5V0-35.21 vRealize Operations Specialist Practice Questions

For a Large vRealize Operations deployment size, the recommended architecture consists of a primary node, a primary replica node for HA, and a minimum of four data nodes to handle the analytics and data storage for the specified object count. The total node count would be 1 (Primary) + 1 (Replica) + 4 (Data) = 6 nodes.

The Cloud Proxy is a virtual appliance deployed in the on-premises data center. Its main function is to securely collect data from local endpoints like vCenter Server and then forward that data to the vRealize Operations Cloud (SaaS) platform for analysis. It acts as a bridge between the on-premises environment and the cloud service.

Reclamation recommendations are driven by the active policy. For sensitive workloads, the policy can be adjusted to be more conservative. For example, the administrator could increase the headroom buffer, change the analysis window to capture more historical peaks, or use a higher percentile for usage calculation. This allows vRealize Operations to provide more tailored, less aggressive recommendations for this specific VM without disabling the feature entirely.

The import and export functionality for dashboards, views, and reports is located under the content management sections. Specifically for dashboards, the path is Visualize -> Dashboards, and then selecting 'Manage' or the gear icon, which provides the option to import dashboards from a file.

vRealize Operations uses a specific order of precedence to determine the effective policy for an object. Policies applied to Custom Groups are evaluated after and have higher priority than policies inherited from the vSphere hierarchy (like Datacenter or Cluster). Therefore, the setting from the policy applied to the Custom Group ('Enabled') will override the setting from the policy applied at the Cluster level ('Disabled').

The correct approach is to first define the condition to be monitored, which is done using a Symptom Definition. In this case, it would be a metric-based symptom for CPU|Co-stop (%) > 5. The Alert Definition then consumes this symptom and is configured with a wait cycle to ensure the condition persists for the required duration (e.g., a 5-minute collection interval with a wait cycle of 2 equals 10 minutes). Finally, a Notification Rule or Action is configured to handle the alert. Creating a Super Metric is unnecessary as co-stop is a standard metric. A View is for visualization, not for triggering alerts.

The sum() function is required to aggregate the vCPU counts from all individual VMs into a single total value for the cluster.

The where() function is necessary to filter the VMs so that only those with a power state of 'poweredOn' are included in the summation, as per the requirement.

The Scoreboard widget is ideal for showing the high-level health of a few key objects (the applications). The dedicated Cost widget is the best way to display monthly cost information. The Capacity widget is designed specifically to show metrics like 'Time Remaining' for resources such as datastores. This combination directly addresses all three executive requirements in a clear, concise manner.

This statement is true. Continuous Availability (CA) is designed for disaster avoidance by stretching a single vRealize Operations cluster across two fault domains. It provides a higher level of availability than standard HA, allowing the cluster to remain operational even if one entire fault domain fails.

The primary role of a Remote Collector node is to gather data from remote sites and forward it to the analytics cluster. By placing a Remote Collector in DC2, it can collect data locally from the ESXi hosts and then send compressed, resilient data streams back to the main cluster in DC1. This architecture is specifically designed to handle high-latency, unreliable network links.
