A company has engaged a consultant to upgrade an existing vSAN cluster to vSAN 7.0 U1.

During the discovery phase, the consultant found the following information about the existing environment:

* The VMware vCenter Server has recently been upgraded from VMware vSphere 6.7 U3 to version 7.0 U1.

* The vSAN Cluster was recently expanded with identical hardware specification, but from a different hardware vendor.

* The hardware for each vSAN node is listed on the vSAN Compatibility Guide (VCG) for vSAN 7.

* The vSAN Cluster has the following configuration:

- vSAN version: 6.6.1

- Number of vSAN nodes: 10

- Encryption: enabled

- Deduplication and Compression: enabled

- vSAN Capacity Utilization: 60%

* Each vSAN node has the following configuration:

- VMware vSphere ESXi version: 6.5 Update 3

- CPU: 2 processors, 20 cores

- RAM: 768GB RAM.

- Disk: 2 Cache SSDs and 6 Capacity SSDs

- Network: 4 x 10GbE

Which three recommendations should the consultant make to ensure all data remains protected in the event of a vSAN failure? (Choose three.)

I vaguely recall something about using vLCM for upgrades, but I can't remember if it was host upgrade baselines or images that were emphasized.

I practiced a similar question where upgrading to the latest ESXi version was recommended, so I feel confident that upgrading to vSphere ESXi 7.0 U1 is necessary.

I think the Ensure accessibility option might be safer since it allows for some level of access during the upgrade, but I need to double-check that.

The use of vSphere Lifecycle Manager for the upgrade process is interesting. I'll need to familiarize myself with that tool and how it can help manage the upgrade.

I remember learning about this in my auditing class. I think the correct answer is C - bank confirmation. Verifying outstanding checks is part of the bank confirmation procedure.
