An administrator is tasked with upgrading an existing vSphere environment to version 7.0. The environment consists of mounted NFS v3 datastores. The new design requires configuration of NFS v4.1 datastores.
Which statement is true regarding this upgrade?
When upgrading from NFS v3 to NFS v4.1 in a vSphere environment, the correct approach is to unmount the existing NFS v3 datastores and remount them using NFS v4.1. This process ensures that the storage protocol is correctly configured for the new NFS version. The new protocol includes enhanced features and security benefits over the previous version. Therefore, the correct method is to unmount the existing datastores and remount them using the desired NFS version.
None of these are correct answers for this question!
ESXi does not support automatic datastore conversions from NFS version 3 to NFS 4.1. If you want to upgrade your NFS 3 datastore, the following options are available: Create the NFS 4.1 datastore, and then use Storage vMotion to migrate virtual machines from the old datastore to the new one. Use conversion methods provided by your NFS storage server. For more information, contact your storage vendor. Unmount the NFS 3 datastore, and then mount as NFS 4.1 datastore. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-8A929FE4-1207-4CC5-A086-7016D73C328F.html

D is correct! https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-7552DAD4-1809-4687-B46E-ED9BB42CE277.html
A is Correct
The NFS v3 datastores can be unmounted and remounted using NFS v4.1. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-8A929FE4-1207-4CC5-A086-7016D73C328F.html?hWord=N4IghgNiBcIHIDEDKACAbgZhQEzAFzAGc8B7AJwFNCUBjMAOxQCMKUBXegWxI7wuxABfIA
