  ACME Catering Services is using esxtop to troubleshoot a performance problem with one of their ESXi 5.x hosts. Host disconnections from vCenter Server as well as sluggish performance when performing tasks on the host have been observed. Based on the output in the exhibit, how many vCPU's have been assigned to FileServer01?

  A. 1
  B. 2
  C. 4
  D. 8
  D. 8

  Explanation/Reference:

  As we can see at the top we have 14vCPUs, 7VMs. So we have 14 vCPUs to distribute between the 7 VMs. I've broken down my thought process into several steps after looking for hints:

  Hint 1. Fileserver01 has a huge %RDY value (113.49). This means overprovisioning of vCPUs, excessive usage of vSMP or a limit (check %MLMTD) has been set.

  Hint 2. %MLMTD is 0.00. That means that the VM is not throttled. %MLMTD definition: the percentage of time the vCPU was ready to run but deliberately wasn't scheduled because that would violate the "CPU limit" settings. If larger than 0

  the world is being throttled due to the limit on CPU. Hint 3. Check %CSTP. It is 9.28, when the others are zero. %CSTP definition: Excessive usage of vSMP. Decrease amount of vCPUs for this particular VM. This should lead to increased

  scheduling opportunities. Now, seeing how high RDY is we definately get a hint that FileSever01 is overprovisioned. Add a value of 9.28 of %CSTP to the equation and that is definitely the case. In fact, with such a huge %CSTP I would guess

  that it is overprovisioned 8:1, meaning that it probably has a 8vcpus.

  Both scenarios 1 and 2 have a total of 14 vCPUs. However, due to the fact of %CSTP of being 9.28 I'd probably go with scenario 01 and say 8 vCPUs instead of 4vCPUs.

  A. The virtual machine can send at the maximum of 10Mbps.
  B. The virtual machine can send traffic as fast as the underlying virtual switch allows.
  C. Virtual switch autonegotiation settings must to be adjusted to improve performance.
  D. The underlying physical NIC is configured for 10Mbps.

• Question 87:

  A vSphere administrator upgrades a version 5.1.0 vSphere Distributed Switch to version 5.5.0. Another vSphere administrator, unaware of this change, tries to add an ESXi version 5.1.0 host to the switch and fails. What is causing this addition of the ESXi host to fail?

  A. The upgraded switch supports version 5.5 ESXi hosts only.
  B. The upgraded switch must be set up for backwards compatibility.
  C. The switch failed to upgrade properly.
  D. A version 5.5 ESXi host must be added to the switch before the 5.1 host.
  A. The upgraded switch supports version 5.5 ESXi hosts only.

• Question 88:
