An administrator has a cluster of four ESXi hosts. A critical database VM and its companion application VM must always run on the same host to minimize network latency between them. The administrator wants to ensure this placement is maintained even during DRS load balancing. What should the administrator configure?

Create a DRS affinity rule that keeps the two VMs together.

Configure a VM-Host affinity rule to place both VMs on a specific host.

Create a DRS anti-affinity rule for the two VMs.

Set the DRS automation level to Manual for both VMs.

An administrator has a cluster of four hosts. A VM named DC-01 must run on a host that has a specific network configuration. The administrator wants to ensure DC-01 is always placed on one of two specific hosts that have this configuration. What should the administrator configure?

Create a DRS affinity rule between DC-01 and the other VMs.

Create a VM-Host affinity rule that places DC-01 on the two specific hosts.

Set the DRS automation level to Manual for DC-01.

Create a DRS anti-affinity rule between DC-01 and the other hosts.
