An administrator using a dark site deployment for LCM is attempting to upgrade to the latest BIOS.
After completing an inventory scan, the administrator does not see the expected BIOS version available for upgrade.
What is the most likely reason the latest BIOS is not shown?
In a dark site deployment, LCM does not automatically fetch updates from the internet. The administrator must manually upload compatibility bundles.
Option B (The latest compatibility bundle has not been uploaded) is correct:
The compatibility bundle contains firmware mappings, allowing LCM to detect the correct BIOS version.
Option A is incorrect:
AOS does not need to be upgraded first for a BIOS update.
Option C is incorrect:
The BMC firmware does not always need updating before BIOS updates.
Option D is incorrect:
In a dark site deployment, LCM does not rely on an internet connection, so webserver access is not required.
