Question 1
A vSphere administrator is reviewing a vSAN cluster's health in Skyline and notices a warning on the vSAN Health Score. The details indicate that while all components are currently online and functional, the HBA firmware for two hosts is not on the version recommended by the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). What is the most appropriate first step to remediate this issue without causing service disruption?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
The correct procedure is to address one host at a time to maintain cluster availability. Placing a host in maintenance mode with 'Ensure accessibility' is the standard, non-disruptive method for performing updates on a vSAN node. vSphere Lifecycle Manager is the designated tool for applying firmware and driver updates in a controlled manner based on HCL compliance.
