TASK 9
As the Cloud Administrator. you have been tasked to troubleshoot and fix errors of an existing cloud template. You must ensure:
1. VM resource uses storage tag:
* Key: storage. Value: gold
2. Network resource uses network tag:
* Key: net
* Value: nsx-routed
3. Configure NSX Network Type: routed
4. A virtual machine can be successfully deployed from the cloud template using the information provided.
NOTE: One or more of the tasks above may take some time to complete For expediency, it is recommended that once the task has started successfully that you continue with the exam and return later to confirm the task has been completed successfully. There are no dependencies between any_questions and therefore the successful completion of this question does no! impact the ability to attempt any_others_guestion in this exam.
NOTE: Not all available tags will appear on the tag selection drop-down when you're editing the cloud template.
Information required to complete the tasks:
* vRealize Automation URL: vr-aulomation.oorp.local
* Cloud Admin Username: vcapadmin@corp.local
* Cloud Admin Password: VMware1!
* Project Name: Earth
* Cloud Template name: Earth-TS-Fix
* Deployment name: Earth-Fixed
* Hostname: earth-fixed
NOTE: Do not create any new profit or tags.
To troubleshoot and fix the errors in the existing cloud template and ensure the requirements are met, you can follow these steps:
Ensure VM Resource Uses Storage Tag:
Edit the cloud template named Earth-TS-Fix.
Locate the VM resource definition.
Add or update the storage tag to use the key storage with the value gold:
tags:
- key: storage
value: gold
Ensure Network Resource Uses Network Tag:
Within the same cloud template, find the network resource definition.
Add or update the network tag to use the key net with the value nsx-routed:
tags:
- key: net
value: nsx-routed
Configure NSX Network Type: Routed:
Still in the cloud template, ensure the network profile is set to a routed network type by specifying the appropriate network profile that has been pre-configured with the routed type.
networks:
- network: '${resource.Cloud_NSX_Network_1.id}'
networkType: routed
Deploy Virtual Machine from the Cloud Template:
Save the changes to the cloud template.
Initiate a deployment using the Earth-Fixed deployment name and verify that the virtual machine deploys successfully with the specified hostname earth-fixed.
Monitor the deployment process and ensure that the VM and network resources are correctly tagged and that the network is configured as routed.
TASK 7
The Saturn Project team has been tasked to develop a Virtual Machine Snapshot workflow. However, when completing initial testing, the workflow does not work. As the Cloud Administrator. you have been tasked with the following:
1. Ensure that the vCenter Server is included in the vRO inventory.
2. Review, troubleshoot and resolve any issues in the workflow.
3. Make sure the workflow runs successfully.
4. Make sure all snapshots created by the workflow follow the required naming standard.
Information required to complete the task:
* vRealize Automation URL. vr-automation.cofp.local
* Cloud Admin Username: vcapadmin@corp.local
* Cloud Admin Password: VMware1!
* vCenter Connection properties:
* vRealize Orchestrator Workflow: Create a Salurn Snapshot
o Workflow Details:
o Inputs:
* vm [VC:VirtualMachine]
* name [string)
o Outputs:
* snapshot (VC:VirtualMachineSnapshot]
* Workflow Run Details:
o Target Virtual Machine: core-A
o Name: q7
* Snapshot naming standard: [name]-|VM Name]-Saturn-snapshot
To address the tasks for the Saturn Project regarding the Virtual Machine Snapshot workflow, follow these steps:
Task 1: Ensure vCenter Server is in vRO Inventory
Log in to the vRealize Orchestrator Client as an administrator.
Navigate toLibrary > Workflowsand search for workflows related to vCenter configuration.
Task 2: Troubleshoot and Resolve Workflow Issues
Review the workflow namedCreate a Saturn Snapshotfor any errors or misconfigurations.
Ensure that all inputs and outputs are correctly defined and that the workflow logic is accurate.
Check the vRO logs for any errors related to the workflow execution.
Task 3: Ensure Workflow Runs Successfully
After resolving any issues, run the workflow with the target virtual machinecore-Aand the nameq7.
Verify that the workflow completes successfully and that the snapshot is created.
Task 4: Adhere to Naming Standard
Modify the workflow to ensure that the naming standard for snapshots follows the format:[name]-[VM Name]-Saturn-snapshot.
This can be done by adding a scriptable task in the workflow that constructs the snapshot name using the provided inputs and the naming standard.
Use the following code snippet in the scriptable task to set the snapshot name:
var snapshotName = name + '-' + vm.name + '-Saturn-snapshot';
// Use snapshotName variable when creating the snapshot
By following these steps, you should be able to ensure the vCenter Server is included in the vRO inventory, troubleshoot and resolve any issues with the workflow, run the workflow successfully, and adhere to the required snapshot naming standard.
TASK 10
As the Cloud Administrator you have been tasked to troubleshoot and resolve the following issues raised by the developers on the Uranus Project:
* Developers have reported that Deployments are not getting deleted as per the company lease policy.
* The Uranus Project Team Leader is responsible for approving all snapshot create requests for deployments based only on the Uranus Server blueprint, however, they have received no requests so far.
* Developers have reported that they do not have the option to revert to existing snapshots for vSphere deployments.
Once you have completed your changes, deploy the Uranus Server Catalog Item to verify all the issues have been resolved.
NOTE: One or more of the tasks above may take some time to complete. For expediency, it is recommended that once the task has started successfully that you continue with the exam and return later to confirm the task has been completed successfully. There are no dependencies between any questions and therefore the successful completion of this question does not impact the ability to attempt any other question in this exam.
Information required to complete the tasks:
General Information;
* vRealize Automation FQDN: vr-aulomation.corp.local
* Cloud Administrator Username: vcapadmin@corp. local
* Cloud Administrator Password: VMware1!

* Lease Policy maximum lease period: 30 days
* Lease Policy maximum total lease period: 30 days
* Lease Policy grace period: 0 days
* Lease Policy scope: Uranus Project
* Day 2 Action Policy name: Uranus - Day 2 Actions Policy
