2V0-621 Question #162: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is B: Upgrade to Virtual Hardware version 8.. vNUMA requires Virtual Hardware version 8 or later and the vCPU count must exceed the numa.vcpu.min threshold, which defaults to 9 and must be lowered to 5 for a 6-vCPU VM to qualify.
Question
An administrator has a virtual machine configured with the following settings: ESXi version: 5.1 CPU: vCPUs 6 Memory: 48GB Hardware version: 7 VMware Tools: Installed Which two actions must the administrator take in order to utilize vNUMA? (Choose two.)
Options
- AUpgrade the ESXi host to vSphere 5.5 or later.
- BUpgrade to Virtual Hardware version 8.
- CConfigure numa.vcpu.min to 5
- DConfigure numa.vcpu.min to 6
Explanation
vNUMA requires Virtual Hardware version 8 or later and the vCPU count must exceed the numa.vcpu.min threshold, which defaults to 9 and must be lowered to 5 for a 6-vCPU VM to qualify.
Common mistakes.
- A. vNUMA was introduced in vSphere 5.0, so ESXi 5.1 already supports the feature natively; upgrading the ESXi host version is not a required step to enable vNUMA.
- D. Setting numa.vcpu.min to 6 means vNUMA is only activated for VMs with more than 6 vCPUs, so a VM with exactly 6 vCPUs would not cross the threshold and vNUMA would remain disabled.
Concept tested. vNUMA prerequisites - hardware version and vcpu.min threshold
