VMware vSphere 6.5 Professional (2017) — Question 27

A vSphere Administrator observes that the Primary VM configured with Fault Tolerance is executing slowly. After further investigation, it is determined that the
Secondary VM is on an overcommitted ESXi host.
What two methods will correct the problem? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Use Storage vMotion to migrate the Secondary VM to another datastore.
• B. Use vMotion to migrate the Secondary VM to a different ESXi host.
• C. Configure a CPU limit on the Primary VM which will also apply to the Secondary VM.
• D. Turn off and turn on FT in order to recreate the Secondary VM on a different datastore.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct solutions are B and D. Using vMotion (Option B) allows the Secondary VM to be moved to a less congested ESXi host, enhancing performance. Option D involves resetting Fault Tolerance, which can also relocate the Secondary VM to a different datastore, addressing the overcommitment issue. Options A and C would not resolve the performance issue as they do not address the ESXi host's capacity constraints.
