A company has virtual machine (VMs) running in a 16-node Hyper-v cluster. They are using
Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008 R2 to migrate all of their
existing VMware VMs to Hyper-V.
You need to configure VMM to ensure that it places VMs on each host until each host is fully
utilized. What should you do?
A.
Configure placement settings for resource maximization.
B.
Prioritize resources for memory free.
C.
Prioritize resources for disk I/O.
D.
Prioritize resources for network utilization.
E.
Configure placement settings for load balancing.

You can alter how the Intelligent Placement algorithm works on your VMM server. There are
two basic models:
Resource Maximisation: This is the model you take when you want VMM to make the very
most out of each and every host. VMM will try to place as many VM’s on a single host as is
reasonable.
Load Balancing: The goal here is to get the very best performance from your VM’s that you
can.
VMM will locate VM’s in an effort to balance the resource utilisation across all hosts.
