You have been asked to design a system with following VMware functionality enabled

R001 : VMware HA must be functional.
R002 : VMware SRM can be used between two sites for DR processes.
R003 : You must be able to see all hosts from a single pane of glass.

From these requirements :

A vSphere 5.0 VCSA can provides an acceptable solution.

A vSphere 5.0 Windows-based vCenter can provide an acceptable

The requirements cannot be met.

Explanation :
The VCSA can function with VMware SRM. However, for SRM functionality, both sites require a vCenter installation. This would limit the choice of single-glass-pane management to Linked mode. A Linked mode installation requires Microsoft technology in the ADAM instance, and thus eliminates the VCSA choice.

Which of the following will still function if vCenter crashes?


HA
DRS
FT
Storage DRS
