VMware vSphere 7.x Delta — Question 88

An administrator suspects poor VM performance. The administrator runs esxtop and sees the following output from the CPU and memory screens:
6:48:19pm up 4:22, 528 worlds, 8 VMs, 16 vCPUs, CPU load average: 0.26, 0.36, 0.16
VMKMEM/MB: 8151 managed: 407 minfree, 3055 rsvd, 5095 ursvd, high state
What can the administrator conclude from this output?

Answer options

• A. The host has too many worlds running.
• B. The host is ballooning.
• C. The host has adequate memory.
• D. The host is under CPU pressure.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the memory statistics indicate that the host has a managed memory of 8151 MB and a high state, suggesting that there is adequate memory available for the VMs. Option A is incorrect as having 528 worlds is not necessarily a problem if resources are sufficient. Option B is incorrect since ballooning occurs when memory is low, which is not the case here. Option D is also incorrect as the CPU load averages are low, indicating that there is no CPU pressure.
