An administrator is planning the size of a new vRealize Operations Manager (vROps) platform and needs to ensure that the correct attributes needed for vROps sizing tool in basic mode are used. Which…

Question

Options

• ANumber of virtual machine disks
• BNumber of vSwitches
• CNumber of clusters
• DNumber of port groups

• A
  7% (4)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  89% (48)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Number of clusters is required in the vROps Sizing Tool's basic mode because clusters represent the fundamental organizational unit vROps uses to collect and analyze performance data - cluster count directly drives how many analytics nodes and resources the platform needs to size correctly. The other required basic-mode inputs are number of VMs and number of hosts, not the granular network or storage details offered in the distractors.

Option A (VM disks) is wrong because disk count is a granular storage detail used in advanced sizing mode, not basic mode. Option B (vSwitches) is wrong because virtual switch topology is a network detail irrelevant to basic vROps capacity planning. Option D (port groups) is similarly wrong - port group count affects network inventory depth, not the core compute/analytics sizing that basic mode targets.

Memory tip: Think "basic = big buckets" - basic mode only needs the high-level infrastructure counts (VMs, hosts, clusters), not granular networking or storage objects. If it sounds like a network admin metric (vSwitches, port groups), it's not a basic-mode vROps sizing input.
