Exam 2V0-21.23 topic 1 question 95 discussion

No A -> Does not regenerate the template after applying the patches No B -> When converting the template to VM, the template is no longer available for vms deployment while the update is being done No C-> The procedure is correct, but the letter says that the template is in the vCenter inventory, but does not mention a content library. Yes D -> the procedure maintains the original template while the clone is updated and then regenerates a new template upon completion.

I go for D

Selected Answer: C In vSphere 7.0 and later, you can edit the contents of the VM templates by checking them out, making the necessary changes, and checking them in. You can track history of changes over time by using the vertical timeline view. The vertical timeline view provides you with detailed information about the different VM template versions, the updates that privileged users have made, and when the last change was made. By using the vertical timeline, you can revert VM templates back to their previous state or delete the previous version of a VM template. In addition, you can deploy a virtual machine from the latest version of the VM template without any disruptions while it is checked out for update. You can update the virtual machine and check it back in into the same VM template.

C based on the message that the VM template already exist

I went for D, as there is no mention of a Content library. So cannot assume it is there.

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-vm-administration/GUID-D632CAC5-BA5E-4A1E-959B-382D9ACB1DD0_copy.html "Converting a template to a virtual machine (VM) does not make a copy. You convert a template to a VM to edit the template or if you do not need to preserve the VM as a golden image for deploying VMs." The question reads "...while allowing users to continue to access Linux-01 to deploy VMs" D is the correct answer

I go for D. When using checkout the template is not available. the question state --> while allowing users to continue to access Linux-01 to deploy VMs.

The correct answers seems to be C because if you see a template in the vcenter inventory it doesn't mean that is not on a library. If you have a library and a template on it you can also see the template from the vcenter inventory- templates

When managing VM Templates in a Content Library, you perform a 'Check Out VM from VM Template' operation to make changes to the Template. This is needed if, for example, you need to perform guest OS or any OS application updates, or make any other configuration changes. This process is analogous to the 'Convert to Virtual Machine...' operation on regular vCenter Server Template objects. When you are done with making any changes, you perform a 'Check in VM' operation; again, analogous to a 'Convert to Template' operation

It is stated that the administrator must install a patch INTO Linux-01. So the idea is to update the template, and not to create a new one. So answers B and D do not work. The answer A is not the right process to update a template. Answer C is correct : you checkout the template (which generates a VM), your modify the VM, and you checkin it.

Difficult question - the question doesnt mention any CL but the procedure makes the most sense. ill go with C

C is correct Ref. https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2020/04/vsphere-7-content-library.html

answer is C keyword is "while allowing users to continue to access Linux-01 to deploy VMs"

When you create a VM template in a content library, the library item is backed by a VM template in the vCenter Server inventory. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-vm-administration/GUID-E9EAF7AC-1C08-441A-AB80-0BAA1EAF9F0A.html

C - I believe is the best answer as the first step is to verify Linux-01 template is in CL. If it is those are the right steps to ensure the template is still usable for deployment while the checked out version is being patched. D -While it assumes there is no content library in this, the sequence can accomplish the task however you will end up with 2 Linux-01 templates; Linux-01 without patch, then another Lixnux-01%% name that contains the patched version. We dont want to do this otherwise it will become a challenge maintaining 2 templates - it defeats the purpose.

because the template is in the vcenter inventory not in the content library

Checkin checkout is the way
