VCP-CMA 2024 Question 34
Select 3You are preparing the prerequisites for a vRealize Automation (vRA) 8.x installation in a production environment. Which of the following steps must you complete for a successful deployment?
- A
Configure DNS records for the vRA appliance and verify forward and reverse lookup.
- B
Ensure the NTP service is synchronized across all nodes in the environment.
- C
Create a service account with administrative privileges for vRA deployment.
- D
Obtain and install an SSL certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) for the vRA appliance.
- E
Disable firewalls on all nodes in the environment to avoid communication issues.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To prepare for a successful vRA 8.x installation, DNS and NTP configurations are critical for communication and synchronization across the environment. Additionally, obtaining a signed SSL certificate ensures secure communication. However, service accounts do not require administrative privileges, and disabling firewalls is unnecessary if the appropriate ports are configured.
- A. Correct.
Correct. DNS is critical for vRA deployment as it relies on both forward and reverse DNS lookups to properly resolve hostnames and IP addresses.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Time synchronization via NTP is essential for ensuring proper communication and functionality across all vRA components.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While service accounts are necessary, they do not need administrative privileges for vRA deployment. Limited, specific permissions are sufficient.
- D. Correct.
Correct. A valid SSL certificate signed by a trusted CA ensures secure communication between vRA components and the clients accessing the system.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Disabling firewalls is not a recommended practice. Instead, the required ports should be opened in accordance with VMware's documentation.
