VCP-DCV vSphere Lifecycle Management Practice Question
A vSphere environment uses vLCM with a desired state model. A host is non-compliant because it has a different firmware version. What is the correct way to remediate?
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
✓
Import a new image with correct firmware
VLCM uses images that include firmware components; importing a new image with the correct firmware will enforce compliance. Other options are either manual or revert to older methods.
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 update firmware from vendor
Why it's wrong here
Manual updates are not recommended as they bypass vLCM's desired state and compliance checks.
- ✗
Use a baseline to enforce firmware
Why it's wrong here
Baselines are a legacy feature; vLCM does not use baselines for firmware management.
- ✓
Import a new image with correct firmware
Why this is correct
vLCM cluster images can include firmware add-ons; importing a new image with the correct firmware and remediating will fix compliance.
- ✗
Disable vLCM and use Update Manager
Why it's wrong here
Disabling vLCM would revert to an older model and is not a best practice.
