VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 2

A recently deployed set of test virtual machines are impacting the performance of a company development team project datastore. The shared cache server appears to be suffering from storage congestion.
Storage I/O Control is already enabled on all company datastores.
Which two steps should the administrator take to improve the performance of the cache server? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Update the storage provider for the existing array.
• B. Create a claim rule to control the storage path.
• C. Configure the path selection policy.
• D. Configure storage shares per virtual machine.
• E. Configure storage limits per virtual machine.

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct answers are D and E because configuring storage shares and limits per virtual machine allows for better management of resources, ensuring that the cache server is not overwhelmed by the test VMs. The other options, such as updating the storage provider or configuring path selection policy, do not directly address the immediate performance issues caused by the existing virtual machines.
