CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question
At midday, users report that their line-of-business application running on a Windows Server virtual machine is unusually slow. In the hypervisor you observe that the VM's virtual-disk latency is far above baseline and the shared datastore is 95 % full. Snapshot Manager shows a chain of 12 snapshots, the oldest created six months ago. No other alerts are present. According to recommended troubleshooting practice, which corrective action should you perform first to restore performance while keeping the VM's current state intact?
Expand the VM's system volume inside the guest OS to create additional free space.
Revert the VM to the oldest snapshot and then delete the remaining snapshots.
Create a new snapshot and hot-clone the VM to another datastore before deleting any snapshots.
Use the hypervisor's Consolidate/Delete All command to merge the snapshots into the base virtual disk.
