VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2020) — Question 8

An administrator is preparing to image several hosts using the VMware Imaging Appliance. The appliance has been modified with an additional virtual network interface (eth1), which is connected to the same untagged L2 network as the servers which will be imaged.
The original interface (eth0) is connected to a routable network, which is reachable from the administrator's desktop.
Which action must the administrator take to allow for successful host imaging?

Answer options

• A. Update the via.properties on the VMware Imaging Appliance
• B. Ensure the networks connected to eth0 and eth1 are routable
• C. Configure a dedicated DHCP server on the untagged imaging network
• D. Move all the servers to a VLAN-backed network

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because updating the via.properties file is essential for the VMware Imaging Appliance to recognize the new network interface configuration. Options B, C, and D do not address the specific requirement of configuring the imaging appliance itself to work with the new interface.
