Administering Windows Server 2012 — Question 33

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a member server named Server1. Server1 runs Windows Server
2012 R2 and has the Hyper-V server role installed.
Server1 hosts 10 virtual machines. A virtual machine named VM1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2 and hosts a processor-intensive application named App1.
Users report that App1 responds more slowly than expected.
You need to monitor the processor usage on VM1 to identify whether changes must be made to the hardware settings of VM1.
Which performance object should you monitor on Server1?

Answer options

• A. Processor
• B. Hyper-V Hypervisor Virtual Processor
• C. Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical Processor
• D. Hyper-V Hypervisor Root Virtual Processor
• E. Process

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct choice is C, 'Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical Processor', as this monitors the logical processors allocated to virtual machines, which is essential for assessing the performance of VM1. Option A, 'Processor', refers to the physical processor usage, while options B and D focus on the hypervisor's virtual processors and root processors, which are not directly tied to the VM's performance. Option E, 'Process', pertains to individual processes rather than the overall processor usage of the VM.
