Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 96

An administrator notices that most of the VMs in the cluster are on one host. Users report that an application seems to respond slowly. The application server VM has significantly more memory assigned to it than other VMs.
How should the administrator fix this issue?

Answer options

• A. Migrate the VM to a different host.
• B. Add more memory to the VM.
• C. Increase the memory on the CVM.
• D. Reduce the amount of memory assigned to the VM.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct solution is to migrate the VM to a different host to balance the load across the cluster and alleviate the performance issues. Adding more memory or increasing the memory on the CVM won't address the issue of host overload. Reducing the amount of memory assigned to the VM may impair its performance further, rather than resolving the core issue of resource distribution.
