Which three things can be done to allow more virtual machines to be deployed into the cluster from this template?

ACME Junkmail Incorporated has been utilizing templates in their environment. They are running
a 10-node ESXi 5.x Cluster and DRS has not been configured. Several virtual machines have
been deployed from this template and successfully powered on, but a newly deployed virtual
machine will not power on. There appear to be adequate CPU and Memory resources available on
the host.

Which three things can be done to allow more virtual machines to be deployed into the cluster
from this template? (Choose three.)

A.
Select a different datastore for the virtual machine

B.
Move the swap file to a different location

C.
Deploy the virtual machine to a different host using the same datastore

D.
Enable DRS on the cluster to balance the virtual machine load out across hosts

E.
Increase the virtual machine memory reservation

Explanation:
If you make reservations for your virtual machine’s that are equal to the amount of RAM assigned
to them, swapping and page sharing does not occur. You can over commit pretty heavily if you are
comfortable with poorer performance. If you do not set reservations, ESX host creates a .vswp file
equal to the difference between the amount of physical memory assigned to the virtual machine
and the reservation it has. By default, memory reservations are set to 0. If you have a virtual
machine with 2GB of memory without a reservation, it creates a 2GB .vswpfile when it is powered

on. The virtual machine starts using the .vswp file if the server is out of physical RAM. If you set a
1GB reservation, it creates a 1GB .vswp file. The .vswp files are what allows for memory
overcommitment.
