VMware 2V0-21.23 Exam - Topic 6 Question 54 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 2V0-21.23 exam

Question #: 54
Topic #: 6

[All 2V0-21.23 Questions]

An administrator has configured Storage I/O Control (SIOC) on a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore.

* The datastore supports 30,000 IOPS

* Storage I/O Control has been set to manual

* Storage I/O Control is triggered when latency hits 30 ms

* The datastore contains 3 virtual machines (VMs)

* A gold tier VM

* A silver tier VM

* A bronze tier VM

Assuming the datastore latency does not exceed 29ms, what is the maximum number of IOPS the bronze tier VM is entitled to?

A30,000

B20,000

C10.000

D5,000

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The bronze tier VM is entitled to 30,000 IOPS, which is the maximum number of IOPS that the datastore supports. Storage I/O Control (SIOC) does not limit the IOPS of any VM unless the datastore latency exceeds the threshold, which is 30 ms in this case. Therefore, as long as the datastore latency is below 29 ms, the bronze tier VM can use up to 30,000 IOPS.

If latency is under 30ms, bronze is limited.

I agree. Silver should be in the middle.

Yeah, 5,000 sounds reasonable. Gold gets the most.

Right, but how much less? Maybe 5,000?

I think it's tricky. The bronze tier should get less.

Not sure about that, seems too low for the bronze tier.

Wait, how does SIOC work if latency is under 30ms?

Should be 5,000 IOPS for the bronze VM, right?

The answer is C) 10,000 IOPS. Anything less would be a bronze disappointment!

10,000 IOPS for the bronze tier VM? That's like giving a bronze medal to an Olympic athlete. They deserve better! :)

I'm going with C) 10,000 IOPS. Seems like a logical answer based on the information provided.

Definitely C) 10,000 IOPS. The question clearly mentions the tiers, and the bronze tier VM should get the least amount of IOPS.

I think the answer is C) 10,000 IOPS. The question states that the datastore supports 30,000 IOPS, and the bronze tier VM should get a portion of that.

The bronze tier VM is entitled to 10,000 IOPS, as the resources are allocated based on the configured tiers.

If the total is 30,000 IOPS and the gold and silver VMs take priority, I feel like the bronze tier might only get 5,000 IOPS, but I'm not completely confident.

I practiced a similar question where the gold tier got the most IOPS. I wonder if that means the bronze tier gets only a fraction of the total?

I think the bronze tier VM gets the least amount of IOPS, but I can't recall the exact calculation for that.

I think I've got it! The bronze tier VM is entitled to the remaining IOPS after the gold and silver VMs are served, which would be 10,000 IOPS. So the answer is C) 10,000.

I'm not sure about this one. The question doesn't give us enough information to determine the exact IOPS for the bronze tier VM.

Okay, let's see. If the datastore supports 30,000 IOPS and SIOC is set to manual, then the bronze tier VM should get the remaining IOPS after the gold and silver VMs are served, right?
