*The datastore supports 30,000 IOPS
*Storage I/O Control has been set to manual
*Storage I/O Control is triggered when latency hits 30 ms
*The datastore contains 3 virtual machines (VMs)
*A gold tier VM
*A silver tier VM
*A bronze tier VM
Assuming the datastore latency does not exceed 29ms, what is the maximum number of IOPS the bronze tier VM is entitled to?

• A. 10.000
• B. 5,000
• C. 20,000
• D. 30,000

Answer: D

Explanation:
Explanation
The bronze tier VM is entitled to 30,000 IOPS, which is the maximum number of IOPS that the datastore supports. Storage I/O Control (SIOC) does not limit the IOPS of any VM unless the datastore latency exceeds the threshold, which is 30 ms in this case.
