  • B.
    Windows System Resource Manager
  • C.
    Processor affinity
  • D.
    I/O affinity
  • Answer & Explanation

Answer : [A]
Explanation :
A. Correct: Resource Governor enables you to allocate session requests to different resources based on the characteristics of the session request properties.
B. Incorrect: WSRM enables you to allocate different resources to different instances but does not enable you to allocate different resources based on session requests.
C. Incorrect: Processor affinity enables you to configure the instance to use specific processors but does not enable you to differentiate resources based on session request properties.
D. Incorrect: I/O affinity enables you to configure disk I/O to occur by using a specific processor but does not allow you to differentiate resources based on session request properties.

Answer : [C]
Explanation :
A. Incorrect: You can deploy a maximum of 50 SQL Server 2012 Database Engine instances on a non-clustered server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
Ten instances is fewer than 50.
B. Incorrect: You can deploy a maximum of 50 SQL Server 2012 Database Engine instances on a non-clustered server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. A 25-instance limit applies to deployment on clustered hosts.
Twenty-five instances in a non-clustered environment is fewer than 50. C. Correct: You can deploy a maximum of 50 SQL Server 2012 Database Engine instances on a non-clustered server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. D. Incorrect: You can deploy a maximum of 50 SQL Server 2012 Database Engine instances on a non-clustered server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
One hundred instances exceeds this value.

You have configured Resource Governor with three resource pools. You have assigned the first resource pool a minimum CPU and memory value of 20%. You have assigned the second resource pool a minimum CPU and memory value of 30%. You want to assign maximum CPU and memory values to the third resource pool. What is the maximum CPU and memory value you can assign to this resource pool?
  • A.
    30%
  • B.
    50%
  • C.
    70%
  • D.
    100%
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
A. Incorrect: The maximum resource value assigned to the third pool is 100%; the sum of the minimum resource values assigned to the other pools is 50%. Thirty percent is less than this value.
B. Correct: The maximum resource value assigned to the third pool is 100%; the sum of the minimum resource values assigned to the other pools is 50%.
C. Incorrect: The maximum resource value assigned to the third pool is 100%; the sum of the minimum resource values assigned to the other pools is 50%. You cannot assign 70% to this pool.
D. Incorrect: The maximum resource value assigned to the third pool is 100%; the sum of the minimum resource values assigned to the other pools is 50%. You cannot assign 100% to this pool.

A server that has four processors has three SQL Server 2012 Database Engine instances installed. Which feature should you configure to assign 60% of a host server’s processor resource to the first instance, 20% to the second instance, and 15% to the third instance?
  • A.
    Resource Governor
  • B.
    Windows System Resource Manager
  • C.
    Processor affinity
  • D.
    I/O affinity
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [B]
Explanation :
A. Incorrect: You can use Resource Governor to assign resources only from within an instance. You cannot use it to assign resources across instances.
B. Correct: You can use WSRM to assign processor resources to different instances.
C. Incorrect: Although you can use processor affinity to assign resources, by using processors it is only possible to assign resources to instances in lots of 25% of the total CPU bandwidth. This does not meet the requirements of the question; hence, you should use WSRM.
D. Incorrect: I/O affinity enables you to assign dedicated processors to disk I/O. You can’t use this for distributing CPU bandwidth across instances.
