Explanation
A 'dark site' cluster has no internet access, so Prism cannot automatically download AOS upgrade packages from Nutanix's portal. Before initiating an upgrade via Prism, the administrator must manually upload both the AOS binary package AND its associated metadata JSON file to Prism Element. Prism uses the metadata file to validate the binary, display version information, and determine upgrade compatibility. Without the metadata file, Prism cannot recognize or process the uploaded binary. Option A (extracting to CVM) is not the correct Prism-based workflow. Option B describes using an HTTP server, which applies to LCM dark site configuration, not direct Prism upgrades. Option D describes LCM's dark site bundle approach, which is a different upgrade path.
