VCP-DCV vSphere Performance and Scaling Practice Question
Exhibit
vSphere DRS recommendation output: Cluster: Production Current load imbalance: 30% Recommended migrations: 1. Move VM 'Web01' from host01 (CPU usage 85%) to host04 (CPU usage 30%) Benefit: Improve balance by 10% 2. Move VM 'DB01' from host03 (CPU usage 90%) to host04 (CPU usage 30%) Benefit: Improve balance by 15% Note: host04 is in power-on state and has sufficient resources.
Refer to the exhibit. An administrator sees two DRS recommendations. Which action should the administrator take first to reduce cluster imbalance?
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
✓
Migrate DB01 to host04 first
The DB01 migration provides a higher benefit (15%) compared to Web01 (10%). Starting with the higher impact migration reduces imbalance more effectively.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Migrate Web01 to host04 first
Why it's wrong here
Web01 gives only 10% benefit, less effective than DB01.
- ✓
Migrate DB01 to host04 first
Why this is correct
DB01 provides a 15% benefit, which is higher, reducing imbalance faster.
- ✗
Migrate both VMs simultaneously
Why it's wrong here
Simultaneous migrations may cause resource contention; it's safer to do one at a time.
- ✗
Ignore the recommendations; the cluster is balanced
Why it's wrong here
30% imbalance is significant and should be addressed.
