Assuming ballooning is possible, under which of the following circumstances might the VMkernel
utilize a swap file for a running virtual machine (Choose Three)?
A.
VMware Tools is not installed
B.
50% of the configured memory has already been ballooned
C.
The Mem.CtlMaxPercent value is less than 25%
D.
The virtual machine is starting up
E.
Memory cannot be reclaimed quickly enough
Explanation:
You can specify the location of your swap file, reserve swap space when memory is overcommitted, and delete
a swap file.
ESXi hosts use swapping to forcibly reclaim memory from a virtual machine when the vmmemctl driver is not
available or is not responsive.
n It was never installed.
n It is explicitly disabled.
n It is not running (for example, while the guest operating system is booting).
n It is temporarily unable to reclaim memory quickly enough to satisfy current system demands.
n It is functioning properly, but maximum balloon size is reached.
Standard demand-paging techniques swap pages back in when the virtual machine needs them.
