[All 2V0-21.19 Questions]

Per a customer request, a vSphere administrator increases the number of vCPUs in several VMs within a cluster. After the vCPU increase, the upgraded VMs exhibit slower performance. The vSphere administrator uses esxtop to check ESXi host performance.
Which two counters should be checked to detect CPU overcommitment? (Choose two.)

  • A. %SWPWT
  • B. %USED
  • C. %MLMTD
  • D. %SYS
  • E. %RDY

Agree B and E another link https://www.altaro.com/vmware/vsphere-misconfigurations/ Over-sizing CPU When a VM is assigned many cores, it must wait for all cores that are assigned to it to be available in order to run its CPU Cycle, even if it’s not using all cores. This can cause lag on the VM if other VMs are using the host CPU at the time. A good rule of thumb is, when sizing your VM, if the CPU utilization in the guest is on average below 20% at all times, reduce the number of vCPUs. If the VM is at 100% CPU utilization all the time, up the vCPU count. This will help with minimizing and maximizing your VMs to get the most CPU performance that they can get. Another metric to watch for when provisioning resources is CPU RDY Time. This is the metric vSphere uses to record the length of time that a VM was scheduled to perform a task but couldn’t due to having to wait for CPU. The threshold to look for is usually 10%. Anything higher will usually be experiencing some slowness. How do I find the CPU RDY time? Easy, just like the example above with the NUMA nodes, we will use ESXTOP. So SSH into a host and type in the following:

Fields ID - resource pool or VM ID of the running worlds resource pool or VM or world ID of running world. GID - Resource pool ID of the running worlds resource pool or VM. NAME - err… name. NWLD - Number of members in a running worlds resource pool or VM. %USED - CPU core cycles used. %RUN - CPU scheduled time. %SYS - Time spent in the ESX(i) VMkernel on behalf of the resource pool, VM or world to processor interrupts. %WAIT - Time spent in the blocked or busy wait state. %RDY - Time CPU is ready to run, waiting for something else.

C & E https://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9279 for CPU contention, we will use "%RDY - %MLMTD". So, if "%RDY - %MLMTD" is high, e.g., larger than 20%, you may experience CPU contention.

Agree on C+E: https://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9279 +Q: What does it mean if %USED of a VM is high?+ +A: The VM is using lots of CPU resource. You may expand to worlds to see what worlds are using most of them.+ Note that %MLMTD is included in %RDY. For CPU contention, we will use "%RDY - %MLMTD". +Q: What does it mean if %MLMTD of a VM is high?+ +A: The VM cannot run because of the "CPU limit" setting. If you want to improve the performance of this VM, you may increase its limit. However, keep in mind that it may reduce the performance of others.+

MLMTD would be required to understand if a world is being straved of CPU inspite of free cycles being available. In the question, all they want to find out is if CPU is overcommitted. MLMTD will not come in this picture at all. All we need is %RDY & %USED
