In this challenge, you will configure high availability for a vSphere cluster. First, you will configure redundancy for the management network on the VMware ESXi hosts. Next, you will create a cluster, and then you will add hosts to the cluster. Finally, you will configure high availability on the cluster, and then you will evaluate the failover actions taken by vSphere when failures occur. Note: Once you begin the challenge, you will not be able to pause, save, or return to your challenge. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge before you start.
