VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator (2025) — Question 46

An administrator has been tasked with upgrading VMware Aria Suite components to the latest version supported in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF).

The administrator completes the following steps:
• Downloads the update repository files for each of the Aria Suite components from the Broadcom support portal
• Uploads the files to the Aria Suite Lifecycle appliance using SSFI

However, when attempting to import the binaries into Aria Suite Lifecycle using the Binary Mapping feature, the following error presents itself:

Error Code: LCMSOURCEMAPPING10018
Selected files checksums does not match with any product versions supported by VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle.
One or more selected files checksums does not match with any product versions supported by VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle: [/data/Prelude_VA-8.18.1.36791-24282366-updaterepo.iso ]

What action must the administrator take to ensure the successful completion of the task?

Answer options

• A. Upload the Aria Suite install ISOs to the /data repository.
• B. Update the Product Support Pack to the correct version.
• C. Remove all existing product files from the /data repository.
• D. Upgrade VMware SDDC Manager to the latest available version.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the error indicates that the checksums of the uploaded files do not match any supported product versions, which suggests that the Product Support Pack may be outdated. Options A, C, and D do not address the specific checksum mismatch issue and would not resolve the problem of the unsupported file versions.
