VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR Specialist — Question 15

A vSAN administrator has a vSAN cluster that is using vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) to manage hypervisor, server drivers, and firmware. All hosts in the cluster are compliant according to the vLCM image.
A 10GB NIC on the servers is experiencing issues, and the vSAN administrator determines a new network driver will resolve the problem. Unfortunately, the required NIC driver is a newer version compared to the driver provided by the most recent Vendor Add-on.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take to ensure the latest network driver is installed on the NIC before remediation?

Answer options

• A. Make sure the vLCM image is configured to use the most recent version of the Vendor Add-on
• B. Add an individual component to the vLCM image that has the updated NIC driver
• C. Remove the Vendor Add-on from the vLCM image, and then manually install the network driver on the servers
• D. Modify the vLCM image to omit the NIC Driver, and then manually update the servers with the required NIC driver

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct action is to add an individual component to the vLCM image that has the updated NIC driver, which allows the administrator to ensure the latest driver is included without compromising compliance. Options A, C, and D do not address the need to maintain the vLCM image's compliance while updating the specific driver, making them unsuitable choices.
