VMware Updated 5V0-35.21 Exam Questions and Answers by nansi

 According to the VMware vRealize Operations Reference Materials, the cloud provider that needs to be added as a custom cloud provider when running a What-If Analysis is Oracle Cloud. The What-If Analysis feature allows the administrator to compare the cost and performance of running workloads in different public cloud providers, such as AWS, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud. These public cloud providers are supported out-of-the-box in vRealize Operations, and the administrator can select them from the predefined list when creating a migration scenario. However, if the administrator wants to compare the cost and performance of running workloads in Oracle Cloud, they need to add it as a custom cloud provider, and upload a rate card that contains the pricing information for Oracle Cloud services. The other options are incorrect because they are supported out-of-the-box in vRealize Operations, and they do not need to be added as a custom cloud provider when running a What-If Analysis. References: What-If-Analysis - Migration Planning: Public Cloud; VMware vRealize Operations What-If Analysis; VMware vRealize Operations for Public Cloud

 Symptom types are the categories of conditions that can trigger symptoms and alerts in vRealize Operations. There are six symptom types available: Metric / Property, Message, Fault, Smart Early Warning, External Event, and Metric Event1. Metric / Property symptoms compare the values of metrics or properties of an object to a static or dynamic threshold2. Fault symptoms detect faults or errors on an object based on the fault events collected by the adapter3. Alert, Action, and Recommendation are not symptom types, but they are components of alert definitions that provide information and guidance on how to resolve the problems identified by the symptoms4. References:

• Symptom Definitions
• Create a Symptom Definition Based on Metrics or Properties
• Create a Symptom Definition Based on Fault Events

The three main categories for reclamation that are available to the administrator in the Reclaim view on the Home Screen navigation are orphaned disks, snapshots, and powered off VMs. The Reclaim view is a feature of vRealize Operations that allows the administrator to identify and reclaim the wasted or unused resources in the environment, such as storage, CPU, and memory1. The Reclaim view shows the potential savings and the actions that can be taken to reclaim the resources for each category. The orphaned disks category shows the virtual disks that are not associated with any virtual machine, and that can be deleted to free up storage space2. The snapshots category shows the snapshots that are older than a specified age, and that can be deleted to free up storage space and improve performance3. The powered off VMs category shows the virtual machines that are powered off for more than a specified period, and that can be deleted or archived to free up storage, CPU, and memory resources4. The unused datastores category (option A) is not a main category for reclamation that is available in the Reclaim view, as it is not a source of wasted or unused resources. The unused datastores are datastores that are not used by any virtual machine or host, and that can be removed from the inventory or assigned to other objects5. The VM disks utilized %10 or less category (option E) is not a main category for reclamation that is available in the Reclaim view, as it is not a source of wasted or unused resources. The VM disks utilized %10 or less are virtual disks that have low utilization, and that can be resized to reduce the allocated storage space6. The unused hosts category (option F) is not a main category for reclamation that is available in the Reclaim view, as it is not a source of wasted or unused resources. The unused hosts are hosts that are not used by any virtual machine or cluster, and that can be removed from the inventory or assigned to other objects. References:

 The support bundle that the customer should send that fits the bandwidth constraints is the light-support bundle from all nodes. A support bundle is a collection of logs, configuration files, and diagnostic information that can be used by VMware support to troubleshoot and resolve issues with vRealize Operations1. A support bundle can be generated from the Admin UI of vRealize Operations, and it can include information from the primary nodes, the replica nodes, and the remote collectors2. A support bundle can be either full or light, depending on the amount and type of information that is included. A full-support bundle contains all the logs, configuration files, and diagnostic information that are available, and it is recommended for most cases. A light-support bundle contains only the essential logs, configuration files, and diagnostic information that are needed for basic troubleshooting, and it is recommended for cases where the bandwidth is limited or the issue is not complex3. A light-support bundle is smaller in size than a full-support bundle, and it can be generated faster and transferred easier. A light-support bundle from all nodes includes the information from the primary nodes, the replica nodes, and the remote collectors, and it can help VMware support to identify the cause of the erratic behavior and the role of the remote collectors. A full-support bundle from the primary nodes only (option A) or a light-support bundle from the primary nodes only (option B) are not the best choices, as they do not include the information from the replica nodes and the remote collectors, which may be relevant for the issue. A full-support bundle from all nodes (option C) is not the best choice, as it is larger in size than a light-support bundle, and it may exceed the bandwidth constraints or take longer to generate and transfer. References:
