QuestionQ13

Analyze and Optimize VM Performance

An administrator identifies several slow VMs. While investigating the issue, the administrator observes that the slow VMs have high CPU Ready Time.

Which definition of CPU Ready Time is accurate?

  • A The ratio of VM wait time to the total CPU time allotted to the VM in percentage
  • B The ratio of VM idle time to the total CPU time allotted to the VM in percentage
  • C The ratio of VM run time to the total CPU time allotted to the VM in percentage
  • D The ratio of VM swap time to the total CPU time allotted to the VM in percentage
Explanation

CPU Ready Time measures the proportion of CPU time during which a VM was ready to run but had to wait for scheduling on a physical CPU. A high value commonly indicates CPU-resource contention. VMware documents CPU readiness as the percentage of time that a VM was ready but could not be scheduled on a physical CPU.
