VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 39

A vSAN administrator of a network isolated vSAN environment wants to upgrade the environment from the vSAN 7.0 to the vSAN 7.0 U1 using vLCM.
Which option, if any, should be used as a depot in this case?

Answer options

• A. Configure the vSphere Lifecycle Manager to download the updates from an Online Depot.
• B. It is not possible to use the vSphere Lifecycle Manager on a network isolated environment.
• C. Configure the vSphere Lifecycle Manager to download updates from a local UMDS-shared repository.
• D. Configure the vSphere Lifecycle Manager to download the updates from the VMware Depot using HTTPS.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because in a network-isolated environment, the only viable option for obtaining updates is through a local UMDS-shared repository. Option A is incorrect as an Online Depot cannot be accessed in an isolated network, B is wrong because vLCM can work with local depots, and D is not applicable since HTTPS access to external depots is not available in this scenario.
