Deploying vRealize Operations (vROps) with resilience and minimal resource consumption requires careful consideration of the deployment architecture. To meet the requirements of consuming minimal cluster compute resources while ensuring resilience against a single node failure, deploying vROps as a cluster with High Availability (HA) enabled is the optimal choice.

Understanding vROps High Availability (HA):

Architecture: In an HA configuration, vROps operates with a primary node and a replica node, along with data nodes as needed. The replica node mirrors the primary node's data, ensuring continuity in case of a failure.

Resource Efficiency: Enabling HA adds redundancy with minimal additional resource overhead compared to other high-availability configurations.

Failure Resilience: With HA enabled, if the primary node fails, the replica node seamlessly takes over, maintaining operational continuity without data loss.

Deployment Steps:

Initial Deployment:

Deploy the primary vROps node.

Add a replica node to enable HA.

Include additional data nodes if necessary, based on environment size and requirements.

Enable High Availability:

Access the vROps administration interface.

Navigate to the Cluster Management settings.

Enable the High Availability option.

Validation:

Ensure that the cluster status indicates HA is active.

Verify that the replica node is synchronized with the primary node.

Benefits of This Approach:

Minimal Resource Consumption: Deploying a primary and a replica node, with HA enabled, uses fewer resources compared to configurations like Continuous Availability (CA), which require more nodes and higher resource allocation.

Resilience: The HA setup ensures that the system can withstand a single node failure without service disruption, meeting the specified resilience requirement.
