CompTIA Exam SK0-005 Topic 1 Question 46 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's SK0-005 exam
Question #: 46
Topic #: 1
[All SK0-005 Questions]

A server administrator is reviewing the following specifications:

VM01 Host:

CPU: 2 Physical, 4 Cores

RAM: 16GB

Storage: 16TB

Server 1 on VM01:

CPU: 1 virtual socket, 1 core per socket

RAM: 4GB

Storage: 8TB

Server 2 on VM01:

CPU: 2 virtual sockets, 2 cores per socket

RAM: 8GB

Storage: 10TB

Which of the following is described given these specifications?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Overprovisioning is a situation where the allocated resources for a virtual machine exceed the available resources of the physical host. In this case, the storage allocated for Server 1 and Server 2 on VM01 is 8TB and 10TB respectively, which adds up to 18TB. However, the storage available on the VM01 host is only 16TB, which means there is a 2TB deficit. This can cause performance issues and errors for the virtual machines.

Overprovisioning is definitely the correct answer. It's like having a giant closet for your two-bedroom apartment - you know, just in case you need to store a small country in there one day.

You guys are spot on. This question is testing our knowledge of virtualization concepts, and overprovisioning is the key here. I'm glad they're not asking about something like virtual switches or scalability, which can be a bit more complex.

I agree with Ling. The question is clearly asking about the relationship between the host server and the virtual servers, and overprovisioning is the correct answer. It's a common practice in virtualization to allocate more resources to the host than the sum of the virtual servers, to allow for flexibility and scalability.

Hmm, this question is testing our understanding of virtualization concepts. I think the answer is C) Overprovisioning. The host server has more resources (CPU, RAM, and storage) than the combined resources of the two virtual servers running on it, which indicates overprovisioning.
