VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 9

Which two statements are true regarding the use of firmware update packages in vSphere Lifecycle Manager? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. A hardware support manager must be registered as a vCenter Server extension.
• B. The firmware and drivers add-on are distributed through the official VMware online depot.
• C. The firmware and drivers add-on can be used on clusters that are managed with baselines.
• D. The firmware and drivers add-on can add or remove components from the ESXi base image.
• E. The firmware and drivers add-on is provided by a third-party vendor.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Option A is correct because a hardware support manager must be registered as a vCenter Server extension to properly manage firmware updates. Option E is also correct since the firmware and drivers add-on can indeed be provided by third-party vendors. Options B, C, and D are incorrect; they misstate the distribution and usage of the firmware and drivers add-on in relation to vSphere Lifecycle Manager.
