Question 99 of 498
VCP-DCV vSphere Lifecycle Management Practice Question
A vSphere administrator is using vLCM and needs to ensure that all hosts are compliant with the desired image. Which TWO actions are valid when remediating a vLCM cluster?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates assume they can remediate only non-compliant hosts to save time, but vLCM enforces cluster-wide consistency by applying the same image to all hosts, even those already compliant, to prevent configuration drift.
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
✓
Perform a pre-remediation check to validate the image.
VLCM requires a pre-remediation check to validate that the desired image can be applied successfully to all hosts in the cluster. This check verifies hardware compatibility, driver versions, and firmware prerequisites before any remediation begins, preventing partial or failed updates.
