A design calls for 10 virtual machines, each with 2 GB of RAM, to be located on a single VMFS
datastore. Only 5 virtual machines will be powered on at one time. If the virtual machines are using
default resource settings, how much space on the datastore will be utilized by swap files?
A.
20 GB
B.
10 GB
C.
No swap files will be created.
D.
None of the above
Explanation:
By default, the swap file is the same size as the available memory of a VM. The swap file
iscreated when you power on a virtual machine and removed when you power it off. With 5 virtual
machinespowered on and with each virtual machine having an available memory setting of 2 GB,
10 GB of space will beused for the swap files.
