Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 203

You have a Hyper-V host named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016. Server1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1. VM1 has the following settings:
✑ Nested virtualization is enabled.
✑ Dynamic Memory is disabled.
VM1 is currently running.
You need to adjust the amount of memory assigned to VM1 as quickly as possible.
What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. Change the memory buffer setting of VM1.
• B. Pause VM1.
• C. Shut down VM1.
• D. Enable Dynamic Memory for VM1.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

To change the memory allocation for VM1, the virtual machine must be powered off because dynamic memory is not enabled, preventing live adjustments. While changing the memory buffer or pausing VM1 are options, they do not allow for the required memory changes. Enabling Dynamic Memory for VM1 is also not possible until VM1 is shut down.
