In a configured vSphere 6.x DRS cluster, what can be asserted about a virtual machine powered on in the Test Resource Pool with a 6 GB Memory Reservation?

A virtual machine can be powered on in the Test Resource Pool with a 6 GB Memory Reservation.
A virtual machine can be powered on in the Dev Resource Pool with an 8 GB Memory Reservation.
A virtual machine from both resource pools can be powered on with a 4 GB Memory Reservation.
No more virtual machines can be powered on due to insufficient resources.

The correct answer is: A virtual machine can be powered on in the Test Resource Pool with a 6 GB Memory Reservation.

When considering the scenario of a vSphere 6.x DRS cluster, the correct assertion about the virtual machine powered on in the Test Resource Pool with a 6 GB Memory Reservation is that a virtual machine can indeed be powered on in that resource pool with the specified memory reservation. This is because a memory reservation guarantees that a specified amount of memory will be reserved from the cluster’s total resources for that particular virtual machine. If the Test Resource Pool has sufficient memory available to accommodate the 6 GB reservation, that VM can power on without any issues. This mechanism ensures that even under high load or contention conditions, the allocated memory is always available for the VM, thus offering a level of resource assurance. The other choices involve hypothetical situations regarding the Dev Resource Pool and additional VMs, which may not directly relate to the conditions set for the Test Resource Pool or the total resource availability in the cluster. In this context, one cannot assert the validity of those scenarios unless further details about memory resources in each pool are known, which may vary significantly based on the cluster's total available memory and existing reservations.
