VMware vSphere 7.x Delta — Question 30

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

The correct answers, B and D, address the proactive management of resources. Enabling VMware vRealize Operations Manager Integration provides insights into performance and resource allocation, while Predictive DRS helps anticipate resource needs based on historical usage patterns. Options A and E may improve performance but do not directly address the underlying issue of load balancing during peak times, and C does not specifically mitigate the impact of the data load.
