An administrator is investigating a VM that was slow between 2:00 PM and 2:30 PM. The administrator has performance charts available. Which set of metrics should the administrator examine to determine if the slowness was caused by CPU, memory, or disk?

CPU 'Idle', Memory 'Swap used', Disk 'I/O rate'

CPU 'Ready', Memory 'Balloon', Disk 'Latency'

CPU 'Used', Memory 'Consumed', Disk 'Throughput'

CPU 'Usage', Memory 'Active', Disk 'Read latency'

An administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue where a VM is slow, but the host and cluster show low CPU and memory usage. The administrator suspects storage latency. Which tool or view should the administrator use to confirm the storage latency for that specific VM?

vSphere Client's Monitor > Performance tab for the host, selecting 'Storage'

vRealize Operations Manager's 'Troubleshoot' view for the VM

esxtop on the host, pressing 'd' to view disk metrics for all VMs

vSphere performance charts for the VM, selecting the 'Disk' counter and looking at 'Latency' metrics

A company runs a vSphere cluster that hosts VMs for two departments: Finance and Engineering. The Finance VMs must always have a guaranteed minimum amount of CPU and memory, while Engineering VMs are allowed to use any spare capacity. The administrator wants to prevent Finance VMs from being impacted by Engineering VMs during peak load. What should the administrator configure?

Enable VMware vSphere High Availability (HA) with admission control to reserve resources for the Finance VMs.

Create two resource pools, assign Finance VMs to one and Engineering VMs to the other, and set reservations on the Finance pool.

Set CPU and memory shares to High on all Finance VMs and Low on all Engineering VMs.

Create two DRS affinity rules to keep Finance VMs on separate hosts from Engineering VMs.
