FAFEFEFF-56F7-4CDF-A682-FC3C62A29A95html

The calculation is as follows as well

ndash 25 is reserved for Admission control

ndash 25 = 14

ndash 24Ghz4 = 6 GHz reserved for admission control

ndash Total amount of CPU frequency in the cluster in 24GHz and 7GHz is already used by the 5 VMs

This ends to 7+6=13 that is ldquoreservedrdquo CPU available resource is 24 ndash 13 = 11 which is around 45 of 24GHz

101 An administrator finds that the Microsoft Exchange virtual machines are exhibiting network latency What two in-guest changes can help decrease latency (Choose two)

A LRO B TSO C SR-IOV D RVRDMA Explanation Using TSO and LRO on physical and virtual machine NICs improves the performance of ESXESXi hosts by reducing the CPU overhead for TCPIP network operations The host uses more CPU cycles to run applications If TSO is enabled on the transmission path the NIC divides larger data chunks into TCP segments If TSO is disabled the CPU performs segmentation for TCPIP TSO is referred to as LSO (Large Segment Offload or Large Send Offload) in the latest VMXNET3 driver attributes LRO reassembles incoming network packets into larger buffers and transfers the resulting larger but fewer packets to the network stack of the host or virtual machine The CPU has to process fewer packets than when LRO is disabled which reduces its utilization for networking httpskbvmwarecomsarticle2055140

126 What is a potential downside of having more than four paths per datastore A limits the storage protocols B increases storage latency for VM C limits the path selection policies D limits the number of LUNs per host Explanation While using more than the required number of paths restricts the number of LUNs you can present to a host it may also affect host resources such as CPU cycles and also every path from a host requires an initiator record and there may be a limit to the number of initiators per storage system

Large numbers of paths ie in excess of 4 per host may be required in environments where bursts of IO from other hosts sharing the storage system ports are unpredictable and severe for example boot storm scenarios where 8 paths per host might be plausible httpsdavidringie20150116vmware-vsphere-host-path-limit
