VMware 5V0-35.21 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 101:

  Where must an automated action be enabled before it can be initiated by a triggered alarm?

  A. Object's associated policy
  B. Object's associated recommendation
  C. Object in the default policy
  D. Object's associated symptom definition
  A. Object's associated policy

  ---

  To automate an action for an alert, you must enable it in the object's associated policy. A policy defines the settings and rules that vRealize Operations applies to objects in your environment. You can activate actionable alerts in your policies by selecting the Automate option for the alert definition that is associated with the symptom, recommendation, and action that you want to automate. When an alert is triggered that is associated with the recommendation, it triggers the action without any user intervention.

  The other options are not correct because they do not enable the automation of the action. An object's associated recommendation is a suggestion for resolving the problem indicated by the alert, but it does not activate the action. An object in the default policy is not specific enough to enable the automation of the action. An object's associated symptom definition is a condition that indicates a potential problem, but it does not activate the action.

• Question 102:

  Which two pricing card types are available in vRealize Operations? (Choose two.)

  A. Cost-based
  B. Static-based C. Rate-based
  C. Allocation-based
  D. Demand-based
  A. Cost-based
  C. Allocation-based

  ---

  vRealize Operations provides two types of pricing cards, cost-based and rate-based, to calculate the price associated with your virtual infrastructure. You can assign pricing cards to vCenters or Clusters, depending on the pricing strategy determined by vRealize Operations administrator. The pricing cards help you to set the price for each resource present in your virtual environment. You can customize the pricing card as per your requirement. Cost-based pricing card: A cost-based pricing card calculates the price based on the cost of the resources defined in vRealize Operations. You can specify a multiplication factor for each resource type, such as CPU, memory, storage, etc., to adjust the price according to your business needs. The price equation using cost is: x = Price Rate-based pricing card: A rate-based pricing card calculates the price based on the rate of the resources defined by you. You can specify a rate for each resource type, such as CPU, memory, storage, etc., in terms of units, such as MHz, GB, etc. You can also specify the charging period and the power state for each resource type.The price equation using rate is: x = Price

• Question 103:

  Which three types of data are considered as potential evidence in the Troubleshooting Workbench? (Choose three.)

  A. Symptoms
  B. Alerts
  C. Events
  D. Property Changes
  E. Anomalous Metrics
  F. Logs
  B. Alerts
  C. Events
  D. Property Changes

  ---

  The Troubleshooting Workbench is a feature in vRealize Operations that helps you perform advanced troubleshooting tasks on an alert or an object. You can look for potential evidences of a problem within a specific scope and time range. The potential evidences are based on three types of data: Alerts, Events, and Property Changes. Alerts show the active and inactive alerts that are related to the object or its peers. Events show the events that are based on a change in the metrics, such as spikes, drops,

  or anomalies. Property Changes show the changes in the configuration or properties of the object or its peers, such as CPU, memory, or disk allocation. These types of data help you identify the root cause of the issue and take corrective actions. Symptoms and Anomalous Metrics are not considered as potential evidence in the Troubleshooting Workbench, although they may be used to trigger alerts or events. Logs are not displayed in the Troubleshooting Workbench, but they can be accessed from the

  Logs tab of the object.

• Question 104:

  When should the advanced sizing guide be used instead of the basic sizing guide in the vRealize Operations Manager (vROps) online Sizing tool?

  A. When yROgs High Availability or Continuous Availability features are going to be enabled
  B. When the monitored environment will have more than 16 vSphere clusters
  C. When additional management packs are going to be implemented
  D. When the yROgs analytics nodes will be distributed across more than one physical data center
  C. When additional management packs are going to be implemented

  ---

  The advanced sizing guide should be used instead of the basic sizing guide in the vRealize Operations Manager (vROps) online Sizing tool when additional management packs are going to be implemented. The basic sizing guide provides the default sizing recommendations based on the number of objects and metrics collected from the vSphere environment. However, if the monitored environment includes other types of objects and metrics from different sources, such as management packs, the basic sizing guide may not be accurate.The advanced sizing guide allows the user to specify the number of objects and metrics for each management pack and get a more precise sizing recommendation.

• Question 105:

  Which two options are requirements for enabling High Availability on a vRealize Operations cluster? (Choose two.)

  A. Only the Data nodes must be online.
  B. The cluster must have at least one Primary node.
  C. Only the Primary node must be online.
  D. The cluster must have at least one Data node.
  E. The cluster must have at least two Data nodes.
  B. The cluster must have at least one Primary node.
  D. The cluster must have at least one Data node.

  ---

  To enable High Availability (HA) on a vRealize Operations cluster, the following two options are requirements:

  The cluster must have at least one Primary node: The primary node is the first node that is deployed in the cluster and it is responsible for managing the cluster configuration, user interface, and administration functions. The primary node also stores data and performs analytics like any other data node.Without a primary node, the cluster cannot function properly. The cluster must have at least one Data node: A data node is a node that collects data from various sources, stores data in its local file system, and performs analytics and alerting functions. A data node also participates in the cluster load balancing and data replication. To activate HA, you must have at least one data node deployed, in addition to the primary node.This allows the creation of a replica node that can take over the primary node functions in case of a failure.

• Question 106:

  An administrator has been tasked with configuring vRealize Operations to discover which customapplication services are running on virtual machines. How should the administrator complete this task?

  A. Deploy Telegraf agent.
  B. Configure a White List.
  C. Create a custom xml file, and import it.
  D. Install the vRealize Operations Service Discover/ Management Pack.
  D. Install the vRealize Operations Service Discover/ Management Pack.

  ---

  To discover custom application services running on virtual machines, the administrator needs to install the vRealize Operations Service Discovery Management Pack1.This management pack enables service and application discovery using the Service Discovery adapter, which leverages the Telegraf agent to collect data from the end point VMs2.The administrator can configure the Service Discovery adapter to discover predefined and custom applications and services, and view their relationships and

  metrics in vRealize Operations3. The administrator can also create custom application definitions based on object names, tags, or properties, and import them as XML files.Configuring a white list is not a valid option, as it is used to filter out unwanted services from discovery.

• Question 107:

  Which Grouping Option in vRealize Operations allows the configuration of Tiers?

  A. Tags
  B. Applications
  C. Cloud Zones
  D. Custom Datacenter
  A. Tags

  ---

  According to the VMware vRealize Operations User Guide1, tags are labels that can be assigned to objects in vRealize Operations to group them based on common attributes or criteria. Tags can be used to filter, search, and organize objects in vRealize Operations, as well as to define policies, alerts, dashboards, and reports. Tags can also be used to configure tiers, which are logical groups of objects that represent different levels of service or performance in the environment. For example, the administrator

  can create tiers such as Gold, Silver, and Bronze, and assign tags to the objects that belong to each tier. Then, the administrator can use the tags to apply different policies, alerts, or dashboards to each tier.

  One of the grouping options in vRealize Operations that allows the configuration of tiers is Tags. This option allows the administrator to create custom groups based on the tags assigned to the objects. The administrator can select one or more tags to define the membership criteria for the custom group. The administrator can also specify the object type and the adapter type for the custom group. The custom group can then be used to configure tiers in vRealize Operations.

  Therefore, the correct answer is A. Tags, as this is the grouping option in vRealize Operations that allows the configuration of tiers.

• Question 108:

  An administrator has been tasked with making sure that the existing vRealize Operations Manager instance can monitor a newly deployed vSAN cluster within an existing vCenter Server. Which action should the administrator take to accomplish this goal?

  A. Add vSAN cluster under Other Accounts.
  B. Enable vSAN monitoring under existing vCenter Server Cloud Account.
  C. Download and install vRealize Operations Management Pack for vSAN.
  D. Add vSAN cluster under Cloud Accounts.
  B. Enable vSAN monitoring under existing vCenter Server Cloud Account.

  ---

  According to the vRealize Operations User Guide1, the action that the administrator should take to accomplish the goal of making sure that the existing vRealize Operations Manager instance can monitor a newly deployed vSAN cluster within an existing vCenter Server is to enable vSAN monitoring under the existing vCenter Server Cloud Account. A vCenter Server Cloud Account is a configuration that defines the connection details and credentials of the vCenter Server instance that manages the vSphere components, such as clusters, hosts, datastores, and virtual machines. By enabling vSAN monitoring under the vCenter Server Cloud Account, the administrator can allow vRealize Operations Manager to collect data from the vSAN cluster and monitor the health, performance, capacity, and configuration of the vSAN components, such as disk groups, disks, fault domains, and storage policies. The guide provides the steps to enable vSAN monitoring under the vCenter Server Cloud Account using the vRealize Operations Manager user interface.

  The other options are not correct because:

  Adding vSAN cluster under Other Accounts is not a valid action, as there is no such option in the vRealize Operations Manager user interface.The Other Accounts option under Administration is used to add accounts for other types of cloud services, such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Kubernetes, but not for vSAN cluster. Downloading and installing vRealize Operations Management Pack for vSAN is not a required action, as vRealize Operations Manager already supports vSAN monitoring natively without the need of any additional management pack.The vRealize Operations Management Pack for vSAN is an optional extension that provides additional dashboards, alerts, and reports for vSAN monitoring, but it is not necessary to accomplish the goa. Adding vSAN cluster under Cloud Accounts is not a valid action, as there is no such option in the vRealize Operations Manager user interface. The Cloud Accounts option under Administration is used to add accounts for VMware Cloud services, such as VMware Cloud on AWS, VMware Cloud Director, or NSX-T, but not for vSAN cluster.

• Question 109:

  A company is consuming services from multiple public clouds, and the administrator has been asked to configure vRealize Operations Manager to monitor all supported environments. Which two Cloud Accounts may be used? (Choose two.)

  A. Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  B. VMware Cloud on AWS
  C. Google Cloud
  D. Alibaba Cloud
  E. lBM Cloud
  A. Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  B. VMware Cloud on AWS

  ---

  Cloud Accounts are the connections that allow vRealize Operations Manager to collect data from various cloud platforms and services.vRealize Operations Manager supports several types of Cloud Accounts, such as VMware Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes. To monitor all supported environments, the administrator can use any combination of these Cloud Accounts, depending on the cloud services that the company is consuming. However, among the options given, only Amazon Web Services (AWS) and VMware Cloud on AWS are valid Cloud Accounts that can be used in vRealize Operations Manager.AWS is the leading public cloud provider that offers a wide range of compute, storage, networking, database, analytics, and other services.VMware Cloud on AWS is a hybrid cloud service that delivers a consistent VMware environment on the AWS infrastructure, allowing customers to migrate, extend, and modernize their applications.Both AWS and VMware Cloud on AWS can be integrated with vRealize Operations Manager by configuring the respective Cloud Accounts and providing the necessary credentials and regions.

  Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and IBM Cloud are also popular public cloud providers that offer various cloud services, but they are not supported as Cloud Accounts in vRealize Operations Manager. Therefore, they cannot be used to monitor the environments in vRealize Operations Manager. To monitor these cloud platforms, the administrator might need to use other tools or methods, such as third-party management packs, custom integrations, or external APIs.

• Question 110:

  Users have reported several application VMs are performing very slowly. The system administrator was requested to find out the source of the problem on both VMs and/or ESXi hosts level. vRealize Operations has not been configured with Application Remote Collector. Which action will help the administrator to quickly identify the underlying problem?

  A. Under Inventory, select Manage Agent, then select the VMs, and run Remote Checks on ICMP, HTTP checks.
  B. Under Report, use Configuration Report - Virtual Machines to list down possible changes that have occurred.
  C. Under Administration, choose Configuration, select Object Relationships, and then identify the VMs and ESXi hosts relationship to generate a correlation of the metric, and finally, isolate theissue.
  D. Under Dashboard, choose the out-of-the-box Performance dashboards that displays contention on both VMs and ESXi hosts.
  D. Under Dashboard, choose the out-of-the-box Performance dashboards that displays contention on both VMs and ESXi hosts.

  ---

  According to the vRealize Operations User Guide1, one of the best ways to quickly identify the underlying problem of slow application VMs is to use the out-of-the-box Performance dashboards that display contention on both VMs and ESXi hosts. These dashboards show the key performance indicators (KPIs) of CPU, memory, disk, and network for the selected objects, and highlight any contention or saturation issues that may affect the performance. The administrator can use these dashboards to drill down

  into the details of the metrics, alerts, events, and properties of the objects, and isolate the root cause of the problem. The other options are not correct because:

  Under Inventory, selecting Manage Agent, then selecting the VMs, and running Remote Checks on ICMP, HTTP checks is not a helpful action, as it only verifies the connectivity and availability of the VMs, but does not provide any information about the performance or contention of the VMs or the ESXi hosts2. Under Report, using Configuration Report - Virtual Machines to list down possible changes that have occurred is not a helpful action, as it only shows the configuration details of the VMs, such as

  name, UUID, power state, guest OS, CPU, memory, disk, and network, but does not show any performance or contention metrics or alerts of the VMs or the ESXi hosts. Under Administration, choosing Configuration, selecting Object Relationships, and then identifying the VMs and ESXi hosts relationship to generate a correlation of the metric, and finally, isolate the issue is not a helpful action, as it only shows the hierarchical and logical relationships between the objects, such as parent, child, sibling, and

  peer, but does not show any performance or contention metrics or alerts of the objects.
