An administrator notices that a Windows virtual machine is using 95% CPU in Task Manager.
Which two actions should be taken to resolve this issue? (Choose two.)
A. Increase the memory reservation of the virtual machine.
B. Increase the CPU Shares on the resource pool where the virtual machine resides.
C. Decrease the CPU reservation of the virtual machine.
D. Increase the CPU limit on the resource pool where the virtual machine resides.
Correct Answer: BD
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Determine whether the high ready time for the virtual machine resulted from its CPU usage time reaching the CPU limit setting. If so, increase the CPU limit on the virtual machine.
Increase the CPU shares to give the virtual machine more opportunities to run. The total ready time on the host might remain at the same level if the host system is constrained by CPU. If the host ready time doesn’t decrease, set the CPU reservations for high-priority virtual machines to guarantee that they receive the required CPU cycles.
