Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
To deploy VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle using SDDC Manager, administrators must first import the OVA file into the vSphere Content Library. This is a critical step that ensures the OVA is accessible for deployment across the SDDC. Once imported, the OVA can be deployed from the Content Library using SDDC Manager. This process simplifies the management of deployment files and maintains consistency across the environment.
- A. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle OVA must be imported into the vSphere Content Library first; it cannot be downloaded directly to the SDDC Manager appliance.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Creating a new workload domain is not a requirement for deploying VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle. It can be deployed on an existing management domain or workload domain if appropriate resources are available.
- C. Correct.
Correct: The OVA file must first be imported into the vSphere Content Library and then deployed using SDDC Manager. This ensures centralized management and access to the OVA.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The SDDC Manager interface is not used to directly register and deploy the OVA. The deployment process involves importing the OVA into the vSphere Content Library first.
