VMware vRealize Network Insight — Question 4

A tenant administrator would like to initiate a reclamation request for underutilized virtual machines in their vRealize Automation environment. The tenant administrator selects the candidate deployment and sends a reclamation request to the owners of the virtual machines.
What happens if the virtual machine owners do not respond to the reclamation request in a timely manner?

Answer options

• A. The virtual machine is immediately expired and powered off.
• B. The virtual machine gets a new lease as determined by the administrator.
• C. The virtual machine continues to run and expires per the lease terms defined in the blueprint.
• D. The virtual machine is immediately expired and deleted.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

If the virtual machine owners fail to respond to the reclamation request, the correct outcome is that the virtual machine receives a new lease as determined by the administrator. This ensures that the virtual machine remains available for use while allowing the administrator to manage resources effectively. The other options are incorrect because they suggest immediate actions that do not align with the process of lease management in vRealize Automation.
