An administrator is tasked with upgrading an existing vSphere environment to version 7.0. There are existing VMFS3 and VMFS5 datastores in the environment. Which statement is true regarding this upgrade?
A.
An ESXi 7.0 host will NOT recognize a VMFS3 datastore.
B.
VMFS3 is supported with ESXi 7.0 to store boot configurations only.
C.
A VMFS5 datastore CANNOT be upgraded; a new VMFS6 datastore is required.
D.
An ESXi 7.0 host can automatically upgrade a VMFS5 datastore.
Given answer is correct.
You cannot upgrade a VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6. If you have a VMFS5 datastore in your environment, create a VMFS6 datastore and migrate virtual machines from the VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6.
ESXi no longer supports VMFS3 datastores. The ESXi host automatically upgrades VMFS3 to VMFS5 when mounting existing datastores.
"VMFS5 Datastores
You cannot upgrade a VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6. If you have a VMFS5 datastore in your environment, create a VMFS6 datastore and migrate virtual machines from the VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6."
