An administrator is tasked with upgrading an existing VMware vSphere 6.5 environment to version 7.0.
There are existing VMFS3 and VMFS5 datastores in the environment.

VMFS3 is no longer supported with ESXi 7.0, meaning that any existing VMFS3 datastores will need to be upgraded or migrated to a newer format. Conversely, VMFS5 remains supported with ESXi 7.0, allowing its continued use without mandatory upgrades. Additionally, a VMFS3 datastore cannot be upgraded directly to VMFS6; instead, a new VMFS6 datastore must be created, and then data must be migrated from the old datastore to the new one.
B and D are Correct https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-DAD74662-E09E-44A4-82F1-DB7A3433CEF9.html
VMFS3 is NOT automatically upgrade. For me BE
My Bad. Correct for is BC VMFS3 Datastores ESXi no longer supports VMFS3 datastores. The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores
Then, the right answer is BD
you are absolutely right : VMFS3 Datastores ESXi no longer supports VMFS3 datastores. The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores. The host performs the upgrade operation in the following circumstances: At the first boot after an upgrade to ESXi 7.0 or later, when the host mounts all discovered VMFS3 datastores. When you manually mount the VMFS3 datastores that are discovered after the boot, or mount persistently unmounted datastores.
B and D A is false C is also false as you cannot upgrade VMFS 5 to VMFS 6 E is also false as you can very much upgrade VMFS 3 to VMFS 5 That leaves B and D (B is also a bit wrong, just less wrong than the others as in you can use VMFS 3 but cannot create VMFS 3 in ESXi 7)
I think they wrong to write the E Answer, they should have written : "A VMFS5 datastore cannot be upgraded; a new VMFS6 datastore is required" only in this case the answer E would be correct
The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores. However that is due to ESXi no longer supporting VMFS3 which is where this confusion is tied. You cannot upgrade a VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6, this must be migrated from one datastore to another IE the example provided VMFS5 to VMFS6. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-DAD74662-E09E-44A4-82F1-DB7A3433CEF9.html
B and D are Correct Passed 500/500 Today 1-Dec-22
B and D are correct. ESXi no longer supports VMFS3 datastores. The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-DAD74662-E09E-44A4-82F1-DB7A3433CEF9.html
You can upgrade a VMFS3 datastore but not a VMFS 5 datastore. VMFS3 is no longer supported in vSphere 7, but VMFS5 is. Therefore B and D are correct
BD is Correct

agree with eid
B and D are the correct answers Reference https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-DAD74662-E09E-44A4-82F1-DB7A3433CEF9.html
Completed exam?, How many questions were came from this dump, Any idea ?
B and D are correct
BD are correct
B & D are correct https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-DAD74662-E09E-44A4-82F1-DB7A3433CEF9.html

Okay so from this link: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-DAD74662-E09E-44A4-82F1-DB7A3433CEF9.html ESXi no longer supports VMFS3 datastores. The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores. - This statement confuses a lot! it might be VMFS6 instead.. because what's the use of upgrading to VMFS5? when they say that If you have a VMFS5 datastore in your environment, create a VMFS6 datastore and migrate virtual machines from the VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6.
Answer is B and D
