An administrator is upgrading multiple vSAN Witness nodes with vLCM (single image management) that are used for vSAN Stretched and two-node Clusters.
What two witness node types can the administrator upgrade? (Choose two.)

When upgrading vSAN Witness nodes with vLCM, the two witness node types that can be upgraded are the appliance witness node and the dedicated witness node. The physical witness node and shared witness node are not supported for upgrades using vLCM. The appliance witness node is specifically designed for such environments, and the dedicated witness node ensures that there is no resource sharing with other workloads, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of vSAN Stretched and two-node clusters.
A and D is correct anwers
A D. To use images, the witness cannot be physical or shared. It must be dedicated or virtual appliance. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere-lifecycle-manager.doc/GUID-F84F1FC8-FBA8-4E4E-845F-40F423CBEEC8.html
A & D are correct https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere-lifecycle-manager.doc/GUID-F84F1FC8-FBA8-4E4E-845F-40F423CBEEC8.html
vLCM can monitor and upgrade vSAN stretched and Two-Node clusters. vCLM has the following features for stretched and Two-Node clusters: • Supports the lifecycle of a witness appliance • Performs witness node upgrade first, then upgrades the rest of the cluster • Supports witness node appliances only (physical witness host not supported) • Supports dedicated witness node, does not support shared witness node
Witness appliance - supported withness node appliance - supported Physical witness host not supported Dedicated witness node, does not support shared witness nod
Correct Answer is A&E Starting with vSphere 7.0 Update 3, you can use vSphere Lifecycle Manager images to manage a vSAN stretched cluster and its witness host. The following requirements exist: vCenter Server must be version 7.0 Update 3 and later. The witness host must be ESXi version 7.0 Update 2 and later. The witness host must be a virtual server and not a physical server. The witness host must be a dedicated witness host and not a shared witness host.
Typo in the answer choice earlier - Correct Answer is A&D

A vSAN Witness Appliance, or a physical host, can be used for the Witness function. The vSAN Witness Appliance includes licensing, while a physical host must be licensed accordingly. https://infohub.delltechnologies.com/l/planning-guide-dell-emc-vxrail-7-0-vsan-stretched-cluster-1/witness-host-5/
Correction - Answer is A and D https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere-lifecycle-manager.doc/GUID-F84F1FC8-FBA8-4E4E-845F-40F423CBEEC8.html To remediate the witness host against the vSphere Lifecycle Manager cluster image, the following requirements exist: vCenter Server must be version 7.0 Update 3 and later. The witness host must be ESXi version 7.0 Update 2 and later. The witness host must be a virtual server and not a physical server. The witness host must be a dedicated witness host and not a shared witness host.
