VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 12

What are two pre-requisites for enabling ESXi secure boot? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. External Key Management Service
• B. vCenter Server 7.0 or greater
• C. Trusted Platform Module version 2.0
• D. ESXi 6.5 or greater
• E. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

To enable ESXi secure boot, a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 is necessary for hardware-based security. Additionally, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is required as it provides the necessary firmware interface for secure boot functionality. The other options, while related to virtualization, are not prerequisites for enabling secure boot specifically.
