According to the vRealize Operations Cloud Getting Started guide1, the initial step that the administrator must take to use vRealize Operations Cloud to monitor an on-premises deployment is to deploy a Cloud Proxy on-premises, and pair it with vRealize Operations Cloud. A Cloud Proxy is a virtual appliance that acts as a bridge between the on-premises vCenter instance and the vRealize Operations Cloud instance. It collects data from the vCenter instance and sends it securely to the vRealize Operations Cloud instance. It also enables actions and remote console access from the vRealize Operations Cloud instance to the on-premises vCenter instance.The guide provides the steps to download, deploy, and configure the Cloud Proxy using the vRealize Operations Cloud user interface1. The other options are not correct because:

Initiating a Cloud Proxy deployment on the cloud console, and pairing it with vRealize Operations Cloud is not a valid step, as there is no such option in the vRealize Operations Cloud user interface.The Cloud Proxy must be deployed on-premises, not on the cloud console1.

Opening firewall ports to vRealize Operations Cloud from the on-premises vCenter, and then adding the on-premises deployment is not a sufficient step, as it does not establish a secure and reliable connection between the on-premises vCenter instance and the vRealize Operations Cloud instance.The Cloud Proxy is required to facilitate the data collection and communication between the two instances1.

Deploying a vRealize Operations node on-premises, and pairing it with vRealize Operations Cloud is not a recommended step, as it will introduce additional complexity and overhead in managing the on-premises vRealize Operations node.The Cloud Proxy is a lightweight and easy-to-deploy appliance that does not require any additional licenses or configuration1.References:1: vRealize Operations Cloud Getting Started guide, pages 9-13.

These two prerequisites are required for integrating vRealize Operations Cloud and vRealize Log Insight Cloud to manage on-premises vSphere environments. vRealize Operations Cloud and vRealize Log Insight Cloud must be enabled in the same organizations, as this is a requirement for the integration to work properly. Organizations are logical entities that group users, projects, and resources in VMware Cloud Services. Users can belong to multiple organizations, but they can only access one organization at a time. To integrate vRealize Operations Cloud and vRealize Log Insight Cloud, users must select the same organization in both services. Deploying a cloud proxy, and then configuring vCenter and ESXi hosts syslog to forward logs to the cloud proxy is another prerequisite for the integration. A cloud proxy is a virtual appliance that collects data from on-premises sources and sends it securely to vRealize Operations Cloud and vRealize Log Insight Cloud. A cloud proxy is required to monitor on-premises vSphere environments, as it acts as a bridge between the on-premises and cloud services. Deploying the vRealize Operations Cloud Content pack, and configuring the adapter to connect to the on-premises vCenter is not a valid option, as this is not a prerequisite for the integration, but a step that can be performed after the integration is established. The vRealize Operations Cloud Content pack is a collection of dashboards, alerts, and reports that provide insights into the vRealize Operations Cloud environment. The adapter is a component that collects data from a specific source, such as vCenter, and sends it to vRealize Operations Cloud. vRealize Operations Cloud and vRealize Log Insight Cloud must be enabled in separate organizations is not a feasible option, as this is the opposite of what is required for the integration. Enabling the services in separate organizations would prevent the users from accessing both services at the same time, and would break the integration. Deploying an on-premises vRealize Log Insight instance, and configuring the integration directly with vRealize Operations Cloud is not a possible option, as this is not supported by the services. vRealize Log Insight Cloud is a cloud-based log analytics service that cannot be integrated with an on-premises vRealize Log Insight instance. vRealize Operations Cloud can only be integrated with vRealize Log Insight Cloud, not with an on-premises vRealize Log Insight instance.References:Integrating vRealize Log Insight and vRealize Operations, section ''Integrating vRealize Log Insight and vRealize Operations''.Cloud Proxy Overview, section ''Cloud Proxy Overview''.vRealize Operations Manager User Guide, section ''Create and Configure Dashboards''.

To add a custom metric configuration file to a scoreboard widget in a dashboard, the correct process is to create a metric file in XML format, set the scoreboard widget Self Provider to Off, and create a widget interaction with a provider widget. A custom metric configuration file is a file that defines the metrics that the scoreboard widget displays for different object types. The file must be in XML format and follow a specific schema. The file must be uploaded to the vRealize Operations server and selected in the Metric Configuration option of the scoreboard widget. The Self Provider option determines whether the widget shows metrics of the objects selected during editing of the widget or selected on another widget. When the Self Provider option is set to Off, the widget shows metrics of the objects selected on another widget. The widget interaction is a mechanism that allows widgets to communicate with each other and pass data. A provider widget is a widget that provides data to another widget. A receiving widget is a widget that receives data from another widget. To create a widget interaction, the administrator must edit the dashboard and select the provider widget and the receiving widget, and then configure the interaction type and the data to pass. By creating a widget interaction with a provider widget, the administrator can enable the scoreboard widget to display the custom metrics for the objects selected on the provider widget.References:How the Scoreboard Widget and Configuration Options Work;Question on How to Scoreboard Dashboard - Metric Configuration XML - Max & Avg Metric Values;Dashboard widget can set default metric key

The function that is unavailable in the vRealize Operations Admin UI is viewing alerts, symptoms, and policies. The Admin UI is a separate interface from the Product UI that provides access to selected maintenance functions beyond what the Product UI supports.The Admin UI is used for platform administration tasks, such as upgrading vRealize Operations, enabling or disabling High Availability (HA), uploading and installing vRealize Operations PAK files, taking vRealize Operations Online/Offline, and managing certificates, passwords, and users1. The Admin UI does not provide access to the operational functions, such as viewing alerts, symptoms, and policies, which are available in the Product UI.The Product UI is used for monitoring and managing the objects, metrics, alerts, dashboards, reports, and policies in vRealize Operations2.

vRealize Operations is a self-driving IT operations management platform that delivers continuous performance optimization, efficient capacity and cost management, and intelligent remediation for the VMware SDDC and hybrid cloud environments1. The use cases for vRealize Operations are aligned with these three key outcomes, as follows:

Option B is a valid use case, as Intelligent Remediation enables vRealize Operations to proactively detect and resolve issues across applications, infrastructure, and cloud services.It provides full-stack visibility, integrated compliance, and automated workflows for faster troubleshooting and remediation2.

Option D is also a valid use case, as Efficient Capacity and Cost Management enables vRealize Operations to optimize resource utilization, reduce costs, and plan for future demand.It provides real-time capacity analytics, what-if scenarios, cost transparency, and budget planning3.

Option E is also a valid use case, as Continuous Performance Optimization enables vRealize Operations to balance and optimize performance and efficiency across the SDDC and hybrid cloud. It provides automated workload placement, resource reclamation, and proactive configuration management.

Option A is not a valid use case, as Implement Zero Trust is not a core outcome of vRealize Operations. Zero Trust is a security model that requires strict verification of identity and access for every request and transaction, regardless of the location or device. While vRealize Operations can help monitor and enforce compliance policies, it is not designed to implement Zero Trust on its own.

Option C is not a valid use case, as Self-Service Catalog is not a core outcome of vRealize Operations. Self-Service Catalog is a feature of VMware vRealize Automation, which is a cloud automation platform that allows users to request and provision IT services from a catalog of predefined items. vRealize Operations can integrate with vRealize Automation to provide visibility and control over the cloud resources, but it does not provide the catalog functionality itself.

Option F is not a valid use case, as Infrastructure Pipelining is not a core outcome of vRealize Operations. Infrastructure Pipelining is a concept of applying DevOps principles and practices to the provisioning and management of infrastructure resources. It involves using code, automation, and continuous integration and delivery tools to streamline and standardize the infrastructure lifecycle. vRealize Operations can support Infrastructure Pipelining by providing insights and recommendations for the infrastructure performance and capacity, but it does not provide the pipelining functionality itself.

Management packs in VMware vRealize Operations provide capability for expanding the monitoring, troubleshooting, and remediation functionality of SDDC and third party solutions. Administrators can install and configure management packs in a vRealize Operations instance.You can download Management Packs and End Point Operations Plug-Ins for vRealize Operations from VMware Marketplace1.For detailed information on installing and configuring the Management Pack, refer to the related user guide2.References:1:Management Packs for vRealize Operations Documentation2:List of Management Packs

The option within the What-If Analysis feature that should be used to obtain the information is Workload Planning: Traditional. This option allows the administrator to define scenarios that can potentially add or remove workloads to or from actual data centers or custom data centers.vRealize Operations models the scenario and calculates whether the desired workload can fit in the targeted data center or custom data center, and how it affects the capacity and performance of the cluster1.The administrator can also specify the profile of the workload, the start and end date of the scenario, and the annual projected growth of the workload2.

The other options are not correct, because they do not match the use case of adding virtual machines to a non-hyperconverged cluster.Cluster Planning: Traditional allows the administrator to define scenarios that can potentially add or remove hosts to or from clusters, and evaluate the impact on the cluster capacity and performance3. Virtual Machine Planning: Traditional allows the administrator to define scenarios that can potentially add or remove virtual machines to or from hosts, and evaluate the impact on the host capacity and performance. Infrastructure Planning: Traditional allows the administrator to define scenarios that can potentially add or remove infrastructure components, such as datastores, networks, or adapters, and evaluate the impact on the infrastructure capacity and performance.

To apply a super metric to other vRealize Operations instances, you need to export the super metric from the source instance and import it to the destination instance. Exporting a super metric creates a JSON file that contains the super metric definition and attributes. Importing a super metric allows you to upload the JSON file and add the super metric to the destination instance. You can also choose to overwrite or skip an existing super metric with the same name. Adding or updating a super metric are not the correct steps, as they are used to create or modify a super metric within the same instance.References:Exporting and Importing a Super Metric

The type of node that should be deployed to monitor a remote datacenter using an existing vRealize Operations Manager cluster is a Remote Collector node. A Remote Collector node is a node that is deployed in a remote datacenter location across a firewall, and collects data from the remote objects without performing analysis or storing data.A Remote Collector node can reduce the bandwidth consumption and the load on the vRealize Operations analytics cluster, and can also navigate firewalls and interface with remote data sources12.A Remote Collector node can be deployed on a different operating system than the rest of the cluster, and can support a round-trip time (RTT) of up to 200 ms3.

The other options are not correct, because they are not suitable for monitoring a remote datacenter with a high RTT. A Replica node is a node that is converted from a Data node to provide high availability (HA) or continuous availability (CA) for the vRealize Operations cluster.A Replica node is a copy of the Primary node, and must be deployed in the same datacenter as the Primary node1. A Data node is a node that performs data collection and analysis for the vRealize Operations cluster, and can be added to scale out the cluster capacity and performance.A Data node must be deployed in the same datacenter as the Primary node, and can support a RTT of up to 10 ms1. A Witness node is a node that is required for continuous availability (CA) of the vRealize Operations cluster, and acts as a decision maker in case of a network partition between two fault domains.A Witness node must be deployed in a third datacenter that is separate from the two fault domains, and can support a RTT of up to 100 ms1.
