Questions 4

An administrator is troubleshooting intermittent VM I/O stalls that appear across hosts and clusters.

The issue is sporadic, and the administrator needs to rapidly collect the correct platform logs for deeper analysis and possible escalation. The administrator wants to use a supported mechanism designed for efficient log collection, and must ensure the environment prerequisites are met so the tool can be used successfully.

Which option correctly describes the supported approach and a key prerequisite?

Options:

A.  

Use Logbay to collect logs, which is available once the node has a CVM deployed or the AHV compute node has been added to the cluster.

B.  

Use Panacea to troubleshoot the incident, retrieving the required host and CVM logs directly, without first collecting a log bundle from the cluster.

C.  

Use storage policy compliance reports and evaluations, include the underlying system logs needed to diagnose performance issues.

D.  

Use ADS to export diagnostic bundles automatically whenever built-in log collection function detects contention hotspots.

Questions 12

An administrator supports multiple AHV clusters under Prism Central and uses Intelligent Operations playbooks for remediation.

The organization recently standardized alert policies, but the alert policy names and IDs change between environments due to automated deployments and periodic updates.

The requirement is to trigger a remediation playbook for any alert that matches a defined performance pattern (for example, impact type and severity plus a keyword pattern), regardless of which specific alert policy generated it, while avoiding unrelated non-performance alerts.

Which playbook trigger best meets the requirement?

Options:

A.  

Alerts Matching Criteria trigger - configured with the required alert filters so the playbook triggers for any alert meeting the criteria.

B.  

Webhook trigger - configured so an external system calls the playbook endpoint only when performance incidents are detected.

C.  

Alert trigger - configured to a single alert policy so the playbook triggers only when that specific policy generates an alert.

D.  

Event trigger - configured for a single event type so the playbook triggers when that event type is generated for the selected entities.

Questions 14

An administrator receives intermittent “VM I/O latency” complaints from two application teams that share the same AHV cluster.

In Prism Central, multiple performance-related alerts appear across the same 30 minute window, but only some VMs are impacted.

The administrator needs to collect the most relevant platform logs for escalation, minimizing noise and ensuring the bundle covers the exact time window when the alert condition occurred. The organization also requires that the log bundle can be attached to a support case without manual repackaging.

Which approach best satisfies the requirement?

Options:

A.  

Enable auto-resolve for the alert policy so the alert clears after the condition stops, then collect logs later if the alert returns.

B.  

Create a new custom alert policy with a stricter threshold so the alert triggers more consistently, then rely on the alert history instead of collecting logs.

C.  

Export the Alerts list to CSV (up to the export limit), then attach the CSV to the case as the primary diagnostic artifact for performance troubleshooting.

D.  

In the alert details, identify impacted entities and timestamps, collect logs for the relevant time window, and upload the bundle using a case-number upload option.
