Question 38

An administrator is responsible for the management of a VMware vCenter instance that is currently experiencing performance issues. The administrator quickly identifies that the CPU and memory utilization of vCenter is consistently over 80%. Upon further analysis, it seems that the vpxd process is contributing significantly to the performance issue.

A combination of which four steps should the administrator take to resolve the performance issues and ensure that a similar issue can be rectified without requiring downtime to vCenter moving forward? (Choose four.)

    Correct Answer: A, C, D, E

    To resolve the performance issues of the vCenter instance and ensure the issue can be rectified without requiring downtime in the future, the administrator should take the following steps: First, gracefully shut down vCenter using the vSphere Client. Next, enable CPU and Memory Hot Add on the vCenter virtual machine, allowing for dynamic addition of resources without needing to power down the machine in the future. Then, add additional CPU and memory to the vCenter Server Appliance to address the immediate performance issues. Finally, power on the vCenter Server Appliance using the vSphere Host Client since vCenter itself is down and cannot be managed through the usual vSphere Client.

ACDE: You cannot enable hot add while a VM is running, so you must shut it down first. B is wrong, you enable CPU & memory hot add, not just CPU. You add additional resources while it is powered off to increase performance. Lastly you must power it back on with the host client. You cannot power on vCenter with the vSphere client when vCenter is not running. ;)

System must be shut down to enable hot add, CPU + Memory needs to be selected for hot add and need to be changed to fix the issue. System needs to be powered-on using the vSphere Host Client since vCenter is down.

FaristaOptions: ADEF

ordering is required, A- gracefully shutdown. D- enable add ons. E- add memory. F- start vCenter.

NO man, there is a trick here . F doesn't work here because says vSphere Client. How can you use it if vCenter is down? so it must be the vSphere Host Client , So C is the one

atinivelliOptions: ACDE

but D enabling hot add is not mandatory IMO

avid_researcher

....and ensure that a similar issue can be rectified without requiring downtime to vCenter moving forward it's mandatory

Joaquinoo

Agree with avid_researcher. It is mandatory in this specific scenario.
