VMware vSphere 6 Foundations (VCP6-DCV) — Question 10

An administrator has configured an alarm to be notified when a virtual machine meets either of these conditions:
✑ High virtual CPU
✑ High active memory consumption.

The alarm is only triggering when both of the conditions are met.
What can be done to correct the alarm behavior?

Answer options

• A. Edit the alarm and select Trigger if ANY of the following conditions are satisfied.
• B. Edit the alarm and select Trigger if ALL of the following conditions are satisfied.
• C. Create two separate alarms, one for CPU and one for memory and link them together with ESXCLI.
• D. Delete the existing alarm and create a new event based alarm.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as selecting 'Trigger if ANY of the following conditions are satisfied' allows the alarm to activate if either the high virtual CPU or high memory condition is met. Option B is incorrect because it requires both conditions to be true for the alarm to trigger. Options C and D are unnecessary solutions when the alarm can be easily adjusted to meet the requirements.
