Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.10 (NCP-MCI) — Question 4

An administrator is experiencing a storage problem on a single Microsoft Windows 2019 VMs configured as follows:
• vCPU: 1
• vRAM: 8
• vSCSI: VirtIO SCSI Controller
• vDisk: 2, first 100 GB, second 250 GB
• vNIC: VirtIO Fast Ethernet
The AHV cluster is healthy and other Windows VMs are performing much better.
Which configuration should be reviewed to enhance performances to the VM?

Answer options

• A. Increase VM number of processors (vCPUs).
• B. Add a second virtual storage controller (vSCSI).
• C. Enable Balance TCP on bridge 0 (br0).
• D. Increase Controller VM (CVM) resources.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Increasing the number of virtual processors (vCPUs) allows the VM to utilize more resources, which can significantly enhance performance, especially for storage tasks. The other options, such as adding a second virtual storage controller or adjusting network settings, may not address the core issue of CPU resource limitations that are impacting performance.
