VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2020) — Question 6

Which statement is correct about the VMware Cloud Foundation upgrade process?

Answer options

• A. Management Domain must be upgraded first before any Workload Domain
• B. The ESXi hosts must be upgraded using VMware generic ESXi image; customized OEM images can't be used
• C. Upgrade bundles must be manually downloaded and uploaded to vCenter Server.
• D. Hosted workloads must be shut down as the upgrade process requires hosts reboots.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because the upgrade process requires the Management Domain to be upgraded before any Workload Domains can be addressed. Option B is incorrect as customized OEM images may be used. Option C is false because upgrade bundles can also be obtained through other means, not just manual downloads. Option D is misleading as not all workloads need to be shut down during the upgrade process.
