VMware Exam 5V0-35.21 Topic 7 Question 24 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 5V0-35.21 exam

Question #: 24
Topic #: 7

An administrator is working on reclamation options in a virtualization environment and has discovered that a Powered-Off VM (SRV-A) is showing as a candidate for reclamation.

The administrator researched SRV-A and finds out that the server is only used and powered-on the first three days of a month. The administrator needs to prevent this server as a candidate for reclamation.

Which action, if any, should the administrator take to meet this goal?

AUnreqister SRV-A from vCenter when it was powered-off, and reqister before power-on.

BDelete SRV-A and virtual disks from vCenter.

CNo action is needed. It should remain as an SRV-A in vCenter.

DExclude SRV-A from reclamation.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The administrator can use the Reclaim feature in vRealize Operations Manager to identify and reclaim resources from underutilized or powered-off VMs. However, some VMs may have a valid reason to be powered-off or idle for a long period of time, such as SRV-A in this case. To prevent such VMs from being shown as candidates for reclamation, the administrator can exclude them from the Reclaim action.This can be done by selecting the VMs in the Reclaim screen and clicking the Exclude VM(s) button1.Alternatively, the administrator can also customize the Reclamation Settings to adjust the criteria for identifying powered-off, idle, snapshot, and orphaned disk VMs2.References:1:Run a Reclaim Action2:Reclamation Settings

Agreed, that seems like the best option to prevent it from being mistakenly reclaimed.

I think the administrator should exclude SRV-A from reclamation.
