Explanation:

The vSphere is a term used to describe the VMware’s virtualization cloud platform. The vSphere comprises of the following, vCenter Server, ESXi, Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) and vCenter Client.

If a vSphere Administrator receive complaints that a database Virtual Machine (VM) is experiencing performance issues and the Virtual Machine (VM) is a member of the high priority resource pool and the cluster has not experienced contention.

In order to address immediate performance concerns, the vSphere Administrator should check the Resource Pool share value.

VMware resource pool refers to the aggregated central processing unit and memory allocated to a Virtual Machine (VM) for flexible management of the resources.

Also, the vSphere Administrator should install VMware tools to check which processes are having high CPU usage by using vimtop, as well as checking if vCenter Server is swapping.
