VMware Horizon 8 Specialist — Question 18

An administrator has enabled the allocation model in a policy and set the CPU overcommit ratio to 4:1 for all vSphere clusters in a vSphere datacenter.
Why would vRealize Operations report that the cluster has 0 days remaining when the actual CPU overcommit ratio is less than the 4:1 configured value?

Answer options

• A. The allocation model will always report zero remaining capacity when the actual ratio is less than the configured ratio.
• B. The allocation model does not account for powered off virtual machines.
• C. The CPU demand in the cluster is less than the total CPU capacity.
• D. The CPU demand in the cluster is greater than the total CPU capacity.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because if the CPU demand in the cluster surpasses the total CPU capacity, it leads to resource contention, which vRealize Operations identifies as having 0 days remaining. Options A and B misinterpret the allocation model's functionality, while C incorrectly states that lower demand would affect the remaining capacity reporting.
