VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 9

A system administrator needs to configure a virtual machine to guarantee that it always gets the appropriate resources even if the host is overloaded and overcommitted.
Which setting on the virtual machine does the administrator need to configure?

Answer options

• A. vSphere High Availability Admission Control
• B. High Performance Power Policy
• C. CPU and Memory Shares to High
• D. CPU and Memory Reservations

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as CPU and Memory Reservations ensure that the virtual machine is allocated a guaranteed amount of resources, regardless of the load on the host. Options A and B do not directly control resource allocation under stress conditions, while C only prioritizes resource allocation rather than guaranteeing it.
