The correct answer is A. Verify the md5sum and if invalid, download the installation files again. C. Attempt to use a different installation media or installation method. Random OS installation failures in a VM typically point to corrupted or damaged installation media rather than a VM configuration problem.

Question

An administrator has unsuccessfully attempted several times to install an Operating System inside a virtual machine. The administrator finds that the installation fails at random intervals. Which two actions can be taken to resolve this issue? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AVerify the md5sum and if invalid, download the installation files again.
  • BAttempt the installation an additional time.
  • CAttempt to use a different installation media or installation method.
  • DCreate a new virtual machine and attempt the installation with the existing media.

Why each option

Random OS installation failures in a VM typically point to corrupted or damaged installation media rather than a VM configuration problem.

AVerify the md5sum and if invalid, download the installation files again.Correct

Verifying the md5sum directly checks the integrity of the installation files. If the checksum does not match, the files are corrupt, which explains the random failures during installation. Re-downloading the files ensures a clean, valid copy is used.

BAttempt the installation an additional time.

Retrying the installation with the same potentially corrupted media will reproduce the same random failures without addressing the root cause.

CAttempt to use a different installation media or installation method.Correct

Using a different installation media or method eliminates the current media as the source of the problem. This approach tests whether the issue is specific to the media or delivery method rather than the VM configuration itself.

DCreate a new virtual machine and attempt the installation with the existing media.

Creating a new VM does not resolve corrupted installation media; the same files will fail in the new VM for the same reason.
