Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, D
Explanation
To update a template in the content library, you can either overwrite the existing template with the modified virtual machine or use the 'Update from Existing VM' option. These methods ensure the template is properly updated while maintaining its integrity within the content library. Cloning creates a new template instead of updating, and importing/exporting OVFs is not the recommended approach for this task.
- A. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. Cloning the virtual machine back to the content library creates a new template rather than updating the existing one.
- B. Correct.
This is correct. You can overwrite the existing template in the content library with the updated virtual machine.
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. Exporting and importing as an OVF is not the standard or recommended method to update a template in the content library.
- D. Correct.
This is correct. The 'Update from Existing VM' option is specifically designed to update an existing template in the content library with the changes made to a virtual machine.
- E. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. The content library manages templates directly, and manual deletion is unnecessary when updating a template.
