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
✓
vSphere vMotion
DRS balances load, SIOC manages storage I/O, and vMotion enables migration for scaling and maintenance. HA provides availability, FT provides fault tolerance, and Backup does not scale performance.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
vSphere vMotion
Why this is correct
vMotion allows live migration for load balancing and maintenance, aiding scaling.
- ✓
Storage I/O Control (SIOC)
Why this is correct
SIOC enforces I/O shares and throttles to improve storage performance.
- ✓
vSphere DRS
Why this is correct
DRS automatically balances VMs across hosts for optimal performance.
- ✗
vSphere Fault Tolerance
Why it's wrong here
FT provides continuous availability but does not directly improve performance or scaling.
- ✗
vSphere HA
Why it's wrong here
HA provides high availability, not performance scaling.
