A High Availability (HA) cluster is configured to respond to a given number of host failures. The cluster contains virtual machines configured with these settings: - VM1 has a 1GHz CPU reservation…

32MHz is the default HA CPU slot size applied only when no virtual machines have CPU reservations; since VM1 (1GHz) and VM2 (2GHz) have explicit reservations, the default is overridden and the largest reservation value must be used instead.

1GHz corresponds to VM1's CPU reservation, but HA slot sizing always uses the maximum CPU reservation across all powered-on VMs, which is VM2's 2GHz - not the smallest non-zero value.

vSphere HA admission control calculates the CPU slot size as the maximum individual VM CPU reservation across the cluster, which is VM2's 2GHz. The memory slot size equals the maximum memory reservation plus per-VM memory overhead; since no VM has an explicit memory reservation, the reservation component is 0MB, making a 2GHz CPU and 0MB memory slot the accurate result.

While this option correctly sets the CPU component to 2GHz, the truncated memory field implies a non-zero memory value, which is not consistent with the given configuration where no VM has any memory reservation.
