Question

An administrator observes that virtual machine storage activity on an ESXi 6.x host is negatively affecting virtual machine storage activity on another host that is accessing the same VMFS Datastore. Which action would mitigate the issue?

Options

  • AEnable Storage IO Control.
  • BConfigure Storage DRS.
  • CEnable the Dynamic Queue Depth Throttling option.
  • DConfigure the Disk.SchedNumReqOutstanding parameter.

Explanation

Storage I/O Control mitigates cross-host I/O contention on shared VMFS datastores by coordinating I/O prioritization and throttling across all hosts at the vCenter level. It is the purpose-built solution when one host's storage activity degrades performance for other hosts on the same datastore.

Common mistakes.

  • B. Storage DRS handles initial VM placement and migration across datastores for capacity and performance balancing, but does not throttle active I/O in real time between multiple hosts accessing the same datastore.
  • C. Dynamic Queue Depth Throttling adjusts a single host's queue depth locally based on detected congestion, but it does not coordinate I/O fairness across multiple hosts sharing the same datastore.
  • D. Disk.SchedNumReqOutstanding sets the maximum outstanding I/O requests per datastore per host, which can limit one host's throughput but provides no centralized cross-host arbitration comparable to SIOC.

Concept tested. Storage I/O Control for cross-host I/O contention
