VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 124

A VMware administrator, who works for the U.S defense department, has been asked to upgrade the VMware Cloud Foundation software in a secure location. Due to security concerns, the VCF environment does not have any internet access.

The administrator can connect a laptop to the SDDC manager network but is not allowed to carry any storage media into the facility. To complete this work, the administrator has been given access to a network port where the laptop can be connected for internet access.

Which steps can the administrator follow to download the latest VCF software bundles?

Answer options

• A. 1. Download the latest VCF software bundles on the laptop. 2. Copy the bundles to SDDC manager using file sharing.
• B. 1. Download all required OVAs onto the laptop. 2. Copy them to a USB drive. 3. Attach the drive to the SDDC manager appliance.
• C. 1. Copy the bundle transfer utility from SDDC manager onto the laptop. 2. Use the utility to download the latest software bundles for the upgrade. 3. Copy the bundles to SDDC manager using file sharing.
• D. 1. Download the latest bundle transfer utility from myvmware.com. 2. Use the utility to download the latest software bundles for the upgrade. 3. Copy the bundles to SDDC manager using file sharing.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it correctly describes the process of downloading the bundle transfer utility from myvmware.com, which is necessary for obtaining the latest software bundles. Options A, B, and C are incorrect since they either involve methods of transferring files that are not permitted due to security constraints or do not utilize the bundle transfer utility needed for the upgrade.
