Which of the following statements about DPM and DRS is accurate?

Dynamic Power Management (DPM) and Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) are components in a virtualized environment that work together to optimize resource allocation and energy efficiency.

The statement that DPM requires the support of DRS to be effective is accurate because DPM relies on the resource management capabilities provided by DRS to function correctly. DRS is responsible for balancing workloads across hosts by dynamically allocating and migrating virtual machines based on their resource needs. For DPM to effectively reduce power consumption, it needs DRS to identify periods of low workload where hosts can be powered down or placed into a low power state without affecting performance.

When the DRS coordinates the placement and migration of virtual machines, DPM can respond by adjusting the power state of hosts as needed, ensuring that energy is saved during low demand periods while maintaining performance and availability. Without DRS, DPM would lack the necessary insight into virtual machine workloads to make well-informed decisions about power management, thereby diminishing its effectiveness.
