Question
An administrator tries to connect the vSphere 5.5 Client to an ESXi 6.x host. What will happen when this takes place?
Options
- AThe operation will fail, since the vSphere Client is deprecated in vSphere 6.x.
- BThe operation will fail and the administrator will need to delete the client and install the 6.x
- CThe operation will prompt the administrator to run a script to upgrade the vSphere Client.
- DThe operation will update the vSphere Client silently in the background, then connect.
Explanation
When an older vSphere 5.5 Client connects to an ESXi 6.x host, the host prompts the user to run an upgrade script rather than failing outright or upgrading silently.
Common mistakes.
- A. While the legacy vSphere Client is eventually deprecated, it is not fully blocked from connecting in a way that causes a hard failure with no recovery path in 6.x; the host provides an upgrade prompt instead.
- B. A full uninstall-and-reinstall is not required; the upgrade script mechanism handles the version transition without needing the administrator to manually delete the existing client.
- D. VMware does not silently auto-update client software in the background; the upgrade process requires an explicit administrator action triggered by the on-screen prompt.
Concept tested. vSphere Client version compatibility and upgrade prompt behavior
