VMware Site Recovery Manager (2025) — Question 49

An administrator is tasked to upgrade an existing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 5.2 deployment to VCF 9.0. The existing deployment includes the following components:

• Aria Operations
• Aria Automation

Which three components must be upgraded or deployed first? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Manually upgrade Aria Operations to VCF Operations 9.0.
• B. Automatically upgrade Aria Automation to VCF Automation 9.0.
• C. Deploy of an NSX Manager 9.0 instance.
• D. Manually upgrade Aria Automation to VCF Automation 9.0.
• E. Automatically upgrade Aria Operations to VCF Operations 9.0.
• F. Deploy VCF Installer appliance.

Correct answer: A, C, F

Explanation

The correct components to upgrade or deploy first are A, C, and F because Aria Operations must be manually upgraded to ensure compatibility with the new VCF version, the NSX Manager must be deployed to provide networking capabilities, and the VCF Installer appliance is necessary for the overall upgrade process. The other options involve automated upgrades or components that are not prerequisites for the initial upgrade steps.
