VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 11

A cloud administrator is responsible for managing a VMware Cloud solution and would like to ensure that I/O-intensive workloads run in the most optimum way possible.
Which two steps should the administrator complete on I/O-intensive workloads to meet this requirement? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Ensure that the VMware hardware version is 7 or later.
• B. Enable the memory hot-add feature.
• C. Configure the LSI Logic Parallel SCSI controller.
• D. Configure the VMware Paravirtual SCSI (PVSCSI) adapter.
• E. Configure a maximum of two CPU cores per socket.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Choosing option A ensures that the virtual machines can leverage the latest features and performance improvements, while option D allows for better I/O performance due to the optimized nature of the PVSCSI adapter. Options B and C do not specifically enhance I/O performance, and option E limits CPU configuration rather than optimizing I/O.
