VMware Exam 5V0-22.21 Topic 12 Question 50 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 5V0-22.21 exam
Question #: 50
Topic #: 12
[All 5V0-22.21 Questions]

A vSAN administrator is looking forward to managing hypervisor, server drivers, and firmware all in one cluster image using vLCM. The vSAN administrator edits the desired Image and selects the desired ESXi version and Vendor Addon but is unable to add any firmware.

Why is there no firmware available to add to the image?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In order for firmware addons to be available, the administrator must first deploy the server vendor Hardware Support Manager (HSM) and import the appropriate server vendor bundle. This is explained in detail in the VMware documentation, specifically in the section titled 'Deploy the Hardware Support Manager' in the 'Using vSphere Lifecycle Manager' document.

It's also possible that since the hosts are managed by vSphere Update Manager, firmware updates are restricted.

Or maybe the administrator needs to first deploy the server vendor Hardware Support Manager and import the appropriate server vendor bundle to enable firmware addons.

I believe another reason could be that the vCenter server version is older and doesn't support firmware addons.

That makes sense. If all hosts are already up to date, there would be no need to add firmware to the image.

I think the firmware may not be available because all hosts already have the latest firmware.

I heard that in order to add firmware, you need to deploy the server vendor Hardware Support Manager first.

Or maybe the vCenter server version is not compatible with vLCM for firmware addons.

That makes sense. If that's the case, vLCM wouldn't have any firmware to add.

Maybe all hosts in the cluster already have the latest firmware installed.

I wonder why I can't add firmware to the image using vLCM.
