VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 59

A vSphere administrator notices performance issues with the vCenter Server Appliance. The CPU usage is over 70%.
Which two actions should the administrator take to investigate the performance issues? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Verify if all hosts are in a connected state.
• B. Use esxtop to identify which process are using high CPU.
• C. Use vimtop to identify which processes are using high CPU.
• D. Check the vCenter HA configuration.
• E. Check if vCenter Server is swapping.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answer is C and E because vimtop is specifically designed for analyzing vCenter performance and can provide insights into high CPU usage by processes. Additionally, checking for swapping is crucial, as it can significantly impact performance. The other options, while relevant to vSphere management, do not directly address the immediate investigation of high CPU usage in vCenter Server Appliance.
