VMware Horizon 8 Specialist — Question 30

Due to multiple hardware failures, several virtual machines were corrupted and are being restored from a recent backup. One of the corrupted virtual machines was the primary replica node of a large production vRealize Operations Manager cluster.
How should the system administrator resolve this availability issue within vRealize Operations Manager?

Answer options

• A. Remove the corrupted node, and then disable and re-enable vRealize Operations Manager High Availability to reassign the primary replica role to another existing node in the cluster.
• B. Deploy a new vRealize Operations Manager node, and then add it to the existing cluster.
• C. Clone an existing primary vRealize Operations Manager node, and then add it into the vRealize Operations Manager cluster.
• D. Ask the backup administrator to restore the corrupted primary replica node, and then refresh the nodes from the vRealize Operations Manager administrator interface.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because removing the corrupted node and re-enabling High Availability will allow the system to automatically assign the primary replica role to another healthy node, thereby restoring cluster functionality. Options B and C do not directly address the issue of the corrupted primary replica node, and D may not effectively resolve the availability problem as it relies on the restoration process without addressing the role reassignment.
