A vSphere administrator needs to add a CPU to a virtual machine, but upon editing the VM settings the option is grayed out.

What would explain this behavior?

  1. The virtual machine is running

  3. CPU Hot-add has not been enabled on the virtual machine
  4. The virtual machine is in a resource pool with no available CPU resources

A number of virtual machines in a vSphere 5.5 DRS cluster are connected to the same virtual switch port group. After several of these VMs are migrated to another host, an administrator notices that they have lost network connectivity. The Events tab in vCenter Server shows this error message:

Failed to initialize ethernet0.

The vmkernel log file on the host running the affected VMs contains this message:

Can't connect device:'port group name': Out of resources.

Which caused this issue?

  1. Network I/O Control was enabled.
  2. The DRS cluster containing the VMs was set to Fully Automated with the Migration Threshold set to Conservative.
  3. There were insufficient uplinks configured on the virtual switches.
  4. The virtual switch port allocation was changed from the default setting.

Answer(s): D
