After running an LCM inventory, it is noticed that there are a number of firmware and software updates available. The administrator would like to avoid any host reboots, but would like to apply some of the available updates.
Which two updates can be done while avoiding a host reboot? (Choose two.)
To apply updates without causing a host reboot, focus on those components that do not require a system restart. Updating data drives involves changes that typically do not necessitate a host reboot, as they are usually designed to handle updates or replacements transparently. The AOS (Acropolis Operating System) updates also avoid host reboots; their updates typically require a rolling CVM (Controller VM) reboot, not a host reboot. Conversely, changes to M.2 drives, which often serve as boot drives, and updates to AHV (Acropolis Hypervisor) typically require reboots to take effect. Therefore, updating Data Drives and AOS are the correct choices for avoiding host reboots.
Correct answer is A and C: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000LKMKCA4 I assume M2 drive are considered as the boot ones (by opposition to Data drives. Anyway AOS does not require reboot
Looking at the link, it's A C
It's A and C
A & D are correct as per https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000LKMKCA4
Your own reference shows AHV requires a host reboot.
Its A and C.
It's A and C. Just do not confuse CVM reboot, which occurs in AOS update, with Node reboot that happens when you are upgrading the AHV.
