VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2020) — Question 28

A bug has been identified in VMware NSX-T that causes ESXi hosts to randomly PSOD and crash when a high volume of firewall rules are being applied. VMware has released an update for NSX-T to address the issue.
Which method should the administrator use to apply this update to the environment?

Answer options

• A. Upgrade VMware Cloud Foundation to a version that includes this patch.
• B. Apply the latest HotFix directly to NSX-T to address the issue immediately.
• C. Use VMware Lifecycle Manager to upgrade NSX-T to the latest version.
• D. Utilize SDDC Manager to upgrade NSX-T to the latest version.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as VMware Lifecycle Manager is specifically designed for managing and upgrading VMware environments, making it the most suitable choice for upgrading NSX-T. Option A is incorrect because upgrading VMware Cloud Foundation does not directly address the NSX-T issue. Option B suggests applying a HotFix, which may not be the proper method for addressing a full version upgrade, and option D, while a valid upgrade method, is less efficient for this scenario compared to using Lifecycle Manager.
