The correct answer is B. Baseline documentation. To determine expected server performance for a new, slow server, an administrator should first use baseline documentation established for a known good server.
Question
Joe, an administrator, has cloned a new virtualized application server. The new application server runs for several months and meets performance expectations. After building a second application server from the clone, Joe receives a few reports that the second server is too slow. Which of the following should Joe use FIRST to determine expected server performance?
Options
- ANIC throughput monitoring tools
- BBaseline documentation
- CHBA throughput monitoring tools
- DChange management database

Why each option
To determine expected server performance for a new, slow server, an administrator should first use baseline documentation established for a known good server.
NIC throughput monitoring tools are used for current network performance, but without a baseline, it's difficult to know if the observed throughput is meeting expectations.
Baseline documentation contains records of normal performance metrics (e.g., CPU utilization, memory usage, disk I/O, network throughput) for a system when it is operating correctly, providing a crucial reference point. Comparing the current performance of the slow server against the established baseline of the working server will quickly highlight where the new server's performance deviates from expectations.
HBA throughput monitoring tools are used for current storage performance, but again, without a baseline, it's difficult to determine if the observed performance is sub-optimal.
A change management database tracks configuration changes but does not directly provide expected performance metrics for comparison.
