VMware Horizon 8 Specialist — Question 7

An administrator has been tasked with configuring vRealize Operations cost drivers to assign a different cost per GB for different storage tiers.
Which steps should the administrator complete to meet this objective?

Answer options

• A. Use a vSphere tag category, assign different tag values for that category to the different tiers in the vSphere client, and then assign different costs per GB for each tag value.
• B. Create a custom group in vRealize Operations for each of the storage tiers, and then assign a cost per GB to each custom group.
• C. Assign different costs per GB to each of the storage types discovered by vRealize Operations.
• D. Use a vRealize Operations tag with different tag values manually configured for each datastore or datastore cluster object on the Inventory page, and then assign a cost per GB for each tag value.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, involves using specific tags for each datastore or datastore cluster, allowing for tailored cost assignments based on those tags. Option A incorrectly suggests categorizing tags at a higher level rather than at the datastore level, while B focuses on custom groups that don't allow for the granularity needed for different tiers. Option C fails to address the need for differentiated costs based on tags, as it suggests a blanket assignment across all storage types.
