Question 24

The customer is seeing high memory utilization on a mission critical VM. Users report that the application is unavailable. The guest OS does not support hot add components.

How should the administrator fix this issue?

    Correct Answer: C

    The guest OS does not support hot add components, meaning memory cannot be added to the VM while it is running. To address high memory utilization without causing further issues, the correct approach would be to schedule a maintenance window. During this window, the VM can be gracefully shut down to safely increase the memory assignment. This ensures that the application is not abruptly affected and allows for the necessary changes to take place efficiently.

C is correct like Fx2 said.

Fx2Option: C

If the guest VM cannot support hot-add, shut down and update is the only option before adding ram.

gh999lOption: C

When hot add is not available and application is already down then no issue in powering off and increasing the ram as it will be the only possible and easiest approach.
