A company has converted several physical machines to virtual machines but are seeing significant
performance issues on the converted machines. The host is configured with sufficient memory and
storage does not appear to be a bottleneck. Which metric can be checked to determine if CPU
contention exists on an ESXi 5.x host?

Which three statements regarding Network I/O Control (NIOC) are accurate? (Choose three.)

Which three requirements must be met in order to use Storage I/O Control? (Choose three.)

What number of IOPS should be used with Storage I/O Control to limit disk throughput to roughly
10 MBps if the guest application writes 64KB blocks?

It appears that a single vCPU virtual machine in a resource pool called Production is having
performance problems because it does not have enough CPU resources available.
Which two methods can be used to improve performance and reduce CPU contention of this
virtual machine while maintaining compatibility with DRS? (Choose two.)

Refer to the Exhibit.

ACME Party Supplies Corporation has a requirement to monitor all virtual machines in a vSphere
5 environment for CPU and Memory usage. An administrator configures an alarm in vCenter
Server to send an alert when any VM exceeds 65% memory utilization and 75% CPU utilization.
The alarm should warn administrators if the virtual machine is within 20% of the defined
thresholds. The alarm has been created with the default options as shown in the exhibit.
Which three modifications must be made to the default settings in the alarm definition to satisfy the
stated requirements? (Choose three.)

An administrator is performing maintenance on a storage array used by an ESXi 5.x host. The

administrator wants to disable alarm actions for the host while the maintenance is taking place.
What procedure will accomplish this task?

An administrator would like to have vCenter take action any time a virtual machine is using over
90% of its available resources for five minutes or longer.
Which three actions can be taken by vCenter Server in response to the trigger without running a
script? (Choose three.)

A group of virtual machines has been deployed using thin disks because of limited storage space
availability. The storage team has expressed concern about extensive use of this type of
provisioning. At which level can the administrator set an alarm to notify the storage team?

An administrator has purchased a new 10GB Converged Network Adapter (CNA) for installation in
a system that is running ESXi 5.x. The administrator has downloaded the latest driver from the
hardware vendor and wants to include the driver in an image. The image profile acceptance level
is set to VMwareSupported. The acceptance level of the driver is VMwareSupported.
Which two statements are true about the inclusion of this driver in the image? (Choose two.)
