• Question 81:

  Which two additional parameters are taken into account when sizing a vRealize Operations cluster using the sizing tool? (Choose two.)

  A. Time Series Data Retention
  B. Number of nodes
  C. Projected Growth
  D. Node size
  E. Number of current users
  A. Time Series Data Retention
  C. Projected Growth

  ---

  According to the VMware vRealize Operations Install and Configure Guide1, the sizing tool is a web-based application that helps to estimate the required resources and configuration for a vRealize Operations cluster.

  The sizing tool takes into account various parameters,such as the number and type of objects to be monitored, the number of metrics and properties to be collected, the number of alerts and dashboards to be displayed, the number of users and concurrent sessions, and the desired availability and performance of the cluster.

  Two of the additional parameters that are taken into account when sizing a vRealize Operations cluster using the sizing tool are:

  Time Series Data Retention: This parameter specifies the duration for which the collected metrics and properties are stored in the vRealize Operations database. The longer the retention period, the more disk space is required for the cluster nodes. The sizing tool allows the user to select the retention period from 1 month to 12 months, or to enter a custom value. Projected Growth: This parameter specifies the expected increase in the number and type of objects to be monitored over time. The higher the

  projected growth, the more resources are required for the cluster nodes. The sizing tool allows the user to select the projected growth from 0% to 100%, or to enter a custom value.

  Therefore, the correct answers are A. Time Series Data Retention and C. Projected Growth, as these are two of the additional parameters that are taken into account when sizing a vRealize Operations cluster using the sizing tool.

• Question 82:

  Which vRealize Operations feature allows administrators to suspend active alerts temporarily while still retaining alert history?

  A. Cancel Alert
  B. Take Ownership
  C. Suspend Alert
  D. Disable Alert Definition
  C. Suspend Alert

  ---

  Suspending an alert stops further notifications and evaluation cycles for the selected alert while preserving the historical alert information. This is useful when administrators are actively investigating issues. Cancel Alert (Option A) removes the alert instance. Taking Ownership (Option B) only assigns responsibility. Disabling alert definitions (Option D) affects all objects globally and is not suitable for temporary investigation.

• Question 83:

  Where can management packs for vRealize Operations be found and downloaded?

  A. VMware Knowledge Base
  B. VMware Marketplace
  C. VMware Learning Zone
  D. VMware vRealize Operations Product Documentation page
  B. VMware Marketplace

  ---

  Management packs in VMware vRealize Operations provide capability for expanding the monitoring, troubleshooting, and remediation functionality of SDDC and third party solutions. Administrators can install and configure management packs in a vRealize Operations instance.You can download Management Packs and End Point Operations Plug-Ins for vRealize Operations from VMware Marketplace.For detailed information on installing and configuring the Management Pack, refer to the related user guide.

• Question 84:

  An administrator wants to reduce CPU rightsizing recommendations for a set of virtual machines running latency-sensitive applications. What should be configured?

  A. A new Capacity Policy with CPU Overcommit set to 8:1
  B. A Custom Group with policy override disabling CPU reclaim
  C. A Workload Automation Intent set to Moderate
  D. A Super Metric excluding CPU Ready from performance analysis
  B. A Custom Group with policy override disabling CPU reclaim

  ---

  For latency-sensitive workloads, administrators often want to suppress aggressive rightsizing recommendations. Creating a Custom Group containing these VMs and applying a policy override that disables or relaxes CPU reclamation and rightsizing ensures that vROps will not recommend reducing CPU allocations. Overcommit ratio (Option A) affects cluster capacity, not VM rightsizing. Workload Intent (Option C) does not control rightsizing logic. Excluding CPU Ready via Super Metric (Option D) does not prevent rightsizing evaluations.

• Question 85:

  What should be defined to ensure that group members can access vRealize Operations objects when importing a group from Active Directory into vRealize Operations?

  A. Description
  B. Role
  C. Group Members
  D. Type
  B. Role

  ---

  Role is the attribute that should be defined to ensure that group members can access vRealize Operations objects when importing a group from Active Directory into vRealize Operations. Role is a set of permissions that defines what actions a user or a group can perform on vRealize Operations objects, such as dashboards, alerts, reports, and policies. By assigning a role to a group, the administrator can grant or restrict access to vRealize Operations objects for all the group members. Description, Group Members, and Type are not attributes that ensure that group members can access vRealize Operations objects when importing a group from Active Directory into vRealize Operations. Description is an optional field that provides additional information about the group. Group Members is a list of users that belong to the group. Type is a classification of the group based on the source, such as Local, LDAP, or Active Directory.

• Question 86:

  An administrator configured a Symptom with a Wait Cycle of 3 and a Cancel Cycle of 2. The default cycle was not changed. How many minutes will it take for both to be triggered?

  A. Wait: 15 minutes, Cancel: 15 minutes
  B. Wait: 15 minutes, Cancel: 20 minutes
  C. Wait: 15 minutes, Cancel: 10 minutes
  D. Wait: 20 minutes, Cancel: 15 minutes
  C. Wait: 15 minutes, Cancel: 10 minutes

  ---

  According to the VMware vRealize Operations Reference Materials, the Wait Cycle and the Cancel Cycle are the settings that determine how long a symptom condition must be true or false before the symptom is triggered or cancelled. The default cycle for both settings is 5 minutes, which means that each cycle corresponds to one collection interval of 5 minutes. Therefore, if a symptom has a Wait Cycle of 3 and a Cancel Cycle of 2, it will take 15 minutes (3 cycles x 5 minutes) for the symptom to be triggered after the condition becomes true, and 10 minutes (2 cycles x 5 minutes) for the symptom to be cancelled after the condition becomes false. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the calculation based on the given settings and the default cycle.

• Question 87:

  Which option should an administrator select to achieve the lowest cost in Workload Optimization?

  A. Balance
  B. Efficiency
  C. Shrink
  D. Consolidate
  D. Consolidate

  ---

  To achieve the lowest cost in Workload Optimization, the administrator should select the Consolidate option, which will place VMs into as few clusters as possible, but allows for less responsive capacity.This is good for populations with steady demand and may reduce licensing and hardware costs, such as power and cooling1.The Consolidate option is one of the three operational intents that can be selected for Workload Optimization, along with Balance and Moderate2. The Balance option will spread VMs evenly over the available resources, but may move VMs more often.The Moderate option will minimize VM contention, but will not attempt to move VMs to achieve better balance or consolidation.

• Question 88:

  An administrator has been notified of a critical alert associated with a VMware Cloud on AWS cloud account. The alert states that "Objects are not receiving data from adapter instance".

  The administrator needs to:

  Stop the alert from triggering again while investigating the problem.

  Automatically assign the alert to themselves.

  Which action should the administrator take?

  A. Take Ownership
  B. Suspend Alert
  C. Disable
  D. Cancel Alert
  B. Suspend Alert

  ---

  Suspending an alert is the action that allows the administrator to stop the alert from triggering again while investigating the problem.Suspending an alert also automatically assigns the alert to the user who performed the action 1.Suspending an alert does not cancel or disable the alert, but rather pauses the alert evaluation until the user resumes or cancels the alert 2.Taking ownership of an alert does not stop the alert from triggering again, but only indicates that the user is responsible for resolving the alert 3.Disabling an alert prevents the alert from being generated for any object, which is not recommended unless the alert is no longer relevant or useful 4.Canceling an alert removes the alert from the system, which is not appropriate if the alert is still valid and requires investigation.

• Question 89:

  Which is the valid out-of-the-box notification type supported by vRealize Operations Manager?

  A. SMS
  B. Remedy
  C. Microsoft Teams
  D. Slack
  C. Microsoft Teams

  ---

  vRealize Operations Manager supports various notification methods out of the box, including email notifications and integration with third-party systems. Microsoft Teams is one of the platforms supported for notifications, allowing for alerts and updates fromvRealize Operations Manager to be directly sent to a Microsoft Teams channel. This integration facilitates real-time alerting and collaboration within IT teams. However, options like SMS and Slack might require additional third-party plugins or integrations and are not natively supported as out-of-the-box notification types. Remedy, being an IT service management tool, can be integrated but is not a direct notification type.

• Question 90:

  After deploying vRealize Operations, an administrator needs to configure cost drivers to accurately reflect the purchase price and date of all nodes within the VMware vSAN cluster that are being monitored. Which type of cost driver should the administrator select?

  A. Server Hardware: Hyper-Converged
  B. Storage
  C. Server Hardware: Traditional
  D. Additional Costs
  A. Server Hardware: Hyper-Converged

  ---

  According to the VMware vRealize Operations Cloud Cost Management Guide1, cost drivers are the factors that influence the cost of running a service or a resource. Cost drivers can be based on various parameters, such as hardware, software, labor, power, cooling, etc. Cost drivers can be configured in vRealize Operations to reflect the actual costs of the monitored environment and to generate accurate cost reports and analysis. One of the types of cost drivers that can be configured in vRealize

  Operations is Server Hardware. This cost driver allows the administrator to specify the purchase price and date of the physical servers that host the virtual machines. The purchase price and date are used to calculate the depreciation and the residual value of the servers over time. The Server Hardware cost driver has three sub-types: Traditional, Hyper-Converged, and Cloud. Each sub-type has different options and calculations for the cost driver.

  The Traditional sub-type is used for servers that have separate storage devices, such as SAN or NAS. The Hyper-Converged sub-type is used for servers that have integrated storage devices, such as vSAN. The Cloud sub-type is used for servers that are hosted by a cloud provider, such as AWS or Azure.

  Therefore, the correct answer is A. Server Hardware: Hyper-Converged, as this is the type of cost driver that should be selected by the administrator to configure the cost of the nodes within the VMware vSAN cluster that are being monitored.
