How should the administrator accomplish this goal?

The VMware Cloud Director administrator wants to make sure that the system is able to collect log bundles from all cells at once.

How should the administrator accomplish this goal?
A . Install vRealize Log Insight agent on each cell to redirect logs to a centralized location.
B . Configure a syslog server on each of the cells, and request the logs from the syslog server.
C . Map 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.
D . Make sure the NFS server allows read-write access to the shared location by the root system account on each cell.

Answer: D

Explanation:

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 a sufficient option, as it does not address the NFS server configuration that is required for the vmware-vcd-support script to work properly.
