   A company is deploying a new cluster with DPUs for the Distributed Services Engine. The network team wants to ensure that the DPU services are highly available and that a failure of one DPU does not impact the network connectivity of VMs. What should the administrator configure to meet this requirement?

   • AConfigure the Distributed Services Engine with multiple DPUs and enable failover at the vSphere Distributed Switch level.
   • BUse a physical switch with redundant uplinks to the DPU.
   • CUse a single DPU with a high-speed connection to the network.
   • DConfigure the ESXi host to use the hypervisor for networking services as a fallback.

   A vSphere administrator manages a 12-host cluster running mixed ESXi versions (7.0 and 8.0). The team wants to standardize the cluster on ESXi 8.0 with a specific vendor driver version that is listed in the vSphere Hardware Compatibility Guide (HCL). The administrator must ensure that every host ends up with the exact same software and firmware state, and future updates should be managed as a single desired state rather than individual patches. Which approach should the administrator use?

   • AUse vLCM to import the vendor's offline bundle and apply it to each host individually via the host's firmware baseline.
   • BUpgrade each host manually using the ESXi 8.0 ISO, then install the vendor driver via esxcli after the upgrade.
   • CCreate a cluster image that includes ESXi 8.0 and the vendor add-on, then remediate the cluster against that image.
   • DAttach a baseline group containing the ESXi 8.0 upgrade baseline and a vendor add-on baseline to the cluster, then remediate.
