An administrator is tasked with upgrading an existing VMware vSphere 6.5 environment to version 7.0. There are existing VMFS3 and VMFS5 datastores in the environment. Which two statements are true regarding this upgrade? (Choose two.)
A.
VMFS5 is no longer supported with ESXi 7.0.
B.
VMFS3 is no longer supported with ESXi 7.0.
C.
An ESXi 7.0 host can automatically upgrade a VMFS5 datastore.
D.
An ESXi 7.0 host will automatically upgrade a VMFS3 datastore when discovered.
E.
A VMFS3 datastore cannot be upgraded; a new VMFS6 datastore is required.
you are absolutely right :
VMFS3 Datastores
ESXi no longer supports VMFS3 datastores. The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores. The host performs the upgrade operation in the following circumstances:
At the first boot after an upgrade to ESXi 7.0 or later, when the host mounts all discovered VMFS3 datastores.
When you manually mount the VMFS3 datastores that are discovered after the boot, or mount persistently unmounted datastores.
My Bad. Correct for is BC
VMFS3 Datastores
ESXi no longer supports VMFS3 datastores. The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores
B and D
A is false
C is also false as you cannot upgrade VMFS 5 to VMFS 6
E is also false as you can very much upgrade VMFS 3 to VMFS 5
That leaves B and D (B is also a bit wrong, just less wrong than the others as in you can use VMFS 3 but cannot create VMFS 3 in ESXi 7)
B and D are the correct answers

Okay so from this link: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-DAD74662-E09E-44A4-82F1-DB7A3433CEF9.html
ESXi no longer supports VMFS3 datastores. The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores. - This statement confuses a lot! it might be VMFS6 instead.. because what's the use of upgrading to VMFS5? when they say that If you have a VMFS5 datastore in your environment, create a VMFS6 datastore and migrate virtual machines from the VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6.
I think they wrong to write the E Answer, they should have written :
"A VMFS5 datastore cannot be upgraded; a new VMFS6 datastore is required"
only in this case the answer E would be correct
B and D are correct.
ESXi no longer supports VMFS3 datastores. The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores.
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-DAD74662-E09E-44A4-82F1-DB7A3433CEF9.html
The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores. However that is due to ESXi no longer supporting VMFS3 which is where this confusion is tied.
You cannot upgrade a VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6, this must be migrated from one datastore to another IE the example provided VMFS5 to VMFS6.
