Windows VM is experiencing the poor application performance. The suspected issue is a lack of available memory. Windows Task Manager shows 30% of the memory within the VM is not currently being used. What this indicate and what could be checked next?
A. Windows Task Manager is not reading actual memory usage in the VM. Windows System Monitor should be used to get precise reading on memory usage.
B. The application problems are defintely due to a non-memory related problem. CPU affinity settings should be checked for this VM.
C. The VM has memory available, however it may not actually have "Physical" memory available. VMkernel swap activity on the ESX Server host should be checked next.
D. The application problems are definitely due to a non-memory related problem. CPU utilization should be checked next using Windows Task Manager.
