VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 65

A Primary Fault Tolerant VM is performing poorly despite its ESXi host having adequate resources and CPUs are idle. Other hosts in the cluster are much more heavily utilized.
What is the cause?

Answer options

• A. The Secondary VM is assigned to a different portgroup than the Primary.
• B. The Secondary VM is running more applications than the Primary.
• C. The Secondary VM is running on an ESXi host that is overcommitted.
• D. The vMotion network has not been configured for Jumbo Frames.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because if the Secondary VM is on an overcommitted ESXi host, it can affect performance negatively, even if the Primary VM has adequate resources. Options A and B do not directly relate to the performance of the Primary VM, while option D would pertain to network configuration rather than CPU resource allocation.
