2V0-21.23 Question 345
Single answerYour organization has recently implemented VMware Skyline to proactively monitor the vSphere environment. During a routine review, Skyline Advisor identifies a critical finding related to outdated VMware Tools versions on multiple virtual machines. What is the most appropriate action to take to resolve this issue using best practices?
- A
Manually update VMware Tools on each virtual machine by logging into the guest operating system and initiating the update.
- B
Use vSphere Lifecycle Manager to upgrade VMware Tools on all affected virtual machines in a single task.
- C
Ignore the finding, as it is not critical to virtual machine performance.
- D
Create a custom script to automate VMware Tools updates and run it across all affected virtual machines.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
VMware Skyline proactively identifies potential issues within the vSphere environment, such as outdated VMware Tools versions. The best practice for addressing such findings is to use vSphere Lifecycle Manager, which provides an efficient and centralized method for managing updates across multiple virtual machines. This ensures compliance with VMware recommendations and minimizes administrative overhead.
- A. Incorrect.
Manually updating VMware Tools on each virtual machine is time-consuming and does not utilize the tools provided by VMware for efficient updates.
- B. Correct.
Using vSphere Lifecycle Manager to upgrade VMware Tools is the recommended best practice for efficiently managing updates across multiple virtual machines.
- C. Incorrect.
Ignoring the finding is not recommended, as outdated VMware Tools can lead to compatibility and performance issues, as well as security risks.
- D. Incorrect.
While creating a custom script could automate the process, it is not necessary since VMware provides built-in tools like vSphere Lifecycle Manager to handle this task efficiently.
