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.

Alright, alright, let's get serious here. VM CPU Ready Time and Host CPU Usage are the two key metrics to focus on. Everything else is just noise.

Hold up, hold up. What if the administrator is just really bored and wants an excuse to add more vCPUs? *winks* Just sayin'.

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*

True, we should also check if the VM is actually using the CPU efficiently and if the host is swapping memory.

Yeah, those are good metrics to start with. Let's see if the CPU is waiting too long or if the host is overloaded.

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?

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.
