GAQM CCCP-001 Exam - Topic 9 Question 114 Discussion

Actual exam question for GAQM's CCCP-001 exam

Question #: 114
Topic #: 9

An administrator has three VMs and each has been allocated two virtual CPUs. VM1 and VM2 have CPU shares set to normal priority. VM3 has CPU shares set to high priority. All three VMs are running CPU intensive workloads and begin to contend for CPU resources. If VM1 and VM2 are effectively given 1600 MHz each, which when combined represents 50% of the available processing power, VM3 will be given:

A1600 MHz.

B1800 MHz.

C2400 MHz.

D3200 MHz.

C) 2400 MHz. Hmm, I wonder if the question is trying to trick us. Better double-check the math on this one.

D) 3200 MHz. Of course! VM3 is the boss, it should get it all. Who needs the other VMs anyway?

C) 2400 MHz. Yep, that's the one. High priority means VM3 gets the other half of the processing power.

B) 1800 MHz. Wait, what? Isn't high priority supposed to give you more resources? This can't be right.

D) 3200 MHz. That's the only answer that makes sense to me. VM3 should get the full remaining processing power.

I’m a bit confused about how the percentages work here. If VM1 and VM2 are getting 50%, does that mean VM3 gets the rest? I need to think this through more.

This question feels similar to one we practiced where priority levels determined resource distribution. I think VM3 might get 2400 MHz, but I’m not entirely confident.

I think VM3 gets more than 1600 MHz because of its high priority, but I can't recall the exact calculation for that.

I remember something about CPU shares affecting how resources are allocated, but I'm not sure how that translates to MHz in this scenario.

Hmm, I think I've got it. Since VM1 and VM2 are getting 50% of the total, and VM3 has high priority, it must be getting the remaining 50%, which is 2400 MHz. The answer is C.

This question is testing our understanding of CPU resource management in a virtualized environment. I'll need to carefully consider the priorities and percentages to determine the correct answer.

I'm a bit confused on how the CPU shares work here. If VM1 and VM2 are normal priority and VM3 is high priority, how does that affect the actual CPU allocation? I'll need to review the CPU scheduling concepts again.

I agree! High priority means it should get more resources.

C) 2400 MHz. Seems about right, since VM3 has high priority and should get the remaining 50% of the processing power.

Okay, let me see if I understand this correctly. If VM1 and VM2 are getting 1600 MHz each, that's 50% of the total. So the remaining 50% must go to VM3 since it has high priority. I think the answer is C) 2400 MHz.
