Question 21

An administrator is monitoring the Nutanix v5.15-based AOS cluster performance logs and notices that a SQL server VM is greatly exceeding its intended maximum IOPS. The administrator has confirmed that a QoS policy was previously created for the group of VMs this server is a member of.

What are two reasons that this VM would exceed its maximum configured IOPS from the QoS Policy? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: C, D

    The SQL Server VM exceeding its maximum configured IOPS from the QoS Policy can occur for two main reasons. First, if the SQL Server VM has volume groups attached, the QoS Policy may not apply to the I/O operations of the volume groups, allowing it to exceed the set limits. Second, if the VM was cloned from another SQL Server VM that was a member of the QoS Policy, the new VM might inherit the QoS settings improperly, leading to an incorrect configuration that allows it to exceed the maximum IOPS.

C and D are corrects. If a VM has volume groups attached, then QoS is not applicable and While creating a clone of a VM, any QoS attributes throttle limit set on the original VM might not be applied to the new cloned VM

A. The VM is missing the required snapshot needed to implement the QoS Policy. D. It was cloned from another SQL Server VM that was a member of the QoS Policy. Explanation: The absence of the required snapshot: When a QoS policy is created for a group of VMs, it requires a snapshot to be taken in order to implement the policy. If the VM in question is missing this required snapshot, the QoS policy may not be enforced, allowing the VM to exceed its intended maximum IOPS. Cloning from another VM: If the SQL Server VM was cloned from another SQL Server VM that was already a member of the QoS policy, the new VM may inherit the QoS policy settings, including the maximum configured IOPS. However, if the new VM has different workload characteristics or if the QoS policy was not properly adjusted for the new VM, it may exceed the intended maximum IOPS.
