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 admini

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.

Virtual Hardware version 7 does not support exposing vNUMA topology to the guest OS; upgrading to Hardware version 8 or later is a hard prerequisite for vNUMA to function on any VM.

The parameter numa.vcpu.min defines the vCPU count above which vNUMA is activated - setting it to 5 means VMs with more than 5 vCPUs (such as this 6-vCPU VM) will have vNUMA enabled, satisfying the threshold requirement.

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.
