Explanation
In a disconnected environment, downloading and transferring update bundles requires using the Offline Bundle Transfer Utility (OBTU) CLI tool. The process begins with generating a manifest file in the connected environment to identify necessary updates. After downloading the updates in the connected environment, the 'transfer-bundles' command is used to move the bundles to the disconnected environment. Finally, validating the integrity of the bundles before applying them ensures a successful and safe update process.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The 'generate-manifest' command must be run in a connected environment to identify and create a list of required update bundles.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The manifest file is transferred back to the connected environment to fetch the updates, not to the disconnected environment.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The actual 'download-updates' command must be run in the connected environment to download the update bundles.
- D. Correct.
Correct. The 'transfer-bundles' command is used to move the downloaded update bundles from the connected environment to the disconnected environment.
- E. Correct.
Correct. Verifying the integrity of the update bundles ensures they were not corrupted during the transfer process and are safe to apply.
