VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 84

What is the correct upgrade order for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) components for a VI workload domain with a stretched vSAN cluster?

Answer options

• A. 1. NSX-T 2. vCenter Server 3. ESXi hosts 4. vSAN Witness host
• B. 1. vCenter Server 2. NSX-T 3. ESXi hosts 4. vSAN Witness host
• C. 1. vSAN witness host 2. NSX-T 3. ESXi hosts 4. vCenter Server
• D. 1. vSAN witness host 2. NSX-T 3. vCenter Server 4. ESXi hosts

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct sequence is essential for a successful upgrade, starting with NSX-T to ensure network services are available, followed by upgrading vCenter Server to manage the environment, then the ESXi hosts, and finally the vSAN Witness host. The other options do not follow the recommended upgrade path, which can lead to service disruptions or compatibility issues.
