VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 121

An administrator suspects poor VM performance. The administrator runs esxtop and sees the following output from the CPU and memory screens:
✑ 6:48:19pm up 4:22, 528 worlds, 8 VMs, 16 vCPUs, CPU load average: 0.26, 0.36, 0.16
✑ VMKMEM/MB: 8151 managed: 407 minfree, 3055 rsvd, 5095 ursvd, high state
What can the administrator conclude from this output?

Answer options

• A. The host has too many worlds running.
• B. The host is ballooning.
• C. The host has adequate memory.
• D. The host is under CPU pressure.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the memory output shows that the host has managed memory well above the minimum free threshold, indicating adequate memory resources. Option A is incorrect as 528 worlds is not excessive for 16 vCPUs. Option B is wrong since there is no indication of ballooning in the memory stats provided. Option D is also incorrect as the CPU load average is low, suggesting the CPU is not under pressure.
