An administrator is attempting to power on a virtual machine with 32GB of memory. The operation fails with the following error:

Could not power on VM: No space left on device

Checking the space on the virtual machines datastore, there is 30GB

free.

Which action would allow the VM to power on?

A.

Set a 2GB memory reservation on the VM.

B.

Mount the virtual disk from the affected VM on to another virtual machine and free up space from within the OS.

C.

Enable vSphere HD admission control on the

cluster in which the VM resides.

D.

Set a 2GB memory limit on the VM.

Explanation:

The swap file size can be calculated with the formula (.vswp File = Allocated Memory – Memory Reservation).

As per default, the reservation is set to 0, so the

.vswp file size is equal to the amount of virtual memory.
