How would you identify the memory a virtual machineconsumes when Dynamic Memory is not enabled?

A.
View the amount of RAM listed under Startup in the Memory page of the virtual machine

B.
View the amount of RAM listed under Static in the Memory page of the virtual machine

C.
None of these

D.
View the amount of RAM listed under Maximum in the Memory page of the virtual machine

Explanation:
When dynamic memory is not enabled, the virtual machine is given a static amount of RAM.
This value is located under the Startupsection of the Memory page of the virtual machine settings.

I agree!
To identify the memory consumption of a virtual machine

Open the settings window for the virtual machine. From Hyper-V Manager, right-click the virtual machine and click Settings.

In the left pane, under Hardware, click Memory.

On the Memory page, under Memory Management, review the amount of RAM listed under Static.

Q doesn’t Identify OS.

I like Answer C -> You can get the amount of used memory from inside the VM Taskmager or perfmon …

Why is the answer to this A? Am I missing something?

The question is clearly asking how much memory is consumed NOT allocated yeah?

Also. . . it depends on server version?? Well we are taking a 2012 r2 top up exam here.

Some of the comments on these questions are absolutely useless.

ok fair enough I haven’t passed the exam myself yet but my answer to this would be C – none of these.

Step 2: Identify the memory consumption of a virtual machine

To determine how much memory a virtual machine consumes when Dynamic Memory is not enabled, simply review the amount of memory that is configured for the virtual machine. When the virtual machine is paused or running and Dynamic Memory is not enabled, this amount of physical memory is available exclusively to the virtual machine. This memory is referred to as static memory because the amount stays the same regardless of fluctuations in memory demands. No other virtual machine can use this memory unless this virtual machine is turned off.

A is correct.
