A cluster node fails, and surviving nodes lack enough startup RAM for all VMs. The team proposes relying on Smart Paging for failover. What is the correct assessment?

Choose the single best answer.

A.Smart Paging guarantees every VM's startup allocation during cluster failover
B.Reserve physical capacity because Smart Paging does not solve insufficient failover RAM
C.Higher memory priority reserves every configured maximum before failover
D.Additional Smart Paging disk capacity replaces all failover RAM requirements

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

Reserve physical capacity because Smart Paging does not solve insufficient failover RAM

Smart Paging is a constrained restart mechanism and does not substitute for failover capacity. It does not guarantee failover startup RAM, more paging-file space does not remove that physical requirement, and priority expresses relative preference rather than reserving every maximum.
