An administrator needs to determine if a cluster's ESXi hosts require an update to a specific patch level. Using vLCM, what is the most efficient way to assess the current state?

Use VAMI to check for host updates

Manually check each host's build number

Review the cluster image compliance status

Check the vCenter Update Planner report

An administrator needs to update vCenter Server from 7.0 to 7.0 Update 3. The update is available as an ISO. The administrator wants to minimize downtime and ensure the update can be rolled back if issues occur. What is the best approach?

Update directly without any backup, as updates are non-disruptive

Take a snapshot of the vCenter Server VM before applying the update

Back up the vCenter Server using the built-in backup feature before updating

Use the VAMI to install the update and rely on the built-in rollback feature

A vLCM-managed cluster has hosts that are non-compliant with the cluster image. What does this indicate?

The hosts need to be removed from the cluster

The hosts are running a different ESXi version than specified in the image

The hosts are healthy and up to date

What is the primary purpose of VMware vCenter Update Planner?

To monitor real-time performance metrics of vCenter Server

To identify upgrade opportunities and assess compatibility for vCenter Server upgrades

To manage the lifecycle of virtual machines, including snapshots and templates

To automate the installation of ESXi host patches across a cluster
