VCP-CMA 2024 Question 28
Select 3During the installation of vRealize Automation, you are tasked with creating a distributed deployment to ensure high availability. Which steps are essential to properly set up the environment for this deployment?
- A
Deploy a load balancer and configure it for vRealize Automation components.
- B
Install and configure an external PostgreSQL database for vRealize Automation.
- C
Deploy multiple vRealize Automation appliance nodes and configure them in a cluster.
- D
Install vSphere Replication to ensure data replication across nodes.
- E
Configure the embedded vRealize Orchestrator to work with the deployment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
When setting up a distributed deployment of vRealize Automation, certain components are mandatory to ensure high availability and fault tolerance. A load balancer is needed to distribute traffic among nodes, an external PostgreSQL database is essential since the embedded database cannot support distributed setups, and multiple appliance nodes must be deployed and clustered. These steps ensure a robust and scalable implementation, while other options like vSphere Replication or vRealize Orchestrator configuration are not directly related to this deployment scenario.
- A. Correct.
A load balancer is critical in a distributed deployment to distribute traffic among vRealize Automation nodes and ensure high availability.
- B. Correct.
An external PostgreSQL database is required for vRealize Automation in a distributed setup, as the embedded database is not suitable for such deployments.
- C. Correct.
Multiple appliance nodes are necessary in a clustered configuration for fault tolerance and high availability in a distributed deployment.
- D. Incorrect.
vSphere Replication is not a requirement for vRealize Automation deployments and is unrelated to this setup.
- E. Incorrect.
While vRealize Orchestrator is part of the vRealize Automation solution, configuring it is not a mandatory step during the distributed setup process.
