VMware App Volumes 4 Specialist — Question 22

An administrator observes this health check warning:
Controller firmware is VMware certified
They proceed to update the latest firmware on the Storage Controller. After a successful firmware upgrade, the same health check alert continues to display.
Which statement is true?

Answer options

• A. Controller is not VMware certified and hence any firmware version displays a warning.
• B. The recently installed firmware is yet to be certified and included in VMware Compatibility Guide.
• C. The VMware vSAN Health Service needs to be restarted for changes to take effect.
• D. The alert can be ignored and silenced, since the firmware is newer than the recommended firmware.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the firmware may not yet be listed in the VMware Compatibility Guide even if it is the latest version. Option A is incorrect as the warning implies the firmware is VMware certified. Option C is wrong because restarting the VMware vSAN Health Service is not required for the health check to recognize the firmware. Option D is also incorrect because ignoring the alert does not resolve the underlying issue of certification.
