VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 92

An administrator receives reports from the application team of poor performance of a virtual ma-chine (VM). The administrator reviews the virtual machine and discovers that it has 20 snapshots that are over 12 months old.

What could the administrator do to improve the VM’s performance?

Answer options

• A. Inflate the base disk to make space for future snapshots.
• B. Revert to the latest snapshot.
• C. Consolidate all of the snapshots into the base VM.
• D. Identify and delete the largest delta .vmdk file.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because consolidating the snapshots reduces the overhead caused by multiple snapshots and improves performance. Options A and B do not address the underlying issue of performance degradation caused by numerous snapshots, while option D may help but does not resolve the snapshot management problem.
