   An administrator is writing a script to manage VxRail clusters. The script needs to list all clusters, retrieve details for a specific cluster, and update the cluster name. The administrator wants to use the correct HTTP methods and endpoints. Which set of API calls should the script use?

   • AGET /v1/clusters, GET /v1/clusters/{clusterId}, and PUT /v1/clusters/{clusterId}
   • BPOST /v1/clusters, GET /v1/clusters/{clusterId}, and POST /v1/clusters/{clusterId}
   • CGET /v1/clusters, POST /v1/clusters/{clusterId}, and DELETE /v1/clusters/{clusterId}
   • DPUT /v1/clusters, GET /v1/clusters/{clusterId}, and PUT /v1/clusters/{clusterId}

   An organization is running VxRail version 7.0.410 and has a monitoring script that calls the /v1/cluster endpoint. After a planned upgrade to VxRail 8.0, the script starts failing with HTTP 404 errors. The administrator checks the API documentation and finds that the endpoint was deprecated and removed in version 8.0. What is the most appropriate course of action?

   • AModify the script to use the /v1/clusters endpoint with a POST method to retrieve cluster information.
   • BContact Dell support to request that the deprecated endpoint be re-enabled in version 8.0.
   • CRevert the VxRail appliance to version 7.0.410 to restore compatibility with the script.
   • DUpdate the script to use the new /v2/clusters endpoint that replaces the deprecated /v1/cluster endpoint.

   An organization has a large fleet of VxRail appliances running different versions, including 7.0.x and 8.0.x. The administrator is developing a central management script that must work with all appliances. The script currently uses the /v1/cluster endpoint, which is deprecated in version 8.0. What is the best way to handle this in the script?

   • AUse only the /v1/cluster endpoint and ignore any errors on version 8.0 appliances.
   • BUpgrade all appliances to version 8.0 to standardize the API endpoints.
   • CCheck the API version of each appliance and use the appropriate endpoint (/v1/cluster for 7.0.x and /v2/clusters for 8.0.x).
   • DUse the /v2/clusters endpoint for all appliances, as it is backward-compatible.
