VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 10

An administrator is running a variety of vSphere 6.5 cluster configurations and is tasked with upgrading to vSphere 7.0.
Which two conditions could cause potential conflicts or outages to the virtual machines (VMs)? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The use of a Windows vCenter Server system
• B. Datastores attached to the hosts based on VMFS3
• C. The upgrade of a vSphere Distributed Switch with VMs attached
• D. The upgrade of an external platform services controller
• E. The use of third-party custom vSphere Installation Bundles (VIBs) installed on the ESXi hosts

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

Upgrading a vSphere Distributed Switch with attached VMs (option C) can lead to network disruptions, affecting VM connectivity. Similarly, the presence of third-party custom vSphere Installation Bundles (VIBs) (option E) can introduce compatibility issues during the upgrade process, potentially causing outages. The other options do not directly contribute to conflicts or outages during the upgrade.
