VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator (2025) — Question 43

An administrator has been tasked with adding a new vSphere cluster within a VI Workload Domain in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). The VI Workload Domain currently has a single 5-node vSphere cluster that is backed with vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) Images and uses vSAN for storage.

The administrator wants to minimize administrative effort by continuing to use vLCM images.

What is the minimum number of hosts required to deploy the new vSphere Cluster?

Answer options

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a minimum of three hosts is required to deploy a new vSphere Cluster that is managed by vLCM. This ensures that there is enough capacity for high availability and efficient resource management. Options A, C, and D do not meet the minimum host requirements for this configuration, as fewer than three would not support vLCM effectively, and four or five would exceed the minimum needed.
