An administrator has a vSphere 8.0 environment that is not presently running NSX.

How can the administrator converge this vSphere 8 environment into a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) management domain?

  • A Manually upgrade the vSphere 8.0 environment to version 9.0 and use the VCF installer to converge the vSphere 9.0 environment into a new VCF instance.
  • B Manually upgrade the vSphere 8.0 environment to version 9.0 and manually install NSX 9.x and use the VCF installer to converge the vSphere 9.0 with NSX 9.0 environment into a new VCF instance.
  • C Manually upgrade the vSphere 8.0 environment to version 9.0 and use VCF Operations to converge the vSphere 9.0 environment into a new VCF instance.
  • D Manually install NSX 9 into the vSphere 8.0 environment and use the VCF installer to converge the vSphere 8.0 with NSX 9.0 environment into a new VCF instance.
Explanation

To create a new VCF instance by converging an existing vSphere environment into its management domain, use the VCF Installer after upgrading the vSphere environment to the required vSphere 9.0 level. When NSX is not already deployed, the convergence process deploys the required NSX component. A standalone manual installation of NSX 9.x is supported only as part of a VCF 9.x installation, not as a separate prerequisite.
