VMware vSAN Administrator (2025) — Question 82
As part of a design for a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution, an architect has documented the following dependencies and constraints:
• CONS001 - Internet access will not be permitted from anywhere within the VCF solution.
• CONS002 - The password must not be stored in plain text anywhere within the VCF solution.
• DEP001 - The customer must make the required VCF binaries accessible to the VCF Installer appliance during the deployment phase.
Which design decision should the architect include in the design for the download of the VCF binaries?
Answer options
- A. The Bundle Transfer Utility will be used on the VCF Installer appliance.
- B. The VCF Installer appliance will be configured to connect to an online depot.
- C. The VCF Installer appliance will be configured to connect to an offline depot.
- D. The VCF Download Tool will be used on the VCF Installer appliance.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct choice is C because the design constraints specify that internet access is not allowed, making it necessary to connect to an offline depot for the VCF binaries. Option A is incorrect as the Bundle Transfer Utility would still require some form of internet access. Option B is not viable due to the restriction on internet access, and option D does not address the requirement for an offline source.
