VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator — Question 44

An administrator needs to configure an ESXi host and create a host profile to ensure consistent configuration across multiple hosts in a cluster.
Which three steps are necessary to achieve this? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Configure the desired settings on a reference ESXi host.
• B. Extract the host profile from the configured reference host.
• C. Manually configure each host to match the reference host settings.
• D. Remediate the non-compliant hosts to ensure they match the host profile.
• E. Apply the host profile to all hosts in the cluster.

Correct answer: A, B, D

Explanation

The correct steps involve configuring a reference ESXi host (A), extracting the host profile from this reference (B), and then remediating non-compliant hosts to align with the profile (D). Option C is incorrect as manual configuration is not necessary when a host profile is applied, and option E, while logical, is not required before remediating the non-compliant hosts.
