VMware vSphere 6 Delta (VCP6-DCV Delta) — Question 1

An administrator notices that 8 out of 10 virtual machines have memory ballooning and swapping. However, virtual machine 9 is not ballooning or swapping and virtual machine 10 is not ballooning but is swapping.
Which two statements explain the behavior of virtual machine 9 and virtual machine 10? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Virtual machine 9 has a 100% memory reservation.
• B. Virtual machine 10 has a memory limit configured.
• C. Virtual machine 9 has memory shares set to HIGH.
• D. Virtual machine 10 does not have Vmware Tools enabled or installed.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Virtual machine 9 is not experiencing ballooning or swapping likely because it has a 100% memory reservation, ensuring it always has the memory it needs. Virtual machine 10, while not ballooning, is swapping due to having a memory limit configured, which restricts its memory usage and leads to swapping when it exceeds its limit.
