VMware vRealize Operations Manager — Question 16

Why would a virtual machine with an expired lease remain in the vRealize Automation inventory?

Answer options

• A. The resource reservation has an archival period configured.
• B. The user is missing the Delete Resource Content action in the entitlement.
• C. The virtual machine has a reclamation action against it.
• D. The virtual machine blueprint has an archival period configured.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because an archival period for resource reservations allows virtual machines to remain in inventory even after their lease has expired. Options B, C, and D do not explain why the virtual machine would still be present in the inventory, as they pertain to user permissions and other actions that do not influence the visibility of expired lease VMs.
