01. Users report that an application VM became slow this morning, but no alert has triggered on it. An operator searches for the VM on the Troubleshooting Workbench page and starts a session with the VM in context.
What does the Workbench present on its Potential Evidence tab?
a) Events, property changes and anomalous metrics within the selected scope and time range
b) Only the active alerts on the VM with their recommendations
c) The VM's log messages grouped into event types
d) Rightsizing recommendations for the VM's vCPU and memory
02. Six months ago an administrator defined a Business Application manually, dragging the web VMs onto a Web tier. The web team has since deployed two more web VMs, but the Business Application still shows only the original members.
What explains this, and what is the remedy?
a) Membership refreshes only at the nightly collection; wait for the next refresh cycle
b) Tiers of a manually defined Business Application are static; edit it and add the two VMs to the Web tier
c) Business Criticality is still Medium; new members join only Critical applications
d) The Web tier needs dynamic rules; add them to the tier's settings
03. An administrator is adding a vCenter account for a vCenter instance on an isolated network. Only one cloud proxy, cp-secure-01, has a network path to that vCenter; the default collector group contains proxies on the general management network.
What is the effect of selecting cp-secure-01, rather than the default collector group, as the account's collector?
a) Collection for this account is routed only through cp-secure-01
b) The account can use any collector, trying cp-secure-01 first
c) The account fails over to the default group if cp-secure-01 is down
d) Analytics nodes poll vCenter directly, with cp-secure-01 as backup
04. Log ingestion into VCF Operations for logs has grown after several workload domains began forwarding events, and the team decides to scale the cluster out rather than enlarge its existing nodes. In Fleet Management > Lifecycle the administrator starts Add Nodes for the VCF Operations for logs component.
What must the administrator supply on the Components pane?
a) FQDN and IP details for one operations-logs worker node per workload domain
b) A cloud proxy node with a Deployment type to receive the forwarded logs
c) FQDN and IP details for at least two operations-logs worker nodes
d) A replica node, with a certificate change on the logs cluster
05. During an outage, an engineer reset the NSX Manager admin password directly on NSX. An operator now needs to remediate that account in VCF Operations. The operator's role holds Fleet Management: Passwords: View, and a certificate replacement workflow is currently running for the same VCF domain.
What must change before the remediation can proceed?
a) Keep Passwords: View on the role and rotate the NSX password instead
b) Add Passwords: Manage to the role and remediate while the certificate workflow runs
c) Keep Passwords: View on the role and wait for the certificate workflow to finish
d) Add Passwords: Manage to the role and wait for the certificate workflow to finish
06. Ahead of a hardware refresh, an administrator uses the Exclusion tab of the Business Intent window to exclude two clusters in a data center by their vCenter tag. A week later, a manager asks why those clusters no longer appear when the team reviews workload placement for that data center.
What is the effect of excluding the clusters?
a) They stay on the Workload Placement page but are shown there as read-only placement targets
b) They are removed from the Workload Placement page and from its placement calculations
c) They are hidden from the page but still counted as destinations for moves
d) Their VMs are evacuated to other clusters, and then the clusters are hidden
07. In a VCF private cloud, the reclamation criteria list powered-off VMs once they have been powered off for 30 days. VM-A was powered off 45 days ago and has stayed off. VM-B was powered off 25 days ago, powered on for one day to test a patch, and has now been off again for 12 days.
Which statement describes what the Reclaim page shows for these VMs?
a) Only VM-A is listed under Powered Off VMs, with only its snapshot storage reclaimable
b) Both are listed under Powered Off VMs, with their off periods added together past 30 days
c) Only VM-A is listed under Powered Off VMs, with its total used storage reclaimable
d) Neither is listed until each also meets the VM Idleness Criteria
08. Broadcom support has asked for log bundles from seven components (VCF Operations, SDDC Manager, NSX, vCenter and three ESX hosts). The administrator selects all seven in Log Assist, and all are served by one unified collector. The security team asks whether an outbound FTP client must be allowed for the upload.
What will happen?
a) Bundles run one at a time and upload through the collector's SFTP service
b) All seven run at once, and the upload goes through an external FTP client
c) The selection is refused above five, and an external FTP client must upload
d) Five run at once, two queue, and no FTP client is used
09. Operational Actions are activated on the vCenter cloud account. An administrator selects six undersized VMs on the Rightsize page and clicks RESIZE VM(S). The VMs host a customer-facing order service that runs during business hours.
What must the administrator account for before the resize can be submitted?
a) Each VM must first be powered off with POWER OFF from the Reclaim page
b) The VMs restart for the new size, and interruption must be acknowledged
c) The resize applies without a restart as long as CPU and memory hot-add are on
d) A snapshot of each VM must be taken from the Snapshots category beforehand
10. The Application Owners group must be able to create their own dashboards, views, reports and custom groups in VCF Operations. They must not be able to change global settings, accounts or other administrative configuration.
Which access assignment meets this requirement?
a) Assign the predefined PowerUser role to the group
b) Assign the predefined ReadOnly role to the group
c) Assign the predefined ContentAdmin role to the Application Owners group
d) Assign the GeneralUser-1 template role unchanged
