Why is vLCM image-based management particularly important for vSAN clusters?

It replaces the need for vSAN licensing

It ensures all hosts have the same ESXi version and drivers, which is critical for vSAN compatibility

It automatically configures vSAN storage policies

It manages vSAN health monitoring

A host profile was attached to a cluster to enforce a standard configuration. After a major network redesign, the profile is no longer relevant, and the administrator wants to stop applying it to the cluster without affecting the hosts' current settings. What should the administrator do?

Detach the host profile from the cluster.

Edit the host profile to remove all settings, then apply it.

Remediate the cluster to apply the profile, then detach it.

Delete the host profile from vCenter.

When should an administrator remediate a host with a baseline?

Before attaching the baseline to the host

When the host is being decommissioned

After scanning shows the host is non-compliant

What is the purpose of remediating a cluster with a vLCM image?

To bring all hosts in the cluster to the desired state defined by the image

To check the compliance of the cluster against the image

To remove the image from the cluster

To attach the image to the cluster

What does it mean to attach a host profile to a cluster?

The profile is associated with the cluster so that hosts can be checked for compliance against it

The profile is applied immediately to all hosts in the cluster

The profile is deleted from the cluster

The profile is exported to a file
