Click the Exhibit button. ACME Catering Services is using esxtop to troubleshoot a performance problem with one of their ESXi 5.x hosts.
Host disconnections from vCenter Server as well as sluggish performance when performing tasks on the host have been observed.
Based on the output in the exhibit, how many vCPU’s have been assigned to FileServer01?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 4
D. 8
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
Open ESXTOP and then expand the GID for a VM. When you do, you will see 4 “common” worlds for the Machine plus 1 world for each CPU. So in this exhibit, FileServer01 has 12 worlds: 4 we know are common, so the other 8 must be for vCPUs.
The 4 common worlds are: vmx, vmast, vmx-vthread, and vmx-mks while the CPUs are each listed as vmx-vcpu-0, -1, -2, etc. All the other VM’s in the exhibit only have 1 vCPU.
