VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 26

Which step can an administrator take so that vSphere can access patch information if vCenter Server does NOT have Internet access?

Answer options

• A. Use a Web server on the vCenter Server machine to automate the transfer of files.
• B. Install VMware vSphere Update Manager Download Service on a Windows server.
• C. Use an offline ISO file to import patches to the vSphere Lifecycle Manager depot manually.
• D. Install VMware vSphere Update Manager Download Service on a Linux server.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as installing VMware vSphere Update Manager Download Service on a Linux server allows the administrator to manage and download patches without needing an internet connection on the vCenter Server. Options A and B do not address the core requirement of enabling access to patch information without direct internet access, while option C does not utilize the specific service that facilitates patch management in the context described.
