Exam 2V0-21.23 topic 1 question 73 discussion

ABE Took me a while, but I found the answer: "...to perform firmware updates on hosts that are of ESXi version 8.0 and later and that are in a vSAN cluster, you must manage that cluster with a single image. You must also deploy an OEM-provided hardware support manager and register it as a vCenter Server extension. The hardware support manager inspects the hardware of the hosts in the cluster and lists available and compatible firmware versions, which you can add to the image for the cluster. The actual firmware update happens upon remediating the cluster against an image that contains a firmware add-on." https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-lifecycle-manager/GUID-6906DCFA-F4A4-4A67-A86D-2F56AB0B3B38.html

Answers can be found by using both documents listed below. The first one explains options A+B the second one explains option E https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-lifecycle-manager/GUID-6906DCFA-F4A4-4A67-A86D-2F56AB0B3B38.html https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere-lifecycle-manager.doc/GUID-34AF5B19-FC80-4915-8358-D5FCC8A8E69E.html

A. because you must use an image, B. the server vendor HW manager must be registered, it will show you the needed firmware updates that D. you should download from the vendor depot and add to the image.

Looks like the correct answers are A, E, and F. To meet the requirements of the scenario, the administrator should take the following steps: Configure vSphere Lifecycle Manager with an image for the cluster. This will ensure that all hosts in the cluster are updated with the same software. Run a hardware compatibility check using vSphere Lifecycle Manager. This will ensure that the new software versions are checked for compliance against the vSAN Hardware Compatibility List. Configure vSphere Lifecycle Manager with a baseline for the cluster. This will ensure that the firmware versions on the hosts are updated.

Should be ABE.

C - NO Unlike vendor add-ons, firmware and drivers add-ons are not distributed through the official VMware online depot or as offline bundles available at https://my.vmware.com. For a given hardware vendor, firmware updates are available in a special vendor depot, whose content you access through a software module called a hardware support manager.
