The vCenter inventory contains a virtual machine (VM) template called Linux-01. The adminis-trator wants to install a software patch into Linux-01 while allowing users to continue to access Linux-01 to deploy VMs.
Which series of steps should the administrator take to accomplish this task?
To install a software patch into the Linux-01 VM template while allowing users to continue deploying VMs from it, the administrator should create a clone of the template to maintain the availability of the original template. The administrator should then convert the clone to a VM, apply the software patch, and finally convert the updated VM back to a new template. This ensures that the original template is still available for deployment during the patching process. Verifying whether the template is in a content library is not necessary as long as the cloning, patching, and reconversion steps are followed correctly.
No A -> Does not regenerate the template after applying the patches No B -> When converting the template to VM, the template is no longer available for vms deployment while the update is being done No C-> The procedure is correct, but the letter says that the template is in the vCenter inventory, but does not mention a content library. Yes D -> the procedure maintains the original template while the clone is updated and then regenerates a new template upon completion.
C - I believe is the best answer as the first step is to verify Linux-01 template is in CL. If it is those are the right steps to ensure the template is still usable for deployment while the checked out version is being patched. D -While it assumes there is no content library in this, the sequence can accomplish the task however you will end up with 2 Linux-01 templates; Linux-01 without patch, then another Lixnux-01%% name that contains the patched version. We dont want to do this otherwise it will become a challenge maintaining 2 templates - it defeats the purpose.
C - OK - if VMtemplate exist in ContL. then you can Check out then upgrade and Check in https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-0F4D55EF-B45C-43D6-8C8F-580D8B4B5009.html
C is correct Ref. https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2020/04/vsphere-7-content-library.html
I agree, the answer to support "C" is outlined in the Check-in/Check-out section
When you create a VM template in a content library, the library item is backed by a VM template in the vCenter Server inventory. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-vm-administration/GUID-E9EAF7AC-1C08-441A-AB80-0BAA1EAF9F0A.html
because the template is in the vcenter inventory not in the content library
answer is C keyword is "while allowing users to continue to access Linux-01 to deploy VMs"
Checkin checkout is the way
The vCenter inventory contains a virtual machine (VM) template called Linux-01 not in the content library
D has all the steps you need to have a second template while the other is still usable
A - No template ad end B - when converted template is not available fpr provision machines (https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-D632CAC5-BA5E-4A1E-959B-382D9ACB1DD0_copy.html= C Checkout does not provide a vm - only a template - so you can't install a patch D Makes sense - orginal teplate stays intact for provisioning, result is a second updated template
C is the correct answer. We can check out, convert to vm, update anything needed, power down then check in.
I also go for C, because it's always possible to add the vm into the content library.
Checkout converts a template to a VM, so you can install a patch. I like C.
I went for D, as there is no mention of a Content library. So cannot assume it is there.
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-vm-administration/GUID-D632CAC5-BA5E-4A1E-959B-382D9ACB1DD0_copy.html "Converting a template to a virtual machine (VM) does not make a copy. You convert a template to a VM to edit the template or if you do not need to preserve the VM as a golden image for deploying VMs." The question reads "...while allowing users to continue to access Linux-01 to deploy VMs" D is the correct answer
I go for D. When using checkout the template is not available. the question state --> while allowing users to continue to access Linux-01 to deploy VMs.
The correct answers seems to be C because if you see a template in the vcenter inventory it doesn't mean that is not on a library. If you have a library and a template on it you can also see the template from the vcenter inventory- templates
When managing VM Templates in a Content Library, you perform a 'Check Out VM from VM Template' operation to make changes to the Template. This is needed if, for example, you need to perform guest OS or any OS application updates, or make any other configuration changes. This process is analogous to the 'Convert to Virtual Machine...' operation on regular vCenter Server Template objects. When you are done with making any changes, you perform a 'Check in VM' operation; again, analogous to a 'Convert to Template' operation
It is stated that the administrator must install a patch INTO Linux-01. So the idea is to update the template, and not to create a new one. So answers B and D do not work. The answer A is not the right process to update a template. Answer C is correct : you checkout the template (which generates a VM), your modify the VM, and you checkin it.
Difficult question - the question doesnt mention any CL but the procedure makes the most sense. ill go with C
