The correct answer is B. Baseline documentation. When a cloned server shows unexpected performance degradation, baseline documentation provides the established performance benchmarks needed to determine whether observed behavior deviates from expected norms.
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
When a cloned server shows unexpected performance degradation, baseline documentation provides the established performance benchmarks needed to determine whether observed behavior deviates from expected norms.
NIC throughput monitoring tools measure current network interface activity but provide no reference for what performance should be expected on the cloned server.
Baseline documentation records the expected performance metrics of the original server at a known healthy state, providing an objective reference point for comparison. Without an established baseline, there is no standard against which to evaluate whether the second server's behavior is normal or degraded. This is the required first step in performance troubleshooting - compare current observed state to the documented expected state.
HBA throughput monitoring tools measure current storage I/O activity but cannot indicate what the expected performance baseline should be for comparison.
A change management database tracks changes made to systems over time but does not contain expected performance benchmarks or historical metrics for comparison.
