CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 70

A systems administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue with a virtual database server. The administrator has identified the issue as being disk related and believes the cause is a lack of IOPS on the existing spinning disk storage. Which of the following should the administrator do NEXT to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Upgrade the virtual database server.
• B. Move the virtual machine to flash storage and test again.
• C. Check if other machines on the same storage are having issues.
• D. Document the findings and place them in a shared knowledge base.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because checking if other machines are experiencing similar issues can help determine if the problem is isolated or widespread, which is essential for effective troubleshooting. Upgrading the server (A) or moving to flash storage (B) may not address the root cause without understanding the overall performance context. Documenting findings (D) is useful but not a direct step to resolving the immediate issue.
