VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 100

An administrator is tasked with upgrading an existing vSphere environment to version 7.0. The environment consists of mounted NFS v3 datastores. The new design requires configuration of NFS v4.1 datastores.
Which statement is true regarding this upgrade?

Answer options

• A. The NFS v3 datastores can be unmounted and remounted using NFS v4.1.
• B. A new VMkernel port for NFS v4.1 needs to be created before the upgrade.
• C. Following first boot, NFS v3 datastores are automatically converted to NFS v4.1 by ESXi 7.0
• D. ESXi 7.0 does NOT support NFS v4.1.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because NFS v3 datastores can indeed be unmounted and remounted as NFS v4.1 in ESXi 7.0. Option B is incorrect since a new VMkernel port is not a prerequisite for the upgrade. Option C is false as there is no automatic conversion from NFS v3 to NFS v4.1 upon boot, and option D is incorrect because ESXi 7.0 does support NFS v4.1.
