VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 95

Per a customer request, a vSphere administrator increases the number of vCPUs in several VMs within a cluster. After the vCPU increase, the upgraded VMs exhibit slower performance. The vSphere administrator uses esxtop to check ESXi host performance.
Which two counters should be checked to detect CPU overcommitment? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. %SWPWT
• B. %USED
• C. %MLMTD
• D. %SYS
• E. %RDY

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers, %USED and %RDY, provide insights into CPU utilization and readiness of the VMs. %USED indicates the percentage of CPU resources being utilized, while %RDY shows the time VMs spend waiting for CPU resources, both crucial for identifying overcommitment. The other options do not specifically indicate CPU resource contention in the same way.
