VMware vSphere 6.5 Professional (VCP6.5-DCV) — Question 11

What are three recommended prerequisites before upgrading virtual machine hardware? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Create a backup or snapshot of the virtual machine.
• B. Upgrade VMware Tools to the latest version.
• C. Verify that the virtual machine is stored on VMFS3, VMFS5, or NFS datastores.
• D. Detach all CD-ROM/ISO images from the virtual machines.
• E. Set the Advanced Parameter virtualHW.version = 11

Correct answer: A, B, C

Explanation

Creating a backup or snapshot ensures data safety during the upgrade process. Upgrading VMware Tools is essential for compatibility with the new hardware features. Verifying the datastore type ensures that the virtual machine can utilize the hardware effectively, while detaching CD-ROM/ISO images and setting the advanced parameter are not necessary prerequisites for upgrading hardware.
