VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 270
Single answerYou are administering a VMware Cloud Foundation environment that includes a deployed Aria Suite (formerly vRealize Suite). Due to increased workload requirements, you need to scale the deployment by adding an additional instance of VMware Aria Operations (formerly vRealize Operations Manager). What is the correct sequence of steps to scale the Aria Suite deployment?
- A
Access the SDDC Manager, navigate to the Aria Suite deployment, and add a new node to the Aria Operations cluster.
- B
Directly log in to the Aria Operations Manager appliance and add a new node through its cluster management settings.
- C
Open the vSphere Client, deploy a new Aria Operations Manager appliance, and manually add it to the existing cluster.
- D
Use the VMware Cloud Foundation API to automate the scaling process by adding a new Aria Operations instance.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Scaling an existing Aria Suite deployment within a VMware Cloud Foundation environment must be performed using the SDDC Manager. This ensures the new instance is properly integrated with the current deployment and adheres to VMware best practices, avoiding manual errors or unsupported configurations.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Scaling an Aria Suite deployment, including Aria Operations, is managed through the SDDC Manager. This ensures proper integration with the VMware Cloud Foundation platform.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Scaling must be managed through the SDDC Manager to maintain consistency and integration within the VMware Cloud Foundation environment.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Manually deploying a new Aria Operations Manager appliance and adding it to the cluster bypasses the SDDC Manager, which can lead to unsupported configurations.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While using APIs can automate tasks, scaling the Aria Suite must still be initiated and managed via the SDDC Manager for proper configuration and deployment.
