Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Manually export and import XML configurations for every device group.
Why it's wrong here
While possible, this does not integrate the management plane as required.
- ✗
Enable Panorama mode on SCM.
Why it's wrong here
SCM operates as a unified manager, not a Panorama clone.
- ✗
Re-register all managed firewalls directly to SCM via serial number.
Why it's wrong here
This would break existing management and is not the intended migration path.
- ✓
Run the SCM migration utility to map Panorama device groups to SCM containers.
Why this is correct
The migration tool is necessary to transition the hierarchy to SCM's container-based architecture.
