01. The CISO of an engineering contractor wants VCF Operations to score ESX hosts, VMs and distributed port groups against VMware's own hardening guidance for vSphere, and to warn when an object drifts from it. No industry regulation is in scope for this request.
What should the administrator use?
a) A regulatory benchmark for PCI DSS
b) The VMware SDDC benchmark for the vSphere Security Configuration Guide
c) A custom benchmark made of user-defined alert definitions
d) Diagnostic Findings for the vCenter instance and its hosts
02. An engineer at a freight railway has imported the vSphere content pack into VCF Operations for logs and is working in its own user interface. She wants a version of one of its dashboards with an extra widget for the yard-signaling cluster, while the original dashboard stays exactly as the content pack published it.
Which two actions should she take?
(Choose two.)
a) Clone the content pack dashboard into the custom dashboards space
b) Edit the content pack dashboard directly
c) Add the widget to a dashboard copy she owns
d) Re-import the content pack once its dashboard is changed
e) Move the dashboard into Shared Dashboards
03. The storage engineers at a retail chain keep a VCF Operations dashboard of vSAN capacity and latency. Every member of the Storage-Ops user group must be able to sign in to VCF Operations and change the dashboard's widgets themselves, without asking the dashboard owner each time.
Which two actions should the dashboard owner take?
(Choose two.)
a) Share the dashboard with the Storage-Ops user group in VCF Operations
b) Select Allow Editing when sharing the dashboard with Storage-Ops
c) Transfer dashboard ownership to Storage-Ops
d) Generate a shareable dashboard URL and distribute it to Storage-Ops
e) Clone the dashboard for each group member
04. At a regional hospital, ESX hosts occasionally write one specific storage message to their syslog stream a few minutes before a datastore becomes unavailable. VCF Operations 9.0 is integrated with VCF Operations for logs. The message never surfaces as a vCenter event, and no collected metric changes before the outage. The team wants a VCF Operations alert, with its recommendations, raised on the host object whenever the message is logged.
How should the alert definition be built?
a) With a metric symptom on the host that watches storage device latency
b) With a log-based condition that matches the message on the host
c) With a message event symptom raised from vCenter adapter events for the host
d) With a property symptom on the host's storage adapter
05. A managed-services provider prices tenant VMs with VCF Operations. It assigns a pricing card named Standard to its vCenter instance. That vCenter instance manages three clusters, and the provider assigns a second card, named Premium, to only one of them, the GPU cluster. No other cards are assigned.
Which statements describe how the VM prices are calculated?
(Choose two.)
a) GPU cluster VMs are charged the sum of the rates on both cards
b) VMs in the two clusters that have no card of their own are priced from the Standard card on the vCenter instance
c) GPU cluster VMs are priced from the Premium card
d) GPU cluster VMs are priced from the Standard card, because the vCenter instance sits above the cluster
e) VMs in the other two clusters stay unpriced until each gets its own card
06. At an insurance company, VCF Operations users sign in with Active Directory accounts imported through an authentication source. A capacity planner signed in with her Active Directory account can generate the monthly host-utilization report from its template, but she cannot add a schedule so that the report runs automatically on the first day of each month.
What should be done so that the schedule can be created?
a) Assign her Active Directory account the vCenter Administrator role
b) Grant her account permission to edit the report template
c) Run the report template once on demand before adding the schedule
d) Use an account created in VCF Operations
07. The on-call team at an online retailer receives email notifications from VCF Operations for alerts that cancel on their own within a few minutes. The team wants no email for an alert that clears within 10 minutes of being generated, while alerts that persist past that point must still be emailed.
Which change meets this requirement?
a) Set Notify again on the email notification rule to 10 minutes
b) Set Delay to notify on the notification rule to 10 minutes
c) Set Max Notifications on the notification rule to 1
d) Deactivate those alert definitions in the policy for the affected objects
08. A regional credit union has deployed VVF 9.0 with vCenter, VCF Operations and the VCF Operations collector. VCF Operations already shows CPU, memory and capacity metrics and configuration properties for every host and VM. When an administrator opens log analysis in VCF Operations to investigate a VM crash, no log events are available for any object.
What must the administrator do so that log data can be explored in VCF Operations?
a) Deploy the VCF Operations for logs appliance, because VCF Operations keeps no log store of its own
b) Add a VCF Operations data node so the cluster gains storage for log events
c) Deploy VCF Operations orchestrator to gather logs from the hosts and VMs
d) Raise the statistics level of the vCenter instance to its highest setting
09. VCF Operations was deployed at a manufacturing firm last week, and since then only the vCenter integration has been configured. An administrator now wants the on-call team emailed whenever a critical alert is raised on the production clusters, and plans to create a notification rule for it.
What must be in place before the administrator can create the notification rule?
a) On-call addresses in the alert definitions' recommendations
b) A rule saved now, with an outbound instance attached to it afterward
c) A configured and running Standard Email outbound plug-in instance
d) SMTP mail settings on the vCenter instance
10. An operations engineer at a shipping company builds a VCF Operations dashboard with one widget that lists every cluster and a chart widget that plots CPU demand. The chart always shows the single cluster chosen in its own configuration. Operators want the chart to plot whichever cluster they select in the list.
What should the engineer configure?
a) Self provider on the chart, with every cluster selected in it
b) A widget interaction from the cluster list to the chart
c) Dashboard navigation from the cluster list to a second dashboard
d) The dashboard as Dashboards Home for operators
