In a vSphere environment, two resource pools are created as shown in the Exhibit. Each VM is configured with 1 GB of memory. When the administrator tried to power on VM3, the operation failed. What ac

In vSphere resource pools, each VM requires a memory reservation to power on; if the pool's total reservation is exhausted and no additional memory can be borrowed from the parent pool, new VMs fail to start. Increasing the Memory Reservation on the resource pool guarantees sufficient physical memory is committed, allowing VM3 to power on successfully.

Deselecting Expandable Memory Reservation removes the resource pool's ability to borrow memory from its parent pool, further restricting available memory and making it harder - not easier - for VM3 to power on.

Increasing CPU Reservation only affects processor resource allocation and has no bearing on the memory shortage that is preventing VM3 from powering on.

Deselecting Expandable CPU Reservation limits CPU borrowing from the parent pool, which does not address the memory-related failure preventing VM3 from powering on.
