Administrative and Operational Tasks

A vSAN administrator wants to manage the hypervisor, server drivers, and firmware in a single cluster image by using vLCM. The administrator edits the desired image and chooses the intended ESXi version and Vendor Add-on, but cannot add any disk firmware.

Why is no firmware available to add to the image?

  • A The hosts listed in the cluster is managed by a vSphere Update Manager, so firmware updates are not possible.
  • B The vCenter server version is older than 7.0, and as a result, vLCM does not support firmware add-ons.
  • C All hosts in the cluster have the most current firmware installed already, and as a result, vLCM has no firmware to add to the image.
  • D The administrator must first deploy the server vendor Hardware Support Manager (HSM) and import the appropriate server vendor bundle.
Explanation

vSphere Lifecycle Manager obtains firmware packages through a registered server-vendor Hardware Support Manager (HSM), rather than from the ESXi version or Vendor Add-on alone. Deploying the HSM and importing the applicable vendor bundle makes the firmware available for inclusion in the desired cluster image.
