VMware vSphere 8.x Professional — Question 8

An administrator wants to create virtual machine (VM) templates and store them in a content library. The administrator would like to use the content library to manage different versions of these templates so that reverting to an earlier version is an option.
How should the administrator create these templates?

Answer options

• A. Select a VM in the vCenter inventory. Clone the VM to the content library as a VM template type.
• B. Select a VM template in the vCenter inventory. Clone the template to the content library.
• C. Export a VM in the vCenter inventory to an OVF template. Import the OVF template into the content library.
• D. Convert a VM to a template in the vCenter inventory. Clone the template to the content library.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct approach is to select a VM and clone it to the content library as a VM template type, allowing version management. Options B and D involve cloning existing templates, which do not provide the ability to create new versions from a VM. Option C requires exporting to an OVF, which is not necessary for creating VM templates in a content library.
