The vCenter inventory contains a virtual machine (VM) template called Linux-01. The administrator wants to install a software patch into Linux-01 while allowing users to continue to access Linux-01 to deploy VMs. Which series of steps should the administrator take to accomplish this task?

A1. Verify that Linux-01 is in a content library
2. Clone Linux-01
3. Convert the clone to a VM
4. Install the software patch.

B1. Convert Linux-01 to a VM
2 Install the software patch
3 Convert the VM back to a VM template
4 Add Linux-01 to the content library.

C1. Verify that Linux-01 is in a content library
2. Checkout Linux-01
3. Install the software patch
4.Check in Linux-01

D1. Clone Linux-01.
2. Convert the clone to a VM
3. Install the software patch.
4. Convert the VM back to a template.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The administrator should clone Linux-01, which creates a copy of the virtual machine template. The administrator should then convert the clone to a VM, which allows the administrator to power on and modify the virtual machine. The administrator should then install the software patch on the VM, which updates the application. The administrator should then convert the VM back to a template, which preserves the changes made to the VM and allows users to deploy VMs from it.

Option D seems a bit convoluted. All that cloning and converting, sounds like a lot of work. C is the clear winner - simple and effective, just the way I like it.

Haha, option A sounds like a lot of unnecessary steps. Why clone and convert when you can just checkout the template? Not rocket science, folks!

Oh, this is a good one. I was thinking B, but C makes more sense. Who needs extra VMs and conversions when you can just check it out, fix it, and check it back in?

I agree, C is the way to go. Keeps the template intact and allows users to continue deploying VMs while the patch is applied. Neat and tidy!

Because cloning Linux-01 first allows us to keep the original template intact while applying the patch.
