To add an additional data node to the existing vRealize Operations cluster, you need to deploy a new data node from the Administration Ul. A data node is a node that collects, stores, processes, and analyzes data from your environment. You can expand an existing installation to add a data node by following these steps1:

• In a Web browser, navigate to the name or IP address of the node that will become the data node. The setup wizard appears, and you do not need to log in to vRealize Operations.
• Click Expand an Existing Installation.
• Click Next.
• Enter a name for the node (for example, Data-1).
• From the Node Type drop-down, select Data.
• Enter the FQDN or IP address of the primary node and click Validate.
• Select Accept this certificate and click Next.
• Verify the vRealize Operations administrator username of admin.
• Enter the vRealize Operations administrator password.
• Click Next, and click Finish.

The other options are not correct because they do not deploy a new data node from the Administration Ul. Option A is incorrect because cloning an existing data node is not supported and may cause data inconsistency. Option C is incorrect because deploying a new virtual appliance from an OVF file is not enough to add a data node to the cluster. You still need to configure the node type and join the cluster from the Administration Ul. Option D is incorrect because enabling High Availability in the Administration Ul does not add a data node to the cluster. It only creates a replica of the primary node for failover purposes. References: Expand an Existing Installation to Add a Data Node

To automate an action for an alert, you must enable it in the object’s associated policy. A policy defines the settings and rules that vRealize Operations applies to objects in your environment. You can activate actionable alerts in your policies by selecting the Automate option for the alert definition that is associated with the symptom, recommendation, and action that you want to automate. When an alert is triggered that is associated with the recommendation, it triggers the action without any user intervention. The other options are not correct because they do not enable the automation of the action. An object’s associated recommendation is a suggestion for resolving the problem indicated by the alert, but it does not activate the action. An object in the default policy is not specific enough to enable the automation of the action. An object’s associated symptom definition is a condition that indicates a potential problem, but it does not activate the action. References: Actions Supported for Automation, VMware vRealize Operations Actions

A metric configuration in vRealize Operations is a collection of metrics that you can apply to one or more widgets in a dashboard. A metric configuration allows you to customize the metrics that you want to display on the widgets, and also to define the color, label, unit, and aggregation type for each metric. You can create, edit, or delete metric configurations from the Metric Configuration page in the Administration menu1. A metric configuration is not the same as a metric group, which is a predefined set of metrics that you can select from the widget configuration panel2. A dashboard navigation is a feature that allows you to link one or more widgets or views in a dashboard to another dashboard, and pass the selected object as a filter to the destination dashboard. When a dashboard navigation is created, the destination widgets or views are filtered by the selected object from the source dashboard3. An alert can be created from the Alert list widget, which displays the alerts for the selected object or group of objects in a dashboard. You can create an alert by clicking the Add Alert icon on the widget toolbar, and then selecting the alert definition, the object, and the alert properties4. Dashboards can be added by installing management packs, which are extensions that provide additional monitoring and management capabilities for various solutions and platforms. However, dashboards can also be added by creating custom dashboards, importing dashboards from the VMware Marketplace, or cloning existing dashboards. References: 1: Manage Metric Configurations 2: Select Metrics for Widgets 3: Create Dashboard Navigation 4: Create an Alert from the Alert List Widget : [Create and Configure Dashboards]

According to the vRealize Operations User Guide1, Business Intent is a feature that allows the administrator to define the performance, efficiency, and consolidation goals for the clusters and hosts in the SDDC, and to specify the maximum amount of cluster resources to be reserved for burst capacity. Business Intent is applied to objects in vRealize Operations using vCenter Server tags, which are key:value labels that allow operators to add meta-data to vCenter Server objects. By tagging VMs, hosts, and/or clusters with specific tags, the administrator can create business-related placement constraints, such as VMs can only be placed on hosts/clusters with matching tags. For example, the tag OS: Linux can indicate a cluster or VM that is assigned to the category OS with a tag name of Linux. vRealize Operations then uses these tags to optimize the placement and balance of the workloads, and to perform automated remediation actions in the event of an issue. The other options are not correct because:

• Groups are not used to apply Business Intent to objects in vRealize Operations. Groups are collections of objects that share common characteristics, such as type, name, location, or relationship. Groups are used to organize objects for monitoring, analysis, alerting, or policy assignment, but not for workload placement or balance1.
• Policies are not used to apply Business Intent to objects in vRealize Operations. Policies are sets of configuration settings that define how vRealize Operations monitors and manages the objects in the SDDC. Policies are used to enable or disable alerts, metrics, properties, symptoms, recommendations, or actions for different types of objects, but not for workload placement or balance1.
• Roles are not used to apply Business Intent to objects in vRealize Operations. Roles are collections of permissions that define what actions a user can perform on the objects in the SDDC. Roles are used to control the access and visibility of the objects for different users, but not for workload placement or balance1. References: 1: vRealize Operations User Guide, pages 57-59, 62-63, 66-67, 70-71.
