During peak operating hours, an Administrator finds that a business antic al application is not performing as well as during normal hours. Which of the following, memory management methods could be used to guarantee the application performs well at all times?
A.
Set a Reservation equal to te Average Memory utilization of the virtual machine running the application
B.
Set the Share levd to High for the virtual machine running the application and set all other virtual machines to Low
C.
Set a Limit equal to the Peak Memory utilization of the virtual machine running the application
D.
Set a Reservation equal to the configured Memory of the virtual machine running the application

Practices page 8.
Memory Reservations, Limits, and Shares
Memory Reservations are an ESX Server memory management technique used to control
how memory is allocated from an either an explicit or implicit resource pool by the
VMkernel to a virtual machine or group of virtual machines.
Reservations consist of two settings – a reservation, or guaranteed amount of physical
memory that will always be available to the virtual machine(s), and a limit, which is the
absolute maximum physical memory a virtual machine or group of virtual machines can
consume on the host
During peak operating hours, by definition more systems and more resources including
memory, will be being consumed. Therefore memory reservation is required. By setting a
reservation equal to the peak memory utilization, this will guarantee the application
receives all memory it requires.
Could the arugment be made that if you use shares then the highest priority of memory allocation during times of contention would go to the vm in question.
vs a resrevation is preventing the memory from every being used by anyone else.
memory will be reserved after the first use. so if a server has 2 GB reserved but it starts and uses only 1 GB than 1 GB can be used by others. once the server uses 2 GB it is reserved. (No reclaims)
question is asking for guarantee that can only be achieved with reservation.
Correct answer is D
