VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 82

An ESXi 6.x host consists of 24 logical cores. Hyperthreading is enabled on the host.
What is the maximum number of vCPUs that can be assigned to a virtual machine on this host?

Answer options

• A. 24
• B. 48
• C. 64
• D. 128

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The maximum number of vCPUs that can be assigned to a virtual machine is equal to the number of logical cores available. Since hyperthreading is enabled, the ESXi host provides 24 logical cores, allowing for a maximum of 24 vCPUs. Options B, C, and D exceed the available logical cores and are therefore incorrect.
