Which type of node can function as a NTP server for the vRealize Operations cluster when the cluster is behaving normally, and there are no errors or issues in the existing cluster?

The correct answer is C. Primary nodes. In a healthy vRealize Operations cluster, the Primary node acts as the NTP server for the rest of the cluster, synchronizing time across all other nodes. This is by design - the primary node is the authoritative coordinator for cluster-wide configuration and services, and time sy

Explanation

In a healthy vRealize Operations cluster, the Primary node acts as the NTP server for the rest of the cluster, synchronizing time across all other nodes. This is by design - the primary node is the authoritative coordinator for cluster-wide configuration and services, and time synchronization is one of those centralized responsibilities.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A (Remote Collector nodes) are lightweight agents deployed at remote sites to collect metrics; they are not cluster members in the management sense and play no role in cluster-wide time services.
  • B (Replica nodes) exist solely to provide high availability for the primary node - they take over if the primary fails, but in a normally functioning cluster they do not serve as NTP sources.
  • D (Data nodes) are dedicated to storing and processing analytics data; they are consumers of cluster time, not providers of it.

Memory tip: Think "Primary = Authority." Just as the primary node is authoritative for cluster management decisions, it is also authoritative for time. The qualifier "behaving normally" in the question is a deliberate hint to steer you away from replica nodes, which only become relevant when something goes wrong.
