Which THREE are valid methods to remediate ESXi hosts using vSphere Lifecycle Manager? (Select THREE.)
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
✓
Stage and remediate
The correct answers are C, D, and E. vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) supports three standard remediation methods: staging updates and then remediating (Stage and remediate), remediating immediately without staging (Remediate immediately), and scheduling remediation for a later time (Schedule remediation). 'Auto update' and 'Push from vCenter' are not valid vLCM remediation methods. Auto update is not a feature of vLCM, and push-based remediation is not how vLCM operates; vLCM uses a desired-state model.
Answer analysis

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Auto update
Why it's wrong here
There is no 'auto update' method; remediation is always initiated manually or via schedule.

Push from vCenter
Why it's wrong here
'Push' is not a term used in vLCM; remediation is performed on the host.
- ✓

Staging downloads the image first, then remediation applies it.
