VMware Site Recovery Manager 8 Specialist — Question 28

Which two steps are mandatory before upgrading VMware Cloud Director appliances from 10.1 to 10.2? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Take a snapshot of the entire VCD appliances cluster.
• B. Take a snapshot of the primary VCD appliance.
• C. Take a snapshot of the standby VCD appliance.
• D. Change the database failover from Manual to Automatic.
• E. Change the database failover from Automatic to Manual.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Taking a snapshot of the entire VCD appliances cluster (Option A) ensures that you have a complete backup before the upgrade. Changing the database failover from Manual to Automatic (Option D) is necessary to ensure that the database can failover automatically in case of issues during the upgrade. The other options either focus on individual components or incorrect failover settings which are not required for the upgrade process.
