Nutanix Exam NCP-MCI-6.10 Topic 4 Question 3 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-MCI-6.10 exam
Question #: 3
Topic #: 4
[All NCP-MCI-6.10 Questions]

An administrator notices high CPU usage on a VM and wants to determine whether adding more vCPUs would improve performance.

Which two metrics should be analyzed to make this decision? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B

When diagnosing CPU performance issues, CPU Ready Time and CPU Usage are the key indicators of whether more vCPUs are needed.

Option A (VM CPU Ready Time) is correct:

High CPU Ready Time means the VM is waiting for CPU resources, indicating CPU contention.

Option B (VM CPU Usage) is correct:

If CPU usage is consistently high, adding more vCPUs may improve performance.

Option C (Host CPU Usage) is incorrect:

Host-wide CPU usage does not indicate whether a specific VM needs more vCPUs.

Option D (Host Memory Swap Out Rate) is incorrect:

Memory swapping affects RAM performance, not CPU allocation.

I dunno, man. Shouldn't we also look at the host memory usage? Maybe the poor VM is just starving for resources, ya know? *scratches head*

Yes, analyzing both VM CPU Ready Time and Host CPU Usage would give us a comprehensive view.

B and C, hands down. Can't ignore the actual CPU usage on both the VM and the host. That's the core of the problem, right?

I also think we should look at Host CPU Usage to get a better understanding.

VM CPU Ready Time and Host CPU Usage for sure! Gotta analyze those metrics to see if adding more vCPUs will really help. Anything else is just a distraction.
