Question
On the VCMP system, a BIG-IP host administrator imports a new ISO image into the host's /shared/images folder. The new ISO images that reside on the vCMP host are available for installation on the guest. How should the BIG-IP Administrator install one image from within the guest?
Options
- AInstall the new software on the host and wait for it to automatically be installed on all guests.
- BRun the following command on guest
- CRun the following command on guest

Why each option
On a vCMP system, a BIG-IP Administrator must install an ISO image onto a guest by initiating the action from the vCMP host, as the host manages guest software provisioning.
While the image is on the host, installations on guests are not automatic; they require explicit administrator action on the host for each guest.
Guests typically do not independently initiate software installations from images located solely on the host's `/shared/images` directory without host management.
Similar to choice B, guests rely on the vCMP host to provision and manage their software installations, making direct guest-side commands insufficient for this task.
In a vCMP environment, the vCMP host is responsible for managing the software images and installations for its guests. The administrator performs actions on the host to assign or install a software image onto a specific guest.
