Data nodes are the type of node in a vRealize Operations (vROps) design that allow an administrator to scale out vROps to monitor very large environments. Data nodes are additional nodes that have all the vROps services installed, such as UI, Controller, Analytics, Collector, and Persistence. Data nodes perform data collection and analysis, and increase the capacity and performance of the vROps cluster. Data nodes can be added or removed as needed to adjust to the changing workload and environment size. Remote collectors are not a type of node in a vROps design, but a separate component that can be deployed to collect data from remote sources and send it to the vROps cluster. Remote collectors do not store data or perform analysis, and do not increase the capacity or performance of the vROps cluster. Replica Primary nodes and Primary nodes are not the type of node that allow an administrator to scale out vROps to monitor very large environments, but the type of node that provide high availability and continuous availability for the vROps cluster. Replica Primary nodes and Primary nodes contain critical services that cannot be replicated across all cluster nodes, such as Global xDB, NTP server, and GemFire locator. Replica Primary nodes and Primary nodes do not perform data collection and analysis, and do not increase the capacity or performance of the vROps cluster. References: About vRealize Operations Cluster Nodes, section “About vRealize Operations Cluster Nodes”. vRealize Operations Manager User Guide, section “Create and Configure Dashboards”.

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 Action 2: Reclamation Settings

According to the vRealize Operations Cluster Management guide1, the Association Member Status indicates the state of the association between the remote collector nodes and the master node in a multisite deployment. The valid statuses are:

• Active: The remote collector node is connected to the master node and is sending data.
• Inactive: The remote collector node is not connected to the master node and is not sending data.
• Unreachable: The master node cannot reach the remote collector node due to network issues or node failure.

The Asymmetric status is not a valid status for the Association Member Status. It is a valid status for the Cluster Status, which indicates the state of the cluster nodes in a single site deployment. The Asymmetric status means that the cluster nodes are not in sync and have different configurations or versions1. References: 1: vRealize Operations Cluster Management guide, pages 3-4.
