VMware vSphere 7.x Delta — Question 29

Which feature allows a vSphere administrator to reduce power consumption on a cluster?

Answer options

• A. WOL
• B. BMC
• C. DPM
• D. DNS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

DPM, or Distributed Power Management, is designed to optimize power consumption by automatically powering down hosts when they are not needed and turning them back on when demand increases. WOL (Wake-on-LAN) and BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) are related to power management, but they do not actively manage power consumption in the same way as DPM. DNS (Domain Name System) is unrelated to power management entirely.
