VMware vSphere 7.x Professional for Service Providers — Question 56

An administrator manages a cluster containing Production and Test VMs. Production VMs run on a VSS port group and a storage array separate from the Test
VMs. The administrator wants to prevent large (>500GB) file transfers in Test from impacting Production.
Which two configuration changes should the administrator make to achieve this? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Migrate the VSS port groups to VDS port groups.
• B. Enable NIOC on the virtual switch.
• C. Install a second virtual NIC in the Production VMs.
• D. Move the Test VMs to a dedicated folder with CPU shares set to low.
• E. Move the Production VMs to a resource pool with a memory reservation.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers are A and C because migrating to VDS port groups can provide better traffic management and isolation for the Production VMs. Additionally, installing a second virtual NIC in the Production VMs can help distribute the network load, further isolating them from the Test VMs. Options B, D, and E do not directly address the issue of preventing Test VMs from impacting Production VMs during large file transfers.
