2V0-41.24 Question 269
Single answerAn organization has deployed VMware NSX-T Data Center to enhance their network virtualization capabilities. The administrator is tasked with installing NSX-T on a new cluster. During the installation process, the administrator must ensure that the appropriate VIBs (vSphere Installation Bundles) are installed on the ESXi hosts in the cluster. Which step must the administrator take to install the required VIBs on each host?
- A
Use the NSX Manager to prepare the ESXi hosts in the cluster by installing the NSX-T VIBs.
- B
Manually upload the VIB files to each ESXi host through the vSphere Client.
- C
Use the vSphere Update Manager (VUM) to import and apply the NSX-T VIBs to the cluster.
- D
Run a custom script on each ESXi host to install the NSX-T VIBs.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When deploying NSX-T Data Center, the NSX Manager is the central component used to manage, configure, and install the necessary components on ESXi hosts. During the host preparation process, NSX Manager installs the required VIBs on the ESXi hosts in the cluster. This automated approach ensures consistency and reduces the risk of errors compared to manual methods.
- A. Correct.
This is the correct approach. NSX Manager provides a built-in workflow to prepare ESXi hosts by automatically deploying the required VIBs for NSX-T.
- B. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because manually uploading VIBs is not the recommended or supported method for NSX-T installation.
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because vSphere Update Manager (VUM) is not used to install NSX-T VIBs. NSX Manager handles this task.
- D. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because running custom scripts on ESXi hosts is not a standard practice for installing NSX-T VIBs.
