2V0-32.24 Question 79
Select 3You are tasked with deploying a new VMware vRealize Operations Manager (vROps) cluster in your environment. During the planning phase, which of the following pre-requisites must be verified to ensure a successful installation?
- A
DNS records for the vROps nodes are created and resolvable both forward and reverse.
- B
NTP is configured and synchronized across all the nodes in the cluster.
- C
A dedicated service account with administrator privileges in vCenter Server is created.
- D
A distributed firewall rule is created to block all traffic to the vROps nodes for security reasons.
- E
The IP addresses of the vROps nodes are statically assigned or reserved in DHCP.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
Proper DNS, NTP synchronization, and static or reserved IP configurations are critical pre-requisites for the installation of VMware vRealize Operations Manager. These ensure that the nodes can communicate reliably and function as a cluster. Service accounts and firewall rules, while important for certain aspects of VMware environments, are not core installation pre-requisites for vROps.
- A. Correct.
Correct. DNS records must be properly configured for the vROps nodes to resolve each other by hostname, which is critical for cluster communication and service discovery.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Time synchronization is essential for ensuring proper cluster operations and avoiding issues with authentication, logging, and communication.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While a service account may be used for some VMware operations, it is not a mandatory pre-requisite for vROps installation.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Blocking traffic to the vROps nodes would disrupt communication within the cluster and with external systems, preventing the solution from functioning.
- E. Correct.
Correct. Static or DHCP-reserved IPs are required to ensure consistent network configuration for the vROps nodes. Dynamic IPs are not recommended for production environments.
