VMware vSphere 6 Foundations (VCP6-DCV) — Question 5

An administrator deploys vCenter Server using the embedded Platform Services Controller. After testing the deployment for a couple of months, it is determined that the environment would be better served with an external Platform Services Controller.
What should the administrator do to meet this new requirement?

Answer options

• A. Deploy a fresh instance of vCenter Server with an external Platform Services Controller.
• B. Perform a fresh install of an external Platform Services Controller.
• C. Migrate the embedded Platform Services Controller to an external Platform Services Controller.
• D. Upgrade the embedded Platform Services Controller to an external Platform Services Controller.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because upgrading the embedded Platform Services Controller to an external one allows for a seamless transition while preserving existing configurations. Options A and B would require additional setup and migration of data, which is not necessary. Option C suggests a migration process that does not exist in this context, as it is not an upgrade or a direct transfer.
