VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 64
Single answerYou are tasked with deploying VMware Aria Suite in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment. Which pre-deployment requirement must be fulfilled to ensure a successful deployment?
- A
Ensure that the SDDC Manager has been configured with NTP and DNS settings.
- B
Verify that the vSphere Cluster hosting the Aria Suite components is using vSAN as the primary storage.
- C
Confirm that the NSX-T Data Center has been configured with an Edge Cluster.
- D
Ensure that the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle (vRSLCM) appliance is deployed and accessible.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The VMware Aria Suite requires the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle (vRSLCM) appliance to be deployed before any other components can be installed. This appliance acts as the management and orchestration tool for the suite, ensuring streamlined deployments, upgrades, and maintenance. While other elements like NTP, DNS, or NSX-T may be important for the broader VMware Cloud Foundation environment, they are not specific to the deployment of VMware Aria Suite.
- A. Incorrect.
While proper NTP and DNS configuration on the SDDC Manager is critical for overall VMware Cloud Foundation functionality, it is not a specific pre-requisite for deploying VMware Aria Suite.
- B. Incorrect.
Using vSAN as primary storage is not a requirement for deploying VMware Aria Suite. It can work with other storage solutions as long as compatibility requirements are met.
- C. Incorrect.
NSX-T Edge Clusters are not a direct dependency for deploying VMware Aria Suite. However, NSX-T may be required for other VCF functionalities.
- D. Correct.
Deploying the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle (vRSLCM) appliance is a mandatory pre-deployment step, as it is the central component that facilitates the installation and management of VMware Aria Suite components.
