VCP-CMA 2024 Question 94
Select 3An organization has several existing workloads running in their vSphere environment and wants to onboard them into VMware Aria Automation for lifecycle management. Which steps should the organization perform as part of the onboarding process?
- A
Install and configure the VMware Aria Automation Integration Service on the existing workloads.
- B
Create a cloud account in VMware Aria Automation that connects to the vSphere environment.
- C
Create a custom onboarding plan to map existing workloads to VMware Aria Automation projects.
- D
Enable data collection in VMware Aria Automation to discover the existing workloads.
- E
Deploy VMware Tools on all existing workloads to enable Aria Automation management.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, C, D
Explanation
To onboard existing workloads into VMware Aria Automation, the organization must first create a cloud account to connect to the vSphere environment. Enabling data collection allows VMware Aria Automation to discover the workloads. Once the workloads are discovered, the organization can use onboarding plans to map them to specific projects in VMware Aria Automation. These steps ensure the workloads are properly integrated for lifecycle management without requiring additional software installations such as VMware Tools.
- A. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because there is no requirement to install a separate integration service for onboarding workloads into VMware Aria Automation. Workloads are onboarded by connecting to the vSphere environment and utilizing existing discovery capabilities.
- B. Correct.
This is correct because a cloud account must be created in VMware Aria Automation to establish connectivity with the vSphere environment, enabling workload discovery and management.
- C. Correct.
This is correct because an onboarding plan is used to map the discovered workloads into appropriate VMware Aria Automation projects, ensuring they are properly categorized and managed.
- D. Correct.
This is correct because enabling data collection allows VMware Aria Automation to discover and import information about the existing workloads in the connected vSphere environment.
- E. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because VMware Tools is not a prerequisite for onboarding workloads into VMware Aria Automation. Workload onboarding relies on vSphere integration and data collection, not specific tools installed on workloads.
