You have 50 virtual machines that have been running within a 5-node ESXi DRS cluster for a number of weeks. Several VM's running on one of the host suddenly show a Blue Screen of Death.
What is the cause of the failure?

You have a Windows 2003 Server virtual machine running within a vSphere environment that is experiencing performance problems.
Task Manager displays the following information:
1. CPU Usage: 85%
2. Memory Available: 3 GB
3. Network Utilization: 25%

A vSphere implementation contains two ESXi hosts, ESXi01 and ESXi02. A virtual machine VM21a on ESXi01 is connected to a vSphere Standard Switch (vSS) in a port group called Production. The vSS is connected to an uplink on the 10.1.20.0/24 network. ESXi02 is configured with  a vSS connected to an uplink on the 10.1.30.o/24 network. A port group called Engineering exists on this switch.
Which two statements are true about this configuration.

A company has been utilizing templates in its environment. It is running a 10-node ESXi Cluster and DRS has not been configured. Several virtual machines have been deployed from this template and successfull powered on, but a newly deployed virtual machine will not power on. There appears to be adequate CPU and Memory resources available on the host.
Which three things can be done to allow more virtual machines to be deployed into the cluster from this template.
