VMware vRealize Operations - Cloud Management Automation 2023 5V0-35.21 Syllabus Exam Questions Answers

Making sure the NFS server allows read-write access to the shared location by the root system account on each cell is the correct way to enable the collection of log bundles from all cells at once. This is because VMware Cloud Director uses the vmware-vcd-support script to collect host log information as well as Cloud Director logs, and this script requires the NFS server to have read-write access to the shared location by the root system account on each cell1. Installing vRealize Log Insight agent on each cell to redirect logs to a centralized location is not a valid option, as vRealize Log Insight is a separate product that does not integrate with VMware Cloud Director. Configuring a syslog server on each of the cells, and requesting the logs from the syslog server is not a feasible option, as it would require manual intervention and coordination to collect the logs from multiple sources. Mapping the log location on the primary cell to a shared folder on each of the other cells in the server group, ensuring they all have read/write rights on the primary is not asufficient option, as it does not address the NFS server configuration that is required for the vmware-vcd-support script to work properly. References: Collecting diagnostic information for VMware Cloud Director (1026312). Preparing the Transfer Server Storage for VMware Cloud Director on Linux.

To compare the cost of running workloads hosted with two different custom cloud providers, the administrator needs to create two new pricing cards in vRealize Operations. A pricing card is a template that defines the cost of cloud resources, such as compute, storage, network, and services. By creating two pricing cards, one for each custom cloud provider, the administrator can specify the prices for each resource type and apply discounts or markups as needed. The administrator can then use the pricing cards to run a what-if analysis and compare the cost of migrating or scaling workloads to the custom cloud providers. The other options are not correct for comparing the cost of running workloads hosted with two different custom cloud providers. Adding custom cloud providers as cloud accounts is not possible, as vRealize Operations only supports adding public cloud accounts, such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Inputting prices manually when running a what-if analysis is not efficient, as it would require entering the prices for each resource type and workload every time. Adding two custom cloud providers is not a valid option, as it is not clear how the administrator would define the cost of the cloud resources without using pricing cards. References: Create a Pricing Card, Compare the Cost of Running Workloads on Different Cloud Providers, What-If Analysis

 According to the vRealize Operations Cloud Getting Started guide1 and the VMware Cloud Services documentation2, the invitation that an organization’s owner sends to a new user to consume VMware Cloud Services is valid for up to seven days before it is revoked. If the user does not accept the invitation within this period, the invitation expires and the user cannot join the organization. The organization’s owner can resend the invitation or revoke it if needed. The other options are not correct because they do not match the actual validity period of the invitation. References: 1: vRealize Operations Cloud Getting Started guide, page 92: VMware Cloud Services documentation, Add Users to Your Organization section.

To generate a daily email report of a list of VMs that have been provisioned from vRA, you need to follow these steps:

• Create a custom view that displays the VM name, owner, and creation date for the deployments in the defined cluster. You can use the vRealize Automation Reporting - vRA8 deployment resources and statuses sample as a reference1.
• Create a report that uses the custom view as the template and select the output format as CSV or JSON.
• Schedule the report to run daily and set the start date and recurrence to daily (option A).
• In the Email addresses text box, enter the email addresses that must receive the report, and select an outbound rule (option B). You also need to configure an email server in vRealize Automation Service Broker to send notifications2.
• Click on Schedule, select vSphere Hosts and Clusters, expand vSphere World, and select the specific cluster (option E). This will filter the report data to only include the VMs provisioned to the defined cluster.
• Save the report and verify that it is sent to the email recipients as expected.

Option C is not required because the report is sent via email and does not need to be stored in an external location. Option D is redundant because the start date and recurrence are already set in option A. Option F is incorrect because it will include all the VMs in the vCenter, not just the ones in the defined cluster. References:
