VMware NSX-T Data Center for Operators — Question 17

A virtual machine running in VMware Cloud on AWS is experiencing poor CPU performance.
What are two steps the cloud administrator can take to troubleshoot this issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Physically access the console of the VMware ESXi host where the virtual machine resides and use the command line to review the logs.
• B. Use the Troubleshooting Workbench in VMware vRealize Operations Cloud to look for potential evidence.
• C. Set the power management policy on the VMware ESXi host to “High Performance.”
• D. Log in to the VMware ESXi host using SSH and run ‘esxtop’ to examine CPU statistics.
• E. Use the VMware vSphere Client to connect to the VMware vCenter which manages the virtual machine and examine its performance statistics.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

Option B is correct because the Troubleshooting Workbench in VMware vRealize Operations Cloud provides insights and evidence that can help identify performance issues. Option E is also correct as the VMware vSphere Client allows the administrator to check the virtual machine's performance statistics directly. The other options do not directly assist in diagnosing the CPU performance issue in the context of cloud operations.
