2V0-622D Question #176: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is A: Increase Memory Reservation.. When a VM fails to power on due to insufficient memory in a resource pool, increasing the Memory Reservation on the resource pool provides the guaranteed physical memory required for the VM to start.
Section 5 – Administer and Protect vSphere 6.5 Resources
Question
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 action in the resource pool settings will allow VM3 to power on successfully?
Exhibit
Options
- AIncrease Memory Reservation.
- BDeselect Expandable Memory Reservation
- CIncrease the CPU Reservation
- DDeselect Expandable CPU Reservation.
Explanation
When a VM fails to power on due to insufficient memory in a resource pool, increasing the Memory Reservation on the resource pool provides the guaranteed physical memory required for the VM to start.
Common mistakes.
- B. 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.
- C. Increasing CPU Reservation only affects processor resource allocation and has no bearing on the memory shortage that is preventing VM3 from powering on.
- D. Deselecting Expandable CPU Reservation limits CPU borrowing from the parent pool, which does not address the memory-related failure preventing VM3 from powering on.
