VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 6

An architect is tasked with planning the design of a new vSphere environment. When commissioned, this environment will be used to migrate an existing set of virtual machines.
An inventory of the existing infrastructure, including configured vCPU, RAM and storage sizes has been provided.
In order for each virtual machine to be migrated, which two data sources with peak and average utilization data are required for sizing? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. %Ready
• B. Disk Write latency
• C. CPU
• D. Ballooned memory
• E. IOPS

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answers, CPU and IOPS, are critical for understanding the performance needs of the virtual machines during migration. CPU provides insights into processing power requirements, while IOPS measures the input/output operations which are essential for storage performance. The other options, while important in certain contexts, do not directly address the overall sizing needs for migrating virtual machines.
