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 10% of the defined thresholds. The alarm has been created with the default options shown in exhibit.

A.
Set the VM CPU Usage (%) Alert trigger to 75% and the VM Memory usage (%) Warning trigger to 65%

B.
Set the VM CPU Usage (%) Alert trigger to 75% and the VM Memory Usage (%) Alert trigger to 65%

C.
Set the VM CPU Usage (%) Warning trigger to 65% and the VM Memory usage (%) Warning trigger to 55%

D.
Set the Trigger if all of the conditions are satisfied radio button.

E.
Set the Trigger if any of the conditions are satisfied radio button.

Explanation:
Corrected one of the thresholds to 55% as it seemed logical. I’m still not sure if the question is asking to be warned if either any or all of the threshols must be hit before triggering the warning. I decided to go with all as the question says “is within 10% of the defined thresholds” < Note plural potentially meaning both. Also it means having to change the setting currently in the exibit.

    B C E – Q asks to warn if within 10% of defined threshold. You would never be warned if you selected D and only one condition (e.g. either Mem or CPU) was within threshold – you would be waiting for the other to go above threshold also until you were issued the warning/alert

  2. Chuck Luttor says:

    Since the question says “when any VM exceeds 65% memory utilization and 75% CPU utilization”, therefore both thresholds must be met which makes the correct answer B, C and D. The “and” between “65 % memory utilization” and “75% CPU utilization” is crystal clear.
