 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.

 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

According to the vRealize Operations Cloud Getting Started guide1, the two steps that are needed to onboard an on-premises vCenter instance into an existing vRealize Operations Cloud instance are:

• Deploy and configure a cloud proxy. A cloud proxy is a virtual appliance that acts as a bridge between the on-premises vCenter instance and the vRealize Operations Cloud instance. It collects data from the vCenter instance and sends it securely to the vRealize Operations Cloud instance. It also enables actions and remote console access from the vRealize Operations Cloud instance to the on-premises vCenter instance. The guide provides the steps to download, deploy, and configure the cloud proxy using the vRealize Operations Cloud user interface1.
• Add a vCenter cloud account. A vCenter cloud account is a configuration that defines the connection details and credentials of the on-premises vCenter instance. It also specifies the cloud proxy that is associated with the vCenter instance. The guide provides the steps to add a vCenter cloud account using the vRealize Operations Cloud user interface1.

The other options are not correct because:

• Deploying and configuring a Data node is not a required step to onboard an on-premises vCenter instance into an existing vRealize Operations Cloud instance. A Data node is a component of the vRealize Operations Cloud cluster that stores and processes data. It is managed by the vRealize Operations Cloud service provider and does not need to be deployed or configured by the customer2.
• Deploying and configuring a Primary node is not a required step to onboard an on-premises vCenter instance into an existing vRealize Operations Cloud instance. A Primary node is a component of the vRealize Operations Cloud cluster that provides the user interfaceand administration functions. It is managed by the vRealize Operations Cloud service provider and does not need to be deployed or configured by the customer2.
• Adding a vRealize Operations Cloud account is not a required step to onboard an on-premises vCenter instance into an existing vRealize Operations Cloud instance. A vRealize Operations Cloud account is a configuration that defines the connection details and credentials of the vRealize Operations Cloud instance. It is used to integrate vRealize Operations Cloud with other VMware Cloud services, such as VMware Cloud on AWS or VMware Cloud Director. It is not related to the on-premises vCenter instance3. References: 1: vRealize Operations Cloud Getting Started guide, pages 9-132: vRealize Operations Cloud Concepts guide, pages 5-63: vRealize Operations Cloud User Guide, pages 17-18.
