2V0-21.23 Question 436
Single answerA VMware administrator is managing an environment with several virtual machines (VMs) running critical workloads. The administrator needs to ensure they are immediately alerted if any of the critical VMs experience high CPU usage for an extended period of time. Which predefined alarm in VMware vCenter can the administrator use to achieve this?
- A
VM CPU Usage
- B
Host CPU Usage
- C
Datastore Usage on Disk
- D
Virtual Machine Consolidation Needed
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The 'VM CPU Usage' predefined alarm in VMware vCenter is specifically designed to monitor the CPU usage of virtual machines. In this scenario, the administrator needs to ensure they are alerted about high CPU usage on critical VMs, making this the appropriate choice. Other alarms, such as 'Host CPU Usage' or 'Datastore Usage on Disk,' are unrelated to monitoring individual VM CPU performance.
- A. Correct.
This is the correct predefined alarm to monitor CPU usage of virtual machines and trigger alerts when the usage exceeds a threshold.
- B. Incorrect.
This alarm monitors the CPU usage of hosts, not individual virtual machines, so it is not relevant to the scenario.
- C. Incorrect.
This alarm monitors datastore disk usage and is unrelated to CPU usage.
- D. Incorrect.
This alarm notifies the administrator when a virtual machine requires disk consolidation, which is unrelated to CPU monitoring.
