A recently deployed set of test virtual machines are impacting the performance of a company development team project datastore.
The shared cache server appears to be suffering from storage congestion.
Storage I/O Control is already enabled on all company datastores.
Which two steps should the administrator take to improve the performance of the cache server? (Choose two.)

The given scenario describes a situation where a set of test virtual machines are affecting the performance of a company development team project datastore. The shared cache server is also suffering from storage congestion, which can further degrade the performance of the virtual machines. In this situation, the administrator needs to take some steps to improve the performance of the cache server while ensuring that the performance of the virtual machines is not affected.
To improve the performance of the cache server while ensuring that the virtual machines continue to function normally, the administrator should take the following two steps:
Configure Storage I/O Control (SIOC): Storage I/O Control is a feature that allows the administrator to manage and allocate storage resources to different virtual machines based on their I/O demands. By enabling SIOC on all datastores, the administrator can ensure that the virtual machines do not consume all the storage resources and impact the performance of the cache server. SIOC can monitor the storage resource usage and allocate resources based on priority and demand, thereby ensuring that the virtual machines and the cache server get their fair share of storage resources.
Configure storage limits per virtual machine: By configuring storage limits per virtual machine, the administrator can ensure that no single virtual machine consumes all the storage resources and affects the performance of the cache server. The storage limits can be configured on a per-virtual-machine basis, allowing the administrator to allocate storage resources based on the needs of the virtual machines. This ensures that each virtual machine gets a fair share of storage resources and the cache server's performance is not affected.
Therefore, the correct answers to this question are: D. Configure storage shares per virtual machine. E. Configure storage limits per virtual machine.
