QuestionQ73

Installing, Configuring, and Setup

A vSAN administrator in a vSAN environment without internet connectivity wants to upgrade the environment from vSAN 7.0 U3 to vSAN 8.0 by using vLCM.

Which option, if any, should be used as the depot in this situation?

  • A Configure the vSphere Lifecycle Manager to download the updates from an Online Depot.
  • B Configure the vSphere Lifecycle Manager to download the updates from the VMware Depot using HTTPS.
  • C Configure the vSphere Lifecycle Manager to download updates from a local UMDS-shared repository.
  • D It is not possible to use the vSphere Lifecycle Manager on a non-internet connected environment.
Explanation

For an isolated vSphere/vSAN deployment, vSphere Lifecycle Manager can obtain update content from a shared repository created with VMware Update Manager Download Service (UMDS). This provides a local source for lifecycle updates without requiring the vCenter Server to access VMware’s online depot.
