VMware Site Recovery Manager (2025) — Question 39

An administrator is tasked to upgrade a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment from 5.2 to 9.0. During the preparation, the administrator can only see the SDDC Manager 9.0 bundle available to apply.
Why are no other bundles available?

Answer options

• A. The ASYNC tool must be used to download all required upgrade bundles.
• B. A proxy server was used to download bundles.
• C. An offline repository was used for the upgrade bundles.
• D. SDDC Manager must be upgraded first.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because before upgrading the entire VMware Cloud Foundation, the SDDC Manager must be brought up to the compatible version. Options A, B, and C suggest issues with downloading or accessing bundles, which do not address the requirement for the SDDC Manager's prior upgrade.
