   A company has a VxRail cluster running vSphere 7.0 U3 with vSAN ESA enabled. They plan to add three new nodes to expand capacity. The new nodes are the same model as the existing nodes but have a newer BIOS version. What should the administrator do before starting the expansion?

   • AAdd the new nodes directly; VxRail automatically aligns firmware during expansion.
   • BDisable vSAN ESA on the existing cluster before adding the new nodes.
   • CUpdate the new nodes' BIOS to match the existing cluster's BIOS version.
   • DCreate a new vSphere cluster and migrate workloads before expanding.

   An organization has a VxRail cluster composed of E560F nodes. They want to add capacity and have E560 nodes available. What should the administrator do?

   • AAdd the E560 nodes to a separate cluster and use vSAN replication.
   • BAdd the E560 nodes; they are compatible as long as the vSAN version matches.
   • CDo not add the E560 nodes; expansion requires nodes of the same model as the existing cluster.
   • DUse the E560 nodes only if they are converted to all-flash configuration.
