How shouldyou configure the CPU resource settings for the resource pool?

An ESX Server cluster has 15 servers, each with 4 CPUs at 1000 MHz. The QA
department runs 30 virtual machines (VMs), each with 4 virtual CPUs. A requirement
exists to ensure that no more than 50% of the CPU capacity of the cluster is in use by QA
at any one time. You decide to place the QA VMs in a single resource pool. How should
you configure the CPU resource settings for the resource pool?

A.
deselect unlimited, set limit of 30000 MHz

B.
select expandable reservation

C.
deselect unlimited, set reservation of 4000, deselect expandable reservation

D.
set shares to normal (4000)

Explanation:
1. The total available CPU resources on each host are (4 x 1000) 4000 MHz.
2. The total available CPU resources on the cluster are (15 x 4000) 60000 MHz.
3. By setting a CPU limit of 30000 MHz, (30000 / 60000) 50% of the CPU capacity of
the cluster can be used by QA
