VMware 2V0-32.22 Exam - Topic 5 Question 21 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 2V0-32.22 exam
Question #: 21
Topic #: 5
[All 2V0-32.22 Questions]

Forty days ago, an administrator provisioned a Virtual Machine (vm-01) in preparation for a new project. The project has now been delayed due to budgetary constraints. As part of the monthly service management checks, a second administrator executes the reclaim action on all idle virtual machines and vm-01 is listed. The second administrator accidentally reclaims all idle virtual machines including vm-01.

What action can the administrator complete to prevent this scenario from happening again?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Questions no: 3 Verified Answer = D Comprehensive Detailed Explanation with all VMware Reference = To prevent the accidental reclamation of recently provisioned VMs, the administrator should increase the default value of the 'Exclude VM provisioned in the last x days' setting. This setting determines the period during which newly provisioned VMs are excluded from reclamation analysis. By increasing this value, the administrator can ensure that VMs provisioned for new projects are not inadvertently reclaimed .

Here's why the other options are not the best solution:

A . Create a dynamic group with membership based on vSphere tags so that all new virtual machines are included and then exclude the entire group from reclaim analysis. While this approach can be effective, it requires additional configuration and management of dynamic groups and vSphere tags. Increasing the 'Exclude VM provisioned in the last x days' setting is a simpler and more direct solution.

B . Disable Capacity reclamation on the policy applied to new virtual machines. Disabling capacity reclamation entirely would prevent vRealize Operations from identifying and reclaiming any idle resources on those VMs, which may not be desirable.

C . Create a new policy that disables the capacity reclamation on the policy and apply the policy to the parent object hosting new virtual machines. Similar to option B, this would disable capacity reclamation for all VMs under the parent object, which may be too broad and prevent the reclamation of other idle resources.

Haha, the admin must have been sweating when they realized they reclaimed the wrong VM! Option B is the way to go.

Wow, that's a tough situation. I'd go with option D to give the VMs a bit more time before they get reclaimed.

Option C seems like the best choice to prevent this scenario from happening again.

Increasing the exclusion days could help, but I’m not confident if that’s the best long-term solution. It seems like a temporary fix.

I practiced a similar question about policies and exclusions, and I feel like option C might be the right approach to ensure new VMs are protected.

I think option B sounds familiar; disabling capacity reclamation could prevent any accidental reclaiming, but I wonder if it affects all VMs.

I remember discussing dynamic groups in class, but I'm not sure if they would automatically exclude vm-01 from reclamation.

I'm pretty confident that option A is the way to go. Creating a dynamic group based on tags is a really elegant solution that will ensure all new VMs are automatically excluded from the reclaim process. Seems like the most robust and future-proof approach to me.

Option D is definitely the easiest, but I'm not sure if it's the best long-term solution. What if you have a lot of VMs that need to be excluded? Seems like it could get unwieldy. Maybe option C is the way to go, to keep things more organized.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option A. Creating a dynamic group based on vSphere tags seems like a good way to ensure all new VMs are excluded from the reclaim analysis, without having to manually manage it.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between options B and C. They both seem to be disabling the capacity reclamation, but one is doing it at the policy level and the other at the parent object level. Not sure which one would be the better approach.

I think option D is the way to go here. Increasing the default value for the Exclude VM provisioned in the last x days setting seems like the simplest and most straightforward solution.
