An administrator has upgraded a Distributed vCenter Server environment from 5.5 to 6.0. What is the next step that should be taken?

The correct answer is A. vCenter Inventory Service must be manually stopped and removed. After upgrading vCenter Server from 5.5 to 6.0, the legacy vCenter Inventory Service must be manually stopped and removed because it was deprecated and fully retired in the 6.0 release.

Why each option

After upgrading vCenter Server from 5.5 to 6.0, the legacy vCenter Inventory Service must be manually stopped and removed because it was deprecated and fully retired in the 6.0 release.

AvCenter Inventory Service must be manually stopped and removed.Correct

In vCenter 6.0, the Inventory Service was consolidated into other platform components and is no longer a functional or required service - leaving the 5.5 Inventory Service running after the upgrade wastes resources and can cause conflicts, so it must be manually stopped and then removed from the system.

BvCenter Inventory Service must be changed from manual to automatic.

Changing the Inventory Service startup type to automatic is incorrect because the service is fully deprecated in vCenter 6.0 and enabling it automatically would reintroduce a component that no longer serves a purpose.

CvCenter Inventory Service must be manually stopped and restarted.

Restarting the Inventory Service is the wrong action - it is deprecated in vCenter 6.0 and should be permanently removed, not cycled.

DvCenter Inventory Service must be changed from automatic to manual.

Setting the startup type to manual is insufficient because the service is obsolete in 6.0 and the correct remediation is complete removal, not simply preventing automatic startup.

Concept tested: Post-upgrade removal of deprecated vCenter Inventory Service 5.5 to 6.0
