Question
An architect is drafting a design document in preparation for the deployment of a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution. To minimize costs, the customer has asked that the VCF solution utilize existing the vSphere infrastructure. The customer has migrated all virtual machines off this infrastructure in preparation for the deployment of VCF. The following information has been provided about the existing vSphere infrastructure:
- There are three separate vSphere clusters, each consisting of five
hosts.
- All networking is vSphere based, with a vSphere Distributed Switch
(vDS) configured per vSphere cluster.
- All clusters use NFSv3 for shared storage.
- A single vCenter manages the three vSphere clusters.
Based on this information, the architect makes a decision to create a new VCF fleet with a single VCF instance. What design implication should the architect document for this decision?
Options
- ANSX will be automatically deployed during the creation of the VCF fleet.
- BThe vCenter VM must be migrated to a standalone host before the creation of the VCF fleet.
- CThe clusters will be automatically configured to use vSAN storage before the creation of the VCF
- DThe ESX hosts will be converted to use vSphere Lifecycle Manager baselines during the creation

Explanation
During VCF bring-up, SDDC Manager requires control of a clean vCenter deployment. Since the existing environment already has a vCenter managing the clusters, the vCenter VM must be migrated to a standalone host so that VCF bring-up can properly deploy its own vCenter instance. A: NSX deployment happens later during WLD creation, not at fleet bring-up. C: vSAN isn't auto-configured -- it requires explicit design. D: VCF uses vLCM images, not baselines, post-deployment.
