2V0-21.23 Question 433
Select 3An administrator is tasked with creating a VMware ESXi cluster image to standardize the host configurations across a new vSphere cluster. Which of the following steps must the administrator perform to successfully create and apply the ESXi cluster image?
- A
Import a base image (ESXi version) into the vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM).
- B
Add desired vendor add-ons and custom components to the cluster image.
- C
Enable vSphere DRS on the cluster before applying the image.
- D
Create a baseline compliance report to compare hosts to the cluster image.
- E
Validate and remediate all cluster hosts using the created cluster image.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
To create and apply a VMware ESXi cluster image using vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM), an administrator must first import a base image, add any vendor-specific add-ons or custom components, and then validate and remediate the cluster to ensure all hosts are compliant with the image. Enabling vSphere DRS and creating compliance reports are not part of this process.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Importing a base image is a required step in creating a cluster image using vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM). The base image defines the ESXi version and is the foundation of the cluster image.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Vendor add-ons and custom components can be included in the cluster image to ensure compatibility with specific hardware or applications. This step is necessary to customize the image for the environment.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Enabling vSphere DRS is not a prerequisite for creating or applying a cluster image. DRS is unrelated to the vLCM cluster image process and focuses on workload balancing.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Creating a baseline compliance report is not required when using vSphere Lifecycle Manager for cluster images. Instead, compliance checks are automatically performed during validation and remediation.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Validation and remediation are essential steps to ensure all hosts in the cluster match the desired image. This ensures compliance and standardization across the cluster.
