VCP-DCV vSphere Lifecycle Management Practice Question
A vLCM image is configured, but remediation fails with error: 'Image compliance check failed. Host does not have required add-on.' What should the administrator check first?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
That the add-on is downloaded in the vLCM depot.
The error indicates the host is missing a required add-on. The first thing to check is whether the add-on is downloaded and available in the vLCM depot (option B). The add-on must be present in the depot for the host to remediate. Checking the vCenter Service (A) is not directly related to the add-on error. Internet access (D) is not required for add-ons already in the depot, and memory (C) is not the primary issue here.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
That the vCenter Service is running.
Why it's wrong here
If vCenter were down, remediation would not be attempted.
- ✓
That the add-on is downloaded in the vLCM depot.
Why this is correct
If the add-on is not in the depot, hosts cannot install it.
- ✗
That the host has sufficient memory for the add-on.
Why it's wrong here
Memory is not a typical cause for a missing add-on error.
- ✗
That the host has internet access to download the add-on.
Why it's wrong here
vLCM can use a local depot; internet is not mandatory.

- ✓ B.Check network connectivity between vCenter and the host.
- C.Restart the vLCM service.
