B . Cost options for increasing cluster capacity with additional hosts
C . Modifications to virtual machine configuration
D . Modifications to host configurations

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: A
A

Explanation:

The alternative that is offered by default when Workload Planning returns that an existing cluster does not have the capacity to accommodate the selected virtual machines is cost comparisons for running in hybrid/private/public cloud. Workload Planning is a feature of vRealize Operations that allows the administrator to plan and optimize the workload placement and capacity of the vSphere resources in the environment1. Workload Planning can be performed using two scenarios: Workload Optimization and What-If Analysis. Workload Optimization is a scenario that automatically balances the workload across the clusters and datastores based on the business and operational intents, such as performance, consolidation, or compliance2.

What-If Analysis is a scenario that simulates the impact of adding or removing workloads, hosts, or datastores, or changing the demand or configuration of the existing workloads3. When Workload Planning is performed using the What-If Analysis scenario, and it returns that an existing cluster does not have the capacity to accommodate the selected virtual machines, the alternative that is offered by default is cost comparisons for running in hybrid/private/public cloud. This alternative allows the administrator to compare the estimated costs of running the selected virtual machines in different cloud platforms, such as VMware Cloud on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Amazon Web Services, and to choose the best option for the business needs and budget4. Cost options for increasing cluster capacity with additional hosts (option B) is not the alternative that is offered by default, but it is another option that can be selected by the administrator. This option allows the administrator to estimate the costs of adding new hosts to the existing cluster, and to choose the best host model and quantity for the capacity and performance requirements5. Modifications to virtual machine configuration (option C) and modifications to host configurations (option D) are not alternatives that are offered by Workload Planning, as they are not related to the workload placement and capacity planning. These modifications can be performed using other features of vRealize Operations, such as Reclaimable Waste, Oversized Virtual Machines, or Configuration and Compliance.

Explanation:

Workload Management is a feature of VMware vRealize Operations that enables self-driving operations management for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to monitor, analyze, and automate the performance, capacity, cost, and configuration of applications, infrastructure, and services12.

Workload Management allows administrators to set a goal for workload optimization, which defines how vRealize Operations balances the resource utilization across clusters and data centers. The goal can be one of the following options34:

Balance: This option proactively moves workloads so that the resource utilization ensures maximum headroom for all resources. This means that vRealize Operations tries to distribute the workload evenly across the clusters and data centers, and avoid resource contention or overcommitment. This option is suitable for scenarios where workload performance is the first priority, and where there is a need for extra space for growth or spikes in demand.

Moderate: This option minimizes the workload contention by moving workloads away from clusters and data centers that are experiencing high resource utilization. This means that vRealize Operations tries to reduce the risk of performance degradation or SLA violations by ensuring that there is enough capacity to meet the workload demand. This option is suitable for scenarios where workload availability and reliability are the main goals, and where there is a moderate tolerance for resource imbalance or inefficiency.

Consolidate: This option proactively minimizes the number of clusters and data centers used by workloads by moving workloads to the clusters and data centers that have the lowest resource utilization. This means that vRealize Operations tries to optimize the resource efficiency and reduce the operational cost by freeing up unused or underutilized resources. This option is suitable for scenarios where workload consolidation and cost optimization are the primary objectives, and where there is a high tolerance for resource contention or overcommitment.

Workload Management relies on VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and VMware Storage DRS to perform the workload optimization actions. DRS is a feature that automatically balances the compute resources and power consumption across the hosts in a cluster. Storage DRS is a feature that automatically balances the storage resources and I/O load across the datastores in a datastore cluster.

To enable Workload Management to move a storage resource, such as a virtual disk or a virtual machine, Storage DRS must be enabled for the cluster that contains the storage resource. Storage DRS can be enabled or disabled at the cluster level, and can be configured with different automation levels, such as manual, fully automated, or partially automated.

If Storage DRS is not enabled for the cluster, Workload Management cannot move the storage resource, as it does not have the permission or the mechanism to do so. This is the underlying reason

for the problem. The other options are not relevant for moving a storage resource. DRS is only responsible for moving the compute resources, such as CPU and memory, not the storage resources. Storage DRS can be configured for both intra-datacenter and cross-datacenter migrations, not only for cross-datacenter migrations. The automation level of DRS does not affect the ability of Workload Management to move the storage resource, as long as Storage DRS is enabled.

Question #37

An administrator is asked to onboard an on-premises vCenter instance into an existing vRealize Operations Cloud instance.

Which two steps are needed to accomplish this goal? (Choose two.)

A . Deploy and configure a Data node.
B . Deploy and configure a cloud proxy.
C . Add a vRealize Operations Cloud account.
D . Deploy and configure a Primary node.
E . Add a vCenter cloud account.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B, E
B, E

Explanation:

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 interface and 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.
