A customer is virtualizing a mission-critical Microsoft SQL database and needs a configuration that provides optimal NUMA performance.

• There are two possible clusters that the database virtual machine could reside in Cluster A is vSphere 6.0 and Cluster B is vSphere 6.5.
• All ESXi hosts contain dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 processors (ie:2 socket, 10 cores per socket) and 256Gb RAM with vNUMA in its default configuration.

Given this scenario, which three statements are true? (Choose three.)

A. Enabling CPU Hot Add on a virtual machine will disable vNUMA.
B. Placing a 10 vCPU VM in Cluster A and configuring it with 2 Sockets and 5 Cores Per Socket will result in 2 vNUMA nodes.
C. Placing a 10 vCPU VM in Cluster B and configuring it with 2 Sockets and 5 Cores Per Socket will result in 2 vNUMA nodes.
D. Enabling Memory Hot Add on a virtual machine will disable vNUMA.
E. Placing the VM in Cluster B and configuring it with 5 Sockets and 2 Cores Per Socket will result in 1 vNUMA node.

Correct Answer: C – D – E
