VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator (2025) — Question 30

An administrator is troubleshooting a high CPU usage issue of the SDDC Manager VM. Access to SDDC Manager UI is exhibiting degraded performance.
What two steps should the administrator take to diagnose the issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Reboot the SDDC Manager VM to clear any temporary issues.
• B. Login to SDDC Manager using console with root credentials, run the top command to identify any services that may be consuming high %CPU.
• C. Upgrade the vSphere version to the latest release.
• D. Review the CPU usage of the ESXi management domain hosts to identify any that are overcommitted.
• E. Reconfigure the DRS settings to be more aggressive in load balancing.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because logging into the SDDC Manager and using the top command allows the administrator to identify specific services consuming high CPU resources. Option D is also correct as checking the CPU usage of ESXi hosts can reveal if any hosts are overcommitted, contributing to the performance issue. Options A, C, and E do not directly aid in diagnosing the current high CPU issue.
