VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 77

The vCenter inventory contains a virtual machine (VM) template called Linux-01. The adminis-trator wants to install a software patch into Linux-01 while allowing users to continue to access Linux-01 to deploy VMs.

Which series of steps should the administrator take to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. 1. Verify that Linux-01 is in a content library. 2. Clone Linux-01 3. Convert the clone to a VM. 4. Install the software patch.
• B. 1. Convert Linux-01 to a VM 2. Install the software patch. 3. Convert the VM back to a VM template. 4. Add Linux-01 to the content library.
• C. 1. Verify that Linux-01 is in a content library. 2. Check out Linux-01. 3. Install the software patch. 4. Check in Linux-01.
• D. 1. Clone Linux-01. 2. Convert the clone to a VM. 3. Install the software patch. 4. Convert the VM back to a template.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because checking out Linux-01 allows for the patch installation while keeping it available for users to deploy VMs. Options A and D require cloning and converting back, which disrupts access. Option B involves converting the template to a VM, which also limits user access during the patching process.
