The 3V0-31.22 VCAP-CMA Deploy exam is a 12-question, 205-minute, hands-on lab exam delivered at Pearson VUE for $250. Candidates configure Aria Automation 8.x components - Lifecycle Manager environments, cloud accounts, projects, cloud templates, Service Broker policies, ABX/vRO extensibility, Aria Operations content, and troubleshooting via vracli and kubectl - to demonstrate deploy-level mastery of the Aria suite.

Sample VCAP-CMA Deploy Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your VCAP-CMA Deploy exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1An administrator must deploy VMware Aria Automation 8.x in a fully managed configuration so future patches and content lifecycle are orchestrated centrally. Which deployment method should be used?
A.Deploy the OVA directly into vCenter and skip Lifecycle Manager registration
B.Deploy VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle first, then create a new environment with the Aria Automation product to deploy it
C.Use vracli install to bootstrap Aria Automation and add it to Lifecycle Manager afterward
D.Install Aria Automation as a Helm chart on a customer-managed Kubernetes cluster
Explanation: Aria Suite Lifecycle (LCM) is the supported orchestrator for installing, patching, and upgrading the Aria Suite. The supported flow is to install Aria Suite Lifecycle, register an environment, then deploy Aria Automation through the LCM environment so day-2 lifecycle is fully managed.
2During an Aria Suite Lifecycle deployment, the engineer must store the SSH private key, certificate, and license that will be reused across multiple environments. Where in Lifecycle Manager are these stored?
A.Content Management
B.Locker
C.Environments > Inventory Sync
D.Identity and Tenant Management
Explanation: Locker is the central credential, certificate, and license store inside Aria Suite Lifecycle. Passwords, certificates, and licenses added to Locker can be referenced by every product environment LCM manages.
3An engineer needs to deploy a 3-node clustered Aria Automation environment through Lifecycle Manager. Which prerequisite is required for the cluster to come online successfully?
A.A load balancer VIP that fronts ports 443 and 8008 with sticky sessions disabled
B.A separate vSAN datastore dedicated to cluster heartbeats
C.Disabling DRS for the three Aria Automation virtual machines
D.An NSX Tier-0 gateway dedicated to Aria Automation north-south traffic
Explanation: A clustered Aria Automation deployment requires an external load balancer providing a single VIP for the three nodes. Per Broadcom guidance, cluster traffic is HTTPS on 443; the LB must be configured for the deployment to register cluster nodes correctly.
4The deployment of Aria Suite Lifecycle has finished, but log queries from Aria Automation against the central time source are showing skew warnings. Which command should be run on the Aria Automation appliance to verify NTP time sync?
A.vracli ntp status
B.esxcli system ntp test
C.service ntpd diagnose
D.vrlcm-cli ntp check
Explanation: vracli ntp status is the supported command on the Aria Automation appliance to display the configured NTP servers and current synchronization state. It is part of the vracli toolset shipped on every Aria Automation node.
5After replacing the Aria Automation certificate via Lifecycle Manager, browsers show the new certificate but Aria Operations still trusts the old chain when scraping APIs. Which action should the engineer take next?
A.Run vracli certificate ingress --set on every node again to force a refresh
B.Trigger an Inventory Sync of the Aria Operations environment in Lifecycle Manager so the new trust chain is propagated
C.Restart the prelude pods on the Aria Automation cluster
D.Reissue a new self-signed certificate from the Aria Operations admin UI
Explanation: After a certificate replacement on a managed product, an Inventory Sync of the dependent environments in Lifecycle Manager refreshes the trusted certificate chain and product references so cross-product API calls validate the new certificate.
6An organization has deployed Workspace ONE Access through Lifecycle Manager and now needs Aria Automation to authenticate users from Active Directory through it. What must be configured first?
A.An Active Directory directory in Workspace ONE Access with users and groups synced
B.A SAML 2.0 trust manually exchanged between Aria Automation and the AD domain controller
C.An LDAPS bind in Aria Automation pointing directly at the AD global catalog
D.An Active Directory connector inside Aria Automation Identity and Access settings
Explanation: Aria Automation delegates identity to Workspace ONE Access. Workspace ONE Access must have an Active Directory directory configured and users/groups synced before those identities are usable inside Aria Automation projects and roles.
7Following an SSO password change in Workspace ONE Access, Aria Automation users can no longer log in. Which command on the Aria Automation appliance updates the cached Workspace ONE Access password and re-establishes the trust?
A.vracli vidm sync-users --force
B.vracli vidm
C.vracli workspaceone reset
D.vracli sso reload
Explanation: vracli vidm is the supported command on Aria Automation to view and reconfigure the Workspace ONE Access (formerly vIDM) integration, including updating the admin credential used to connect.
8An administrator must register a new vCenter as a cloud account in Aria Automation so workloads can be provisioned. Which combination of inputs is required at minimum?
A.vCenter FQDN/IP, credentials, datacenter selection, and at least one selected vSphere region (datacenter)
B.vCenter FQDN, credentials, and an NSX-T Manager URL
C.vCenter URL, vCenter SSO domain, and a Cloud Proxy URL only
D.vCenter FQDN, credentials, and an existing project assignment
Explanation: When creating a vSphere cloud account in Aria Automation, the wizard validates the vCenter FQDN/IP and credentials, lists the datacenters, and requires at least one to be selected to define the regions usable for cloud zones.
9Aria Automation must provision into AWS regions that are isolated by network policy from the Aria Automation cluster. What is required to allow the AWS cloud account to function?
A.Deploy a Cloud Proxy with outbound connectivity to AWS and assign it during AWS cloud account creation
B.Open inbound 443 from AWS public ranges to the Aria Automation cluster and skip the Cloud Proxy
C.Use an NSX-T Edge as a transit gateway between Aria Automation and AWS
D.Configure an IAM role on the Aria Automation appliance instead of supplying access keys
Explanation: Cloud Proxies are deployed close to the target endpoint when the Aria Automation cluster cannot reach it directly. For AWS, a Cloud Proxy with outbound connectivity to the AWS APIs is selected during cloud account creation to relay calls.
10Which statement correctly describes a Cloud Zone in Aria Automation?
A.A Cloud Zone is a logical grouping of compute resources from one cloud account region used by projects for placement
B.A Cloud Zone is a synonym for an Availability Zone in AWS and only applies to AWS cloud accounts
C.A Cloud Zone is a Workspace ONE Access tenant boundary
D.A Cloud Zone is a virtual network created in NSX for Aria Automation deployments
Explanation: A Cloud Zone is the construct that exposes compute resources (clusters, hosts, resource pools, AWS regions, Azure regions) from a single cloud account so projects can consume them for placement. Tags and capability filters constrain placement within a zone.
