VMware 5V0-35.21 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 91:

  How does vRealize Operations Cloud achieve near real-time monitoring with 20-second collection cycles?

  A. Local analytics processing on Cloud Proxies
  B. Multi-layer caching on Remote Collectors
  C. Streaming ingestion from vCenter Server
  D. Autoscaling ingestion nodes in VMware Cloud backend
  A. Local analytics processing on Cloud Proxies

  ---

  vRealize Operations Cloud performs near real-time data ingestion using Cloud Proxies, which execute local analytics preprocessing before forwarding data to the SaaS analytics engine. This reduces latency and allows higher collection frequency than on-premises deployments. Remote Collectors (Option B) cannot achieve 20-second polling. vCenter streaming (Option C) does not provide such intervals. Backend autoscaling (Option D) handles load but not polling intervals.

• Question 92:

  Which step should be used to complete this task on other destination vRealize Operations instances to configure the super metric?

  An administrator has created a new super metric on one of the vRealize Operations instance and would now like to consistently apply it to the other vRealize Operations instances in the environment using a JSON file.

  A. Export the super metric
  B. Import the super metric
  C. Add the super metric
  D. 'Update the super metric
  B. Import the super metric

  ---

  To apply a super metric to other vRealize Operations instances, you need to export the super metric from the source instance and import it to the destination instance. Exporting a super metric creates a JSON file that contains the super metric definition and attributes. Importing a super metric allows you to upload the JSON file and add the super metric to the destination instance. You can also choose to overwrite or skip an existing super metric with the same name. Adding or updating a super metric are not the correct steps, as they are used to create or modify a super metric within the sameinstance.

• Question 93:

  An administrator has constructed a new super metric.

  What does the administrator need to associate it to before enabling it in a policy?

  A. Object
  B. Alert
  C. Metric
  D. Object Type
  D. Object Type

  ---

  A super metric is a custom metric that you can define using existing metrics and mathematical functions.They allow you to create new metrics that are specific to your environment and can help you gain deeper insights into the performance and health of your infrastructure1. Before enabling a super metric in a policy, you need to associate it to an.object type. An object type is a category of objects that share common characteristics, such as hosts, virtual machines, clusters, datastores, etc.By associating a super metric to an object type, you can calculate the super metric for all the objects of that type and display it in the dashboards and reports2. For example, if you create a super metric that calculates the average CPU usage of all the virtual machines in a cluster, you need to associate it to the cluster object type. Then, you can enable the super metric in a policy and apply it to the cluster object or group.This way, you can monitor the average CPU usage of the cluster as a super metric.

• Question 94:

  An administrator is using vRealize Operations to optimize capacity within a vSphere Datacenter. The administrator will use the main categories for reclamation that are shown under the Reclaim view on the Home Screen navigation. Which three main categories are available to the administrator in this view? (Choose three.)

  A. Unused Datastores
  B. Orphaned Disks
  C. Snapshots
  D. Powered Off VMs
  E. VM Disks utilized %10 or less
  F. Unused Hosts
  B. Orphaned Disks
  C. Snapshots
  D. Powered Off VMs

  ---

  The three main categories for reclamation that are available to the administrator in the Reclaim view on the Home Screen navigation are orphaned disks, snapshots, and powered off VMs.The Reclaim view is a feature of vRealize Operations that allows the administrator to identify and reclaim the wasted or unused resources in the environment, such as storage, CPU, and memory1. The Reclaim view shows the potential savings and the actions that can be taken to reclaim the resources for each category.The orphaned disks category shows the virtual disks that are not associated with any virtual machine, and that can be deleted to free up storage space.The snapshots category shows the snapshots that are older than a specified age, and that can be deleted to free up storage space and improve performance.The powered off VMs category shows the virtual machines that are powered off for more than a specified period, and that can be deleted or archived to free up storage, CPU, and memory resources. The unused datastores category (option A) is not a main category for reclamation that is available in the Reclaim view, as it is not a source of wasted or unused resources.The unused datastores are datastores that are not used by any virtual machine or host, and that can be removed from the inventory or assigned to other objects. The VM disks utilized %10 or less category (option E) is not a main category for reclamation that is available in the Reclaim view, as it is not a source of wasted or unused resources.The VM disks utilized %10 or less are virtual disks that have low utilization, and that can be resized to reduce the allocated storage space6. The unused hosts category (option F) is not a main category for reclamation that is available in the Reclaim view, as it is not a source of wasted or unused resources. The unused hosts are hosts that are not used by any virtual machine or cluster, and that can be removed from the inventory or assigned to other objects.

• Question 95:

  An administrator is working on reclamation options in a virtualization environment and has discovered that a Powered-Off VM (SRV-A) is showing as a candidate for reclamation.

  The administrator researched SRV-A and finds out that the server is only used and powered-on the first three days of a month. The administrator needs to prevent this server as a candidate for reclamation.

  Which action, if any, should the administrator take to meet this goal?

  A. Unreqister SRV-A from vCenter when it was powered-off, and reqister before power-on.
  B. Delete SRV-A and virtual disks from vCenter.
  C. No action is needed. It should remain as an SRV-A in vCenter.
  D. Exclude SRV-A from reclamation.
  D. Exclude SRV-A from reclamation.

  ---

  The administrator can use the Reclaim feature in vRealize Operations Manager to identify and reclaim resources from underutilized or powered-off VMs. However, some VMs may have a valid reason to be powered-off or idle for a long period of time, such as SRV-A in this case. To prevent such VMs from being shown as candidates for reclamation, the administrator can exclude them from the Reclaim action.This can be done by selecting the VMs in the Reclaim screen and clicking the Exclude VM(s)

  button1.Alternatively, the administrator can also customize the Reclamation Settings to adjust the criteria for identifying powered-off, idle, snapshot, and orphaned disk VMs.

• Question 96:

  Which three details can be configured when creating a custom view? (Choose three.)

  A. Custom View Tag
  B. Input Transformation
  C. Presentation
  D. Format
  E. Data
  F. Subject
  C. Presentation
  D. Format
  E. Data

  ---

  According to the VMware vRealize Operations Reference Materials, the three details that can be configured when creating a custom view are presentation, format, and data. The presentation option allows the administrator to select the view type, such as list, summary, trend, distribution, or text, and the visualization, such as table, chart, or heatmap. The presentation option also allows the administrator to configure the display settings, such as title, legend, labels, colors, and filters. The format option allows the administrator to select the output format, such as PDF, CSV, or XML, and the orientation, such as portrait or landscape. The format option also allows the administrator to configure the header and footer, such as logo, title, date, and page number. The data option allows the administrator to select the subject, which is the object type that applies to the view, and the data, which are the metrics, properties, or tags that are displayed in the view. The data option also allows the administrator to configure the data settings, such as aggregation, transformation, sorting, and grouping. The other options are incorrect because they are either not available or not relevant when creating a custom view. The custom view tag option is not available in the view configuration, but it can be used to filter the views in theview library. The input transformation option is not available in the view configuration, but it can be used to modify the input data for a widget in a dashboard. The subject option is not a separate detail, but a part of the data option in the view configuration.

• Question 97:

  After an initial deployment of vRealize Operations (vROps) and configuration of the vCenter Cloud Account, an administrator notices that a vSphere Solution's Default Policy was created. What is the origin of the settings in this policy?

  A. The default policy setting has been defined by another administrator.
  B. This policy was added during the installation of the yROps management pack for
  C. All the default policy settings are inherited from the base settings.
  D. Settings of this policy are defined during the vROps OVF deployment.
  C. All the default policy settings are inherited from the base settings.

  ---

  The vSphere Solution's Default Policy is a policy that is automatically created when you add a vCenter Cloud Account to vROps. This policy applies to all the objects that are discovered and collected by the vSphere adapter. The origin of the settings in this policy is the base settings that are provided by the data adapters and solutions installed in vROps. The base settings are a collective group of rules that apply to all objects, regardless of their type or source. The vSphere Solution's Default Policy inherits all the base settings by default, and you can modify them to suit your specific needs. The default policy setting is not defined by another administrator, nor is it added during the installation of the vROps management pack for vSphere. The settings of this policy are also not defined during the vROps OVF deployment, as they are determined by the data adapters and solutions.

• Question 98:

  An administrator wants to get application-related data (metrics) from the virtual machine (VM) that vRealize Operations doesn't collect. The administrator needs to create a custom script to complete the task. All necessary components for agents installation have been deployed to the environment. How should the administrator meet this goal?

  A. Install Telegraf agent, place the appropriate script to the VM. and then call it from Manage Agent location for the VM.
  B. Install End Point Operations Management agent, place the appropriate script to the VM. and then call it from Manage Agent location for the VM.
  C. Install Telegraf agent, place the appropriate script to the vRealize Operation Manager, and then call it from Manage Agent location for the VM.
  D. Install End Point Operations Management agent, place the appropriate script to the vRealize Operation Manager, and then call it from Manage Agent location for the VM.
  B. Install End Point Operations Management agent, place the appropriate script to the VM. and then call it from Manage Agent location for the VM.

  ---

  To get application-related data (metrics) from the VM that vRealize Operations doesn't collect, the administrator can use the custom script feature of the End Point Operations Management agent. The custom script feature allows the administrator to run custom scripts in the end point VM and collect custom data which can then be consumed as a metric. The administrator needs to install the End Point Operations Management agent on the VM, place the appropriate script to the VM, and then configure the

  agent to call the script from the Manage Agent location for the VM in vRealize Operations. The script metrics are created under an object called Custom Script which is a single object per end point VM.The administrator can view the output for the specific metric in the All Metrics tab1.The Telegraf agent is not used for custom script monitoring, but for application monitoring using predefined plugins.The script should not be placed in the vRealize Operation Manager, but in the end point VM.

• Question 99:

  An administrator needs to ensure that specific compliance alerts related to ESXi host configuration are only triggered when all required symptoms are simultaneously met. Which configuration should the administrator adjust?

  A. Policy Grouping
  B. Symptom Wait Cycle
  C. Alert Impact Definition
  D. Recommendation Priority
  B. Symptom Wait Cycle

  ---

  vRealize Operations allows fine-tuning of alert definitions to ensure alerts are only triggered when meaningful operational thresholds are met. The Symptom Wait Cycle defines how many consecutive cycles a symptom must remain active before an alert is generated. Increasing the wait cycle ensures that an alert is triggered only when all contributing symptoms remain consistently violated, reducing noise for configuration-related alerts. This method is VMware-recommended for compliance-type alert refinement. Grouping (Option A) only organizes alerts, not symptom behavior. Impact definitions (Option C) change the severity evaluation but not triggering conditions. Recommendation priority (Option D) does not influence alert firing logic.

• Question 100:

  Which statement accurately describes the characteristics of an alert notification?

  A. Notifications are configured out-of-the-box but need to be explicitly enabled for each object discovered by vRealize Operations.
  B. A SMTP Management pack is required to enable email notifications.
  C. Notifications are configured as part of an alert's symptom definition.
  D. vRealize Operations can be connected to the external alert notification system by configuring an outbound alert plug-in.
  D. vRealize Operations can be connected to the external alert notification system by configuring an outbound alert plug-in.

  ---

  An alert notification is a message that vRealize Operations sends to an external system or user when an alert is generated that meets certain criteria. An alert notification can help the administrator to identify and troubleshoot problems immediately after they occur. To enable alert notifications, the administrator must configure an outbound alert plug-in, which is a component that connects vRealize Operations to the external alert notification system, such as email, REST, SNMP, or log file.The administrator can also create notification rules, which are filters that specify which alerts are sent out for the supported outbound alert plug-ins1.

  The other options are not accurate descriptions of the characteristics of an alert notification.

  Option A is incorrect because notifications are not configured out-of-the-box, but require the administrator to configure the outbound alert plug-in and the notification rules.Notifications also do not need to be explicitly enabled for each object discovered by vRealize Operations, but can be applied to multiple objects based on the notification rules.

  Option B is incorrect because a SMTP Management pack is not required to enable email notifications, but the Standard Email plug-in, which is a built-in outbound alert plug-in that sends notifications to one or more email addresses.

  Option C is incorrect because notifications are not configured as part of an alert's symptom definition, but as a separate configuration that applies to one or more alerts. A symptom definition is a condition that indicates a potential problem with an object, and is used to trigger an alert, not a notification.
