2V0-21.23 Question 413
Select 3An administrator is tasked with updating the ESXi hosts in a vSphere cluster while ensuring minimum downtime and consistent compliance with a desired image. The cluster is configured with VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) using a single image. The administrator notices that a new critical driver update is available for the hardware used in the cluster. What steps should the administrator take to apply the update while maintaining compliance with the cluster image?
- A
Import the updated driver into the vSphere Lifecycle Manager depot and edit the cluster image to include the new driver.
- B
Create a new baseline for the driver update and attach it to the cluster.
- C
Run a compliance check on the cluster to identify hosts that need the new driver.
- D
Remediate the cluster to apply the updated image to all ESXi hosts.
- E
Manually install the driver on each ESXi host using SSH.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To update ESXi hosts managed by vSphere Lifecycle Manager using a single image, the administrator must first update the image by importing the new driver into the vLCM depot and editing the image. A compliance check should then be run to identify discrepancies between the image and the hosts. Finally, the cluster must be remediated to apply the updated image to all hosts, ensuring consistency and compliance. Legacy baseline workflows and manual driver installations are not applicable in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Importing the updated driver into the vLCM depot and editing the cluster image ensures the image is updated and compliant with the desired state.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Baselines are used in legacy update workflows. In clusters managed with vLCM using a single image, baselines are not applicable.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Running a compliance check identifies discrepancies between the updated image and the current state of the ESXi hosts, ensuring proper planning for remediation.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Remediating the cluster applies the updated image, including the new driver, to all ESXi hosts in the cluster.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Manually installing the driver bypasses vLCM, leading to inconsistencies and non-compliance with the cluster image.
