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.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Perform a pre-remediation check to validate the image.
Why this is correct
vLCM validates the image before applying it.
- ✗
Remediate without putting hosts into maintenance mode.
Why it's wrong here
Maintenance mode is required for updates that need reboot.
- ✗
Remediate only hosts that are non-compliant.
Why it's wrong here
vLCM remediates all hosts in the cluster.
- ✓
Use Quick Boot to minimize host reboot time.
Why this is correct
Quick Boot can reduce reboot time during remediation.
- ✗
Remediate the cluster even if there are compliance issues.
Why it's wrong here
