VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2020) — Question 55

An administrator is tasked with preparing hosts for the deployment of a new workload domain in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment. The ESXi hosts have GPUs that require the installation of a separate VMware Installation Bundle (VIB).
Which imaging method must the administrator use to ensure the full functionality of these new hosts?

Answer options

• A. VMware vSphere Auto Deploy
• B. VMware Imaging Appliance
• C. Manual installation using the base ISO from VMware
• D. VMware SDDC Manager

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the VMware Imaging Appliance is specifically designed to handle the installation of VIBs, ensuring that the GPUs function correctly. Options A and D are more suited for different deployment scenarios and do not provide the necessary support for VIB installations. Option C, while valid for other installations, does not cater to the special requirements of GPU support in this context.
