VCP-DCV vSphere Performance and Scaling Practice Question

Exhibit

Description of performance chart for VM 'SQLServer':
- CPU Usage: Average 70%, Max 85%
- Memory Usage: Average 60%, Max 75%
- Disk Read Latency: Average 60ms, Max 120ms
- Disk Write Latency: Average 30ms, Max 80ms
- Network Throughput: Average 100 Mbps

Refer to the exhibit. Based on the performance chart, which component is likely causing the VM to experience a bottleneck?

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

✓

Disk

Disk read latency is very high (average 60ms, max 120ms), indicating a storage bottleneck. CPU and memory usage are moderate, and network throughput is average. Option D is correct.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

✗
CPU
Why it's wrong here
CPU usage at 70% average is acceptable and not a bottleneck.
✗
Memory
Why it's wrong here
Memory usage at 60% average is not indicative of a bottleneck.
✗
Network
Why it's wrong here
Network throughput of 100 Mbps is not specifically high or low without context, but latency is normal.
✓
Disk
Why this is correct
High disk read latency (60ms avg) indicates a storage performance issue.
