An administrator needs to use performance information from Windows virtual machines to better understand their effect on the vSphere 5.x hosts on which they run.
What must the administrator do to collect this information?
A. Install VMware Tools with the PERFMON counters enabled in the Advanced option of the installer.
B. Install VMware Tools. Add counters in the PERFMON utility.
C. Install VMware Tools. Edit the VMware Tools settings to enable the VM-specific counters.
D. Install VMware Tools. Install the PERFMON plug-in for VMware Tools.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
B: VMware Tools is a suite of utilities that enhances the performance of a virtual machine. Although a guest operating system can run without VMware Tools, many VMware features are not available until you install VMware Tools.
To collect the information required you should send/configure/add performance counters into PerfMon because you can integrate virtual machine performance counters for CPU and memory into PerfMon for Microsoft Windows guest operating systems. This feature makes detailed information about the physical host available to the guest operating system. By default this feature is disabled.
Incorrect Answers:
A: PerfMon counters should be added for the appropriate performance information and not enabled as suggested in this option.
C: You need to make use of the PerfMon utility in VMWare Tools to gather the appropriate performance information.
D: PerfMon is a utility that will allow you to gather the appropriate performance information, but you need to add the appropriate counters to enable the gathering of the appropriate information.
