2V0-622 · Question #37
An administrator wants to reduce the memory overhead for a 3D graphics enabled virtual machine (VM). What advanced feature can be added to the VM configuration file to reduce memory overhead?
The correct answer is A. vga.vgaOnly=TRUE. Adding vga.vgaOnly=TRUE to the VMX configuration file disables SVGA and 3D acceleration, reverting the VM to basic VGA mode and reducing its graphics memory overhead.

Why each option
Adding vga.vgaOnly=TRUE to the VMX configuration file disables SVGA and 3D acceleration, reverting the VM to basic VGA mode and reducing its graphics memory overhead.
The vga.vgaOnly=TRUE parameter is a valid VMX advanced configuration entry that disables SVGA extensions and 3D acceleration for the virtual display adapter. This limits the VM to legacy VGA-only rendering, which removes the large memory reservation that VMware allocates to support 3D graphics features, directly reducing memory overhead.
vga.svgaEnable is not a recognized VMX parameter; the supported parameter for switching to VGA-only mode is vga.vgaOnly, not a negated SVGA enable flag.
svgaEnabled is not a valid VMX configuration key; no such parameter exists in the VMware VMX configuration reference for controlling SVGA or 3D graphics memory.
svgaDisable is not a valid VMX parameter name; VMware does not expose a boolean disable key with this identifier in the VM configuration file.
