VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 94

An administrator has a virtual machine that requires four times the compute resources than other virtual machines on the same ESXi 6.x host.
How should the administrator configure the virtual machine settings, in order to be prepared for any resource contention?

Answer options

• A. Set the shares of the priority virtual machine to High and the rest to Low.
• B. Set the shares of the priority virtual machine to High.
• C. Set the shares of the priority virtual machine to High and the rest to Normal.
• D. Set the shares of the priority virtual machine to Normal and the rest to Low.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Setting the shares of the priority virtual machine to High ensures that it receives a larger portion of the resources when contention occurs, which is crucial given its higher demand. Options B and C do not adequately prioritize the other virtual machines, while option D does not provide enough priority to the virtual machine that requires four times the resources.
