C0006621 IBM Certified Administrator – Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management v2.2 PLUS Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Administration Practice Exam
Exam Number: 4349 | Last updated April 17, 2026 | 395+ questions across 5 vendor-aligned objectives
Hybrid-cloud administrators who operate Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management v2.2 on OpenShift target the C0006621 bundle. The credential validates daily administration of the v2.2 management hub — which is meaningfully different from v1.3 — alongside the OpenShift skills that keep the platform healthy. Candidates should understand the v2.2 Grafana-based observability, expanded policy library, and refined cluster-lifecycle capabilities.
Stacking 26% of the exam, Hub Installation and Upgrade covers operator install, storage requirements, identity integration, and the in-place upgrade path from v2.x fix packs. At 22%, Managed-Cluster Operations covers cluster import, cluster creation via ClusterClaims, and the lifecycle states specific to v2.2. A further 20% targets Policy Library and Compliance, covering the expanded policy set that ships with v2.2, including CIS benchmarks.
Tamping down the remaining objectives, Observability and Alerts accounts for 18% and spans the v2.2 observability service, metric retention, and alert routing. OpenShift Administration represents 14% and spans cluster sizing, operator management, and day-two OpenShift tasks. Because v2.2 introduced significant changes from v1.3, questions about version-specific behavior are more common than on earlier version pairings.

10 of 395+ questions
Question #1 - Hub Installation and Upgrade
A CP4MCM v2.2 admin at Grantwood Bank is installing the hub for the first time.
Which v2.2 install pattern fits?
A) Download raw manifests and apply them by hand
B) Subscribe the foundational services and CP4MCM v2.2 operators via OperatorHub, provision the documented storage requirements, configure LDAP identity, and create the custom resource
C) Install capabilities from source
D) Skip operators and manage pods manually
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
Operator install plus storage plus LDAP plus CR is the v2.2 hub-install reference. Raw manifests, source installs, and manual pod management all fail lifecycle. Source: Check Source
Question #2 - Hub Installation and Upgrade
A CP4MCM v2.2 upgrade at Hollysdale Insurance must move between v2.x fix packs.
Which v2.2 practice fits?
A) Upgrade in production first without tests
B) Delete and reinstall to upgrade
C) Take backups, follow the documented operator-based in-place upgrade between fix packs, and verify hub and managed-cluster health after the upgrade
D) Skip upgrades and accept CVE exposure
Show solution
Correct answers: C – Explanation:
Operator-based in-place upgrade with backups and verification is the v2.2 upgrade reference. Delete-reinstall, prod-first, and skipping all fail safe-upgrade practice. Source: Check Source
Question #3 - Managed-Cluster Operations
A CP4MCM v2.2 admin at Westmore Utilities needs to onboard an existing OpenShift cluster to the hub.
Which v2.2 mechanism fits?
A) Ask the cluster to ‘find the hub’ on its own
B) Point the hub at the cluster’s API endpoint and skip klusterlet
C) Copy the hub’s database to the cluster
D) Import the cluster via the CP4MCM v2.2 managed-cluster import flow, which installs the klusterlet and registers the cluster with the hub
Show solution
Correct answers: D – Explanation:
klusterlet-based managed-cluster import is the v2.2 reference. Endpoint-only, database copies, and wishful discovery all fail the onboarding path. Source: Check Source
Question #4 - Managed-Cluster Operations
A CP4MCM v2.2 admin at Oldfield Retail must create a new managed cluster dynamically for a short-lived project.
Which v2.2 feature fits?
A) Manually provision each short-lived cluster with no pool
B) Use ClusterClaims against a pre-provisioned cluster pool so developers can claim a cluster for the project and release it when done
C) Refuse short-lived cluster requests
D) Keep every short-lived cluster forever
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
ClusterClaims against pools is the v2.2 dynamic-cluster reference. Manual provisioning, refusal, and forever-clusters all fail the pattern. Source: Check Source
Question #5 - Managed-Cluster Operations
A cluster-health issue at Darnholme Bank shows a managed cluster stuck ‘Unavailable’ in the v2.2 hub.
Which troubleshooting step fits?
A) Check the klusterlet pods on the managed cluster for errors, verify connectivity from the managed cluster to the hub endpoints, and follow the v2.2 cluster-lifecycle troubleshooting guide
B) Delete the managed cluster entirely and re-onboard
C) Ignore the status
D) Reinstall the hub from scratch
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
klusterlet and connectivity investigation is the v2.2 cluster-lifecycle troubleshooting reference. Delete-and-re-onboard, ignoring, and hub reinstalls are all disproportionate. Source: Check Source
Question #6 - Policy Library and Compliance
A CP4MCM v2.2 admin at Fentleigh Energy wants to enforce CIS benchmarks across managed clusters.
Which v2.2 capability fits?
A) Audit CIS compliance manually once a year
B) Write every policy from scratch per cluster
C) Use the CP4MCM v2.2 expanded policy library, including the CIS benchmark policies, propagated via placement rules to the relevant managed clusters
D) Skip CIS enforcement
Show solution
Correct answers: C – Explanation:
v2.2 expanded policy library plus placement is the CIS-enforcement reference. Per-cluster writes, annual audits, and skipping all fail compliance. Source: Check Source
Question #7 - Policy Library and Compliance
A compliance-drift alert at Marrowfield Trust must route to the platform’s on-call when a policy is violated.
Which v2.2 integration fits?
A) Configure the v2.2 alerting on compliance events so violations fire through the configured alert channels to the on-call team
B) Rely on a weekly report with no real-time alerting
C) Ignore violations until the next audit
D) Turn compliance off to eliminate the signal
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
v2.2 compliance alerting to on-call is the reference. Weekly reports, ignoring, and turning off compliance all fail the requirement. Source: Check Source
Question #8 - Observability and Alerts
A v2.2 observability admin at Kinderbrook Financial wants longer metric retention for capacity planning.
Which v2.2 configuration fits?
A) Accept the default retention regardless of need
B) Tune the v2.2 observability service’s metric-retention settings to match the capacity-planning horizon, ensuring storage sizing supports the longer retention window
C) Export metrics to an unrelated system via screenshots
D) Delete old metrics daily to save space
Show solution
Correct answers: B – Explanation:
Metric-retention tuning with matching storage is the v2.2 observability reference. Defaults-only, screenshot exports, and aggressive deletion all fail capacity-planning observability. Source: Check Source
Question #9 - Observability and Alerts
An alert-routing requirement at Blakewood Holdings must split alerts between two on-call teams.
Which v2.2 alerting capability fits?
A) Turn alerts off for one team
B) Send every alert to a shared inbox nobody reads
C) Send only half of the alerts at random
D) Configure v2.2 alert routing rules so alerts are dispatched to each team’s channel based on labels or namespaces, with appropriate severities
Show solution
Correct answers: D – Explanation:
Label/namespace-based alert routing is the v2.2 reference. Shared inbox, random delivery, and alert-off all fail the routing requirement. Source: Check Source
Question #10 - OpenShift Administration
A managed cluster at Silverdale Capital shows operators frequently requiring updates.
Which CP4MCM v2.2 OpenShift admin practice handles frequent operator updates in a controlled way?
A) Use the OpenShift Operator Lifecycle Manager with appropriate subscription channels so operators update along controlled paths, with maintenance windows for significant updates
B) Install operators outside OLM and manage updates by hand
C) Skip operator updates forever
D) Update operators immediately without any testing
Show solution
Correct answers: A – Explanation:
OLM with controlled channels and maintenance windows is the OpenShift admin reference. Non-OLM operators, skipped updates, and no-test updates all fail admin practice. Source: Check Source
