You have a Windows 2003 Server virtual machine (VM) that is experiencing performance problems.
Task Manager displays the following information:
* CPU Usage: 85%
* Memory Available: 3 GB
* Network Utilization: 25%
vCenter Server displays this additional information:
* ESXi host CPU Utilization: 60%
* VMkernel Swap Activity: None
* Average Network Usage: 900 Mbps
What is the most likely cause for the performance problems?
A.
The VM is CPU constrained.
B.
The ESXi host is CPU constrained.
C.
The ESXi host NIC is being over utilized.
D.
The ESXi host needs more memory installed.
Can someone please explain why is the constraints is in the nic?
I think they are assuming 1Gb nic which if the host is 900 Mbps out of 1Gbps nic. That’s pretty damn utilized especially accounting for TCP/IP overhead.
