VCP-CMA 2024 Question 195
Select 3An organization has created several flavor mappings in VMware Aria Automation to standardize VM configurations across multiple cloud providers. While deploying a new blueprint, the cloud administrator notices that the deployment fails due to an error related to an invalid flavor mapping. Which of the following actions should the administrator take to resolve the issue?
- A
Verify that the flavor mapping exists in the appropriate project.
- B
Ensure the flavor mapping references a valid instance type in the target cloud region.
- C
Check if the flavor mapping includes a valid storage configuration.
- D
Update the blueprint to use an existing flavor mapping.
- E
Restart the VMware Aria Automation appliance to refresh the flavor mappings.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
Flavor mappings in VMware Aria Automation are used to define standardized VM sizes across cloud providers. If a deployment fails due to an invalid flavor mapping, the administrator must ensure that the mapping is valid, exists in the correct project, and references a valid instance type in the target cloud region. Additionally, the blueprint must use an existing flavor mapping. Restarting the appliance or checking unrelated configurations will not resolve the issue.
- A. Correct.
Flavor mappings are scoped to specific projects, and the deployment will fail if the flavor mapping does not belong to the project being used.
- B. Correct.
Flavor mappings must reference valid instance types in the target cloud region. If the instance type is invalid or unavailable, the deployment will fail.
- C. Incorrect.
Flavor mappings do not directly include storage configurations. Storage is managed separately in VMware Aria Automation.
- D. Correct.
If the flavor mapping referenced in the blueprint does not exist, the blueprint must be updated to use an existing and valid flavor mapping.
- E. Incorrect.
Restarting the VMware Aria Automation appliance is not required to resolve flavor mapping issues. The problem lies in the configuration, not the system state.
