2V0-32.24 Question 137
Single answerYour company has deployed a vRealize Operations (vROps) cluster consisting of three nodes. You notice that the cluster is running low on disk space, and a new node needs to be added. Which of the following actions should you take to properly expand the cluster?
- A
Add a new vROps node to the cluster and configure its role as a Replica.
- B
Add a new vROps node to the cluster and configure its role as a Data node.
- C
Shutdown one of the existing nodes to free up resources before adding a new node.
- D
Add a new vROps node to the cluster and configure its role as a Master.
- E
Ensure that the new node is on the same network and time-synchronized with the existing cluster.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
To expand a vRealize Operations cluster, you typically add a Data node. Data nodes are designed to scale out the cluster’s capacity by providing additional storage and processing resources. Configuring the new node as a Data node ensures proper integration into the existing cluster, while other node roles like Master or Master Replica are not applicable in this scenario. Proper network and time synchronization are prerequisites, but they alone do not expand the cluster.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Replica is not a valid node role in vROps. The appropriate roles for nodes in vROps are Master, Master Replica, Data node, or Remote Collector.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Data nodes are used to expand the capacity of a vROps cluster. Adding a Data node helps distribute workloads and increase the cluster’s storage and processing capabilities.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Shutting down an existing node is not a valid procedure for adding a new node. This approach may cause service disruption.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Only one Master node is allowed in a vROps cluster. Adding another node as a Master would violate cluster configuration rules.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While ensuring the new node is on the same network and time-synchronized is essential, it is not the complete solution for expanding the cluster.
