separate cluster.

   A vSphere administrator is planning to enable vCLS retreat mode on a cluster that hosts mission-critical VMs. The cluster is running vSphere 8.x and has DRS and HA enabled. The administrator is concerned about the impact on cluster services during the retreat mode period. What is the most important consideration?

   • ARetreat mode will permanently delete vCLS VMs.
   • BRetreat mode will increase the resource consumption of vCLS VMs.
   • CRetreat mode will cause vCLS VMs to be migrated to a different cluster.
   • DRetreat mode will temporarily disable DRS and HA for the cluster.
