You are an Enterprise administrator for contoso.com. The corporate network of the company consists of a single Active Directory domain. All the servers in the domain run Windows Server 2008 and all client computers run Windows Vista.
You install an application on a Windows Server 2008 failover cluster that contains a node named contosoServer1.
Which of the following options would you choose to ensure that 50 percent of the processor utilization and the memory utilization can be reserved for the application execution? (Select Two. Each correct answer will present a part of the answer.)
A.
Implement Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM)
B.
Implement File Server Resource Manager (FSRM)
C.
Implement Storage Manager for SANs (SMfS)
D.
Configure a resource-allocation policy for user-based management.
E.
Configure a resource-allocation policy for process-based management.
F.
Configure quotas.
G.
Configure the LUN Management settings.
Explanation:
To ensure that 50 percent of the processor utilization and the memory utilization can be reserved for the application execution, you need to implement Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) and configure a resource-allocation policy for process-based management.
Microsoft Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) provides resource management and enables the allocation of resources, including processor and memory resources, among multiple applications based on business priorities.
WSRM enables a system administrator to Manage CPU utilization (percent CPU in use), Limit the process working set size (physical resident pages in use) and Set CPU and memory allocation policies on applications. This includes selecting processes to be managed, and setting resource usage targets or limits.
WSRM maintains an updatable exclusion list of processes that shouldn’t be managed because of the negative system impact such management could create. WSRM also applies limits to process working set size and committed memory consumption. WSRM does not manage address windowing extensions (AWE) memory, large page memory, locked memory, or OS pool memory.
