VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 60

A vSAN administrator wants to install a patch on an existing vSAN cluster. The environment runs vSphere 7.0, and the patch contains ESXi 7.0 Update 1c. The vSAN administrator will use vSphere Lifecycle Manager images to add the patch to the proper image and apply it to the vSAN cluster.
Which action should be performed before patching the ESXi hosts in the vSAN cluster?

Answer options

• A. Upgrade the Platform Services Controller.
• B. Perform a disk format upgrade.
• C. Create a baseline instead of using images.
• D. Upgrade the vCenter Server.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Before patching the ESXi hosts, it's essential to upgrade the vCenter Server to ensure compatibility with the new patch. The other options, while important in different contexts, do not address the immediate requirement of ensuring the vCenter Server is up-to-date for the patching process.
