In the context of upgrading a non-internet connected vSAN environment using vLCM, the appropriate option is to configure the vSphere Lifecycle Manager to download updates from a local UMDS-shared repository. UMDS (Update Manager Download Service) allows downloading updates, patches, and metadata from an internet-connected environment, which can then be transferred to the non-internet connected vSAN environment. This method supports the necessary updates without requiring direct internet access.
C. Configure the vSphere Lifecycle Manager to download updates from a local UMDS (Update Manager Download Service)-shared repository. The Update Manager Download Service (UMDS) allows you to download updates, patches, and metadata from the internet-connected vCenter Server and then use it in your non-internet connected environment. You would set up a local UMDS-shared repository to host the update files, and vLCM can then use this local repository to perform the upgrade.
