What is a vLCM image?

A backup of the ESXi host configuration

A specification of the desired ESXi version, patches, and components for a cluster

What is the purpose of scanning a host against an attached baseline?

To determine if the host is compliant with the baseline

To remove the baseline from the host

To apply the patches to the host

To attach the baseline to the host

After scanning a host against a baseline, what does a 'Non-compliant' status indicate?

The host has too many patches installed

The baseline is not attached to the host

The host is not connected to vCenter

The host is missing one or more patches from the baseline

A vSAN cluster is being managed with vLCM images. The administrator needs to update the firmware on the storage controllers and also upgrade ESXi to a newer version. What is the recommended approach?

Upgrade ESXi manually on each host, then update firmware using the vendor's tool.

Create a vLCM image that includes the ESXi version and the required firmware/driver components, attach it to the cluster, and remediate.

Use a baseline to update the firmware first, then use another baseline to upgrade ESXi.

Detach the vSAN cluster from vLCM and use vCenter Update Manager for the upgrade.

Which action is performed when you 'Apply' a host profile to a host?

The host is removed from the cluster

The profile's configuration is pushed to the host

The profile is attached to the host

The host is checked for compliance against the profile
