VCP-VVF Deploy Configure And Operate Vvf Practice Question
An administrator is reviewing a cluster image compliance failure in vLCM. The error states that a specific VIB included in the vendor add-on has a dependency conflict with an independently installed driver on the ESXi host. How should the administrator remediate this conflict?
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
✓
Remove the conflicting independent VIB from the image specification or update the vendor add-on to a version that resolves the dependency tree.
When vLCM detects dependency conflicts between custom VIBs and vendor add-ons, the administrator must either remove the conflicting independent VIB from the host image specification or update the image to include a vendor add-on that supersedes or correctly replaces the conflicting component.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Upgrade vCenter Server to the next major release to automatically purge conflicting VIBs.
Why it's wrong here
Upgrading vCenter does not resolve cluster-level hardware driver dependency conflicts.
- ✗
Disable vLCM image enforcement and revert the cluster to legacy baseline mode via the ESXi command line.
Why it's wrong here
Baselines cannot be mixed with image-based clusters, and reverting bypasses the root cause.
- ✓
Remove the conflicting independent VIB from the image specification or update the vendor add-on to a version that resolves the dependency tree.
Why this is correct
vLCM image specifications must be cohesive; resolving VIB conflicts requires aligning the image components without orphaned conflicting drivers.
- ✗
Manually delete the VIB file from /var/lib/vmware/vlcmlib/ on each ESXi host using SSH.
Why it's wrong here
Manually modifying host file systems corrupts the vLCM desired state database and is unsupported.
