VMware 5V0-21.21 Exam - Topic 2 Question 81 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 5V0-21.21 exam

Question #: 81
Topic #: 2

An administrator wants to check the performance metrics for the workloads and their virtual disks that are running on a vSAN cluster, but no statistical charts are displayed in the vSphere client.

Why is this behavior being seen?

AvSAN network diagnostic mode is not enabled.

BvSAN proactive tests haven't been run yet.

CvSAN performance service is turned off.

DvSAN performance verbose mode is not enabled.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

: Some tools allow for measuring latency peaks. This unfortunately isn't ideal, as it can unfairly represent statistical outliers, which may very well occur when there is little to no I/O activity. The best way to understand the actual behavior of VM and application latencies is to observe in time based performance graphs. Depending on the level of detail, you may need to measure at the individual VMDK level. Become familiar with these graphs to determine what is normal, and what is not for that given application. This is where you can use built-in functionality of vCenter and the vSAN performance service metrics to gather this information.

Definitely A, network diagnostic mode is often overlooked.

Nah, I doubt it's D, verbose mode isn't usually the issue.

Pretty sure it's option C, performance service needs to be on.

I thought network diagnostic mode was important, but I can't recall if it affects the performance metrics display. Could it be A?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like enabling verbose mode could help with performance details. Is that option D?

I think I saw a question like this in our practice exam. It might be related to proactive tests not being run, so maybe option B?

I remember something about the performance service needing to be enabled for metrics to show up. Could it be option C?

I've got a good feeling about this one. Based on my experience with vSAN, I think the issue is likely related to the performance service or diagnostic mode. I'll carefully evaluate each option to determine the correct answer.

Okay, let's see. The key here is to identify the specific setting or service that controls the performance metrics display. I'll need to think through the vSAN configuration options to determine the most likely cause.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking about why the performance charts aren't showing up, so I'll need to consider the different settings and configurations that could be causing that.

This seems like a straightforward question about vSAN performance metrics. I'll need to carefully review the options and think through the potential causes.

Well, if the vSAN performance service is turned off, how else are they going to measure how fast their virtual disks are spinning? Time to bust out the good old-fashioned stopwatch!

A) vSAN network diagnostic mode is not enabled? Guess the admin's network is still playing hide and seek with the performance data.
