Microsoft Exam Questions

Which performance object should you monitor on Server1?

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a member server
named Server1. Server1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2 and has the Hyper-V server role installed.
Server1 hosts 10 virtual machines. A virtual machine named VM1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2 and hosts a
processor-intensive application named App1.
Users report that App1 responds more slowly than expected.
You need to monitor the processor usage on VM1 to identify whether changes must be made to the hardware
settings of VM1.
Which performance object should you monitor on Server1?

A.
Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical Processor

B.
Hyper-V Hypervisor Root Virtual Processor

C.
Processor

D.
Hyper-V Hypervisor Virtual Processor

E.
Process

Explanation:
Processor – Traditionally, processor performance can be measured using the “\Processor(*)\% Processor Time”
performance monitor counter. This is not an accurate counter for evaluating processor utilization of aguest
operating system though because Hyper-V B. Shows the percentage of time used by the virtual processor in
guest code. This is used to determine the processorutilization of the virtualization stack on the host server. C.
Identifies how much of the physical processor is being used to run the virtual machines. This counter does not
identify the individual virtual machines or the amount consumed by each virtual machine.
Process – This counter is a natural choice that will give use the amount of time that this particular process
spends using the processor resource.
Virtual Processor – Identifies how much of the virtual processor is being consumed by a virtual machine.
