An administrator has noticed that virtual machine VM2 in the vApp show in the Exhibit is demonstrating poor performance. Which three changes, if performed separately, would improve the performance of
The correct answer is A. Remove the CPU limit on the vApp. D. Power off virtual machine VM1. E. Increase the CPU reservation on virtual machine VM2.. VM2's poor performance stems from CPU constraints at the vApp level and resource competition with VM1; removing limits or increasing VM2's reservation directly addresses these bottlenecks.

Why each option
VM2's poor performance stems from CPU constraints at the vApp level and resource competition with VM1; removing limits or increasing VM2's reservation directly addresses these bottlenecks.
The CPU limit on the vApp acts as a ceiling for all VMs within it - removing it allows the vApp's total CPU allocation to expand, giving VM2 access to more host CPU cycles.
Removing the CPU limit on the resource pool addresses a different layer of the resource hierarchy and may not directly benefit VM2 if the binding constraint is the vApp-level CPU limit shown in the exhibit.
Increasing the CPU reservation on VM1 guarantees more CPU for VM1, which reduces the pool of available CPU that VM2 can compete for, worsening rather than improving VM2's performance.
Powering off VM1 eliminates its CPU consumption entirely, freeing those cycles for VM2 to use without any configuration changes to limits or reservations.
Increasing the CPU reservation on VM2 guarantees a minimum amount of host CPU is always available to it, preventing VM2 from being starved when the host or vApp is under load.
