Exam 1Y0-403 topic 1 question 17 discussion

12 physical cores (are they? the question doesnt state if HT is on or off exactly) but the answer is C. 120. 12cores with HT OFF: 4 sockets, so 4X12core CPU's Apply the rule of 5 VMs per physical core when the size is 2vCPU/4GB and you would get: 4x12x5=240 (answer B) However, we only have 512GB in server 240x4=960 (Answer B is wrong) 512GB/4GB= 128VMs: ANSWER C. 120 is correct And now 12cores with HT ON, so we only 6 physical cores. 4 sockets, so 4x6core CPU's Apply the rule of 5 VMs per physical core when the size is 2vCPU/4GB and you would get: 4x6x5=120 120x4=480GB RAM ANSWER C. 120

Total number of cores is 4x12x5=240 Based on example 1 and the note to ignore memory the answer I think is B https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/tech-zone/design/design-decisions/single-server-scalability.html#scalability-factors

answer C Note it says "hyper threading", so devide 12/2 =6 physical cores now apply citrix recommended formula according to the article: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/tech-zone/design/design-decisions/single-server-scalability.html#the-magic-multipliers 4 sockets * 6 physical cores * 5 CVD = 120 CVDs if you want to calculate for apps (not part of this questions): 4 sockets * 6 physical cores * 10 CVA = 240 CVA

C. 120

I believe this question is about cpu and not memory. It is very well possible to run 150 desktop VM's with 4GB of RAM on a host with only 512GB of RAM in it. We do is also in our environment. It is not possible when you have (NVIDIA) GPU integration. But in thsi scenario it is very well possible. Because it states 4 sockets, 12 cores with hyperthreading, I believe they mean 4 physical CPU's (and all CPU's have hyperthreading these days) so when they say 12 cores with hyperthreading, they mean 12 cores with hyperthreading "on". So the 4 physical CPU's have 6 cores is 4x6x5=120 VM's. Answer C is then the correct answer.

this question is meant to trick us. Think no CPU calc is needed. Only RAM! And that is easy 512 : 4 = 128 ...so C is correct!

C is right 512/4= 120

512GB/4GB= 128VMs: ANSWER C. 120 is correct

There are some assumptions being made here, but I think it's safe to assume they mean there are 12 cores PER SOCKET so gh1 is correct. The math is 4x12x5=240. B is the correct answer. Nothing else factors in. Total cores on the box X 5 for VDI. Total cores on the box X 10 for RDSH. That's it.

12 physical cores + magic multipliers: 5x12=60 so D is correct.
