VMware 5V0-35.21 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

 A vRealize Operations cluster in a Continuous Availability configuration consists of three node types: primary node, primary replica node, and witness node. These node types are deployed across two fault domains, which are separate physical locations that can tolerate failures of an entire rack or site. The witness node is deployed in a third location to monitor the network connectivity between the two fault domains and prevent split-brain scenarios1.

The primary node is the first node that is deployed in the cluster and acts as the master node. It is responsible for managing the cluster configuration, user interface, alerting, and reporting. The primary node is deployed in fault domain 11.

The primary replica node is the second node that is deployed in the cluster and acts as the backup node for the primary node. It is responsible for replicating and synchronizing the data and configuration from the primary node. The primary replica node can take over the functions of the primary node in case of a failure. The primary replica node is deployed in fault domain 21.

The witness node is the third node that is deployed in the cluster and acts as the arbitrator node. It is responsible for monitoring the network connectivity and availability of the primary node and the primary replica node. The witness node can detect a split-brain situation, which occurs when the network connection between the two fault domains is lost and both nodes assume the role of the master node. The witness node can resolve the split-brain situation by making one of the nodes offline to avoid data inconsistency. The witness node is deployed in a third location that is independent of the two fault domains1.

The other options are not node types that are configured in a Continuous Availability configuration. A secondary node is a node that is added to the cluster to increase the capacity and performance of the cluster. A secondary node can be deployed in either fault domain, but it is not required for Continuous Availability1. A remote collector node is a node that is deployed outside the cluster to collect data from remote or isolated data sources. A remote collector node can be deployed in any location, but it is not part of the Continuous Availability configuration2. A secondary replica node is not a valid node type in vRealize Operations.

 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 hosts3.
• 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 objects4. References: 1: vRealize Operations User Guide, pages 57-59, 62-632: vRealize Operations User Guide, pages 69-703: vRealize Operations User Guide, pages 81-824: vRealize Operations User Guide, pages 84-85.

In VMware vSphere environments, "Business Intent" is a feature in vRealize Operations that allows administrators to align workloads with business requirements. It ensures that specific workloads, like database virtual machines in your scenario, stay on or are moved to designated clusters based on defined business policies. This feature is essential for maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring that resources are optimized according to business needs.

Business intent is a feature that allows you to define the desired state of your clusters based on your business objectives and workload requirements. You can use business intent to specify the cluster placement and resource allocation for your database virtual machines according to their performance, availability, or efficiency needs1. For example, you can create a business intent policy that assigns high priority and high CPU and memoryreservations to your critical database VMs, and places them on a cluster that has the best hardware and network configuration2. Business intent works with vSphere DRS to automatically move and balance your VMs across the clusters that match your policy3.

The other options are not correct because they do not allow you to configure the cluster placement and resource allocation for your database VMs based on your business objectives. Custom group is a feature that allows you to group objects in your environment based on common attributes or relationships, but it does not define the desired state of your clusters. Compliance benchmark is a feature that allows you to assess the security and configuration compliance of your clusters against predefined or custom standards, but it does not define the desired state of your clusters. Operational intent is a feature that allows you to define the operational behavior of your clusters based on your operational objectives and constraints, such as power management, maintenance mode, or fault tolerance, but it does not define the desired state of your clusters. References: Business Intent, Create a Business Intent Policy, vSphere DRS and Business Intent, [Custom Group], [Compliance Benchmark], [Operational Intent]
