VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 3

A vSphere environment is configured with 1 Gigabit Ethernet for vSphere vMotion. The application team is complaining that when they try to migrate a powered-on virtual machine, the progress is slow and unsuccessful the majority of the time.
Which two recommendations should the administrator make to improve vSphere vMotion performance? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use at least two port groups.
• B. Use vSphere Storage I/O Control (SIOC).
• C. Use 10 Gigabit Ethernet or above.
• D. Use Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on the port group.
• E. Disable vSphere Fault Tolerance.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Choosing options A and C will significantly boost vMotion performance. Implementing at least two port groups increases the available bandwidth for the migration process, while upgrading to 10 Gigabit Ethernet provides a much faster data transfer rate. The other options, while helpful in certain contexts, do not directly address the bandwidth limitations faced during the migration.
