VCP-DCV vSphere Performance and Scaling Practice Question

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.

Host advanced system settings related to vNUMA:
  numa.vcpu.minPerMachine = "4"
  numa.vcpu.maxPerMachine = "8"

Based on the exhibit, which statement about vNUMA exposure to virtual machines is correct?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

VMs with 6 vCPUs will have vNUMA exposed.

The settings define that vNUMA is exposed to VMs with vCPUs between minPerMachine (4) and maxPerMachine (8) inclusive. Therefore, a VM with 6 vCPUs will have vNUMA topology exposed. VMs with fewer than 4 vCPUs will not have vNUMA, and VMs with more than 8 vCPUs will also not have vNUMA exposed because maxPerMachine is 8.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
The settings are invalid because minPerMachine must be greater than maxPerMachine.
Why it's wrong here
The settings are valid; min is lower than max as expected.
✗
VMs with 6 vCPUs will not have vNUMA exposed.
Why it's wrong here
Since 6 is between 4 and 8, vNUMA will be exposed.
✗
Only VMs with exactly 4 or 8 vCPUs will have vNUMA exposed.
Why it's wrong here
The range includes all vCPU counts between 4 and 8, not just the endpoints.
✓
VMs with 6 vCPUs will have vNUMA exposed.
Why this is correct
6 vCPUs falls within the configured range, so vNUMA is exposed.
