Which two statements are true about the share value for a virtual machine after it has been added to a resource pool? (Choose two.)
A.
If a previously defined custom share value exists, the existing %Shares value is retained.
B.
If a previously defined custom share value exists, the %Shares value is adjusted relative to the total number of shares in the resource pool.
C.
If a previously defined share level (high, medium, low) exists, the %Shares value is maintained.
D.
If a previously defined share level (high, medium, low) exists, the %Shares value is adjusted to reflect the total number of shares in use in the resource pool.
Answer is A and D not B and D
see p48 vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-501-resource-management-guide.pdf
If the virtual machine has custom shares assigned, the share value is maintained.
Correct, it should be A and D. Custom shares are maintained.
B and D are correct.
“If the virtual machine has custom shares assigned, the share value is maintained.”
Share value is maintained but share% will be re-calculated based on the new total.
B and D are correct.
%shares is recalculated. Test it yourself and you’ll see. I did.
The official statement said
– If the virtual machine’s shares are high, medium, or low, %Shares adjusts to reflect the total number of shares in use in the new resource pool.

I agreed that the %share values will always adjusted. The actual shares for the added VM will change with High, Medium, Low, but do not changed with custom level. Tricky Question!
Therefore, B and D are correct.
poorly worded question
“B and D are correct.
The correct answer should be B & D not A & D. According to the explanation, if a virtual machine has custom shares assigned, the “share value” is maintained, not the “% share value”.
The “%share value” will always change as virtual machines are added/removed from a resource pool. If it has a custom share value, lets say “1500 shares”, when it is moved to another resource pool it will still have “1500″ shares but its “% of shares” of the total resource pool will vary depending on the relative number of shares it has in relation to other virtual machines in the resource pool.
“
Answer is A and D.
Like Ed said, its a tricky question but the ‘key’ thing to note is that ‘CUSTOM’ is being overlooked by some of the above posters.
Page 48: If the virtual machine has custom shares assigned, the share value is maintained. In addition read the note section directly below it.
Answer B is just rewording of what it states on page 48 (bullet # 2). It adds ‘CUSTOM’ to the statement which then in turn makes it incorrect.
Vcp510 is correct
