Correct answer & explanation

✓

Check host NUMA topology

NUMA-aware VM placement begins by inspecting the host's NUMA topology to understand node boundaries and memory topology (A). Next, the VM's vCPU count is compared to the node size to determine if it fits entirely within a single NUMA node (B). If it fits, the VM is assigned to a specific NUMA node (C). Then, memory is allocated from that assigned NUMA node to ensure locality (D). Finally, the VM is powered on with NUMA pinning to enforce the placement (E). This order ensures resource awareness and proper allocation before pinning.

Same concept, more angles

1 more way this is tested on 350-401

These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.

Variation 1. Drag and drop the steps of NUMA-aware VM placement process into the correct order, from first to last.

medium
  • ✓ A.Enable NUMA in the host BIOS
  • ✓ B.Configure NUMA interleaving in hypervisor
  • ✓ C.Create VM with NUMA node affinity
  • ✓ D.Pin vCPUs to specific NUMA nodes
  • ✓ E.Verify memory locality and performance

Why A: The order starts with enabling NUMA in the BIOS, then configuring the hypervisor, creating the VM with NUMA settings, and finally verifying placement and performance.
