VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 99

A cluster contains database VMs which have low utilization, except during a weekly data load that causes extremely high utilization.
As DRS balances the VM load, there is an extended period of slow performance.
Which two actions could be taken to reduce the impact of the recurring data load? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Increase the number of vCPUs on the database VMs.
• B. Enable VMware vRealize Operations Manager Integration with VMware vCenter.
• C. Enable Proactive HA on the cluster.
• D. Enable Predictive DRS on the cluster.
• E. Increase the RAM allocated to the database VMs.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Enabling VMware vRealize Operations Manager Integration with VMware vCenter provides insights and analytics that help in managing resources effectively during high utilization periods. Predictive DRS uses historical data to anticipate resource needs and can proactively allocate resources to reduce performance issues, making both options B and D correct. Options A, C, and E do not directly address the need for proactive resource management during the specific high-utilization data load.
