VCF 9.0 replaces legacy bring-up tooling with the VCF Installer, which provides a deployment wizard that validates configuration before bring-up. The guide describes: ''The deployment wizard validates your inputs... and displays errors and warnings if any.'' and that administrators ''Download and complete the planning and preparation workbook and have the information ready for validating inputs in the deployment wizard.''

While the workbook is used to collect information, the validation of those inputs is performed by the VCF Installer wizard prior to deployment. SDDC Manager is used after bring-up for lifecycle operations, and Cloud Builder is not used in VCF 9.0 deployments. Therefore, VCF Installer is the correct tool for collecting (via wizard prompts) and validating initial deployment inputs.

VCF 9.0 states for the Simple Automation model: ''Single node... Applies to Small... Can be scaled out to the high availability model by resizing the node to Medium or Large, which also forces the scale out to 3 nodes.'' In addition, the Day-N procedure confirms the action is a Scale (scale-out) operation: ''Scale VCF Automation... choose a larger target deployment type such as Medium or Large...'' and provide ''Additional VIPs'' and a ''Cluster Node IP Pool'' (Medium requires a minimum of four IPs), then submit the scale out request. Therefore, moving from Small (Simple) to Medium necessarily transitions to the High Availability (3-node) model rather than remaining a single medium node. This aligns the form factor with the documented model behavior and the fleet management workflow.

The VCF 9.0 Architecture Guide outlines valid principal storage options for the management domain. It states: ''The management domain must be deployed using vSAN, NFS, or Fibre Channel (FC). Supported protocols include NFSv3 and VMFS on FC.'' vSAN (including OSA) is the default recommended option, but NFSv3 and VMFS on FC are also supported for environments where external storage arrays are required.

NVMe/TCP and vVols are not supported for the initial management domain's principal storage. vVols may be used in workload domains after deployment, but they are not a supported foundation for the management domain. Therefore, the three correct storage solutions for the first management workload domain are: VMFS on FC, NFSv3, and vSAN OSA.
