An administrator needs to perform an LCM upgrade on an AHV host with GPUs. What additional step is required before upgrading the host?

Question

Options

• ACreate an agent VM on each host that has GPU drivers installed.
• BRun LCM in dark site mode so it can update AHV independently.
• CUse Direct Uploads to upload appropriate driver bundles.
• DUpdate NCC to the latest version and re-run Inventory.

• C

• D

Explanation

When AHV hosts contain GPUs (typically NVIDIA), the GPU drivers must be updated alongside the host firmware. LCM does not automatically bundle GPU drivers because they are vendor-specific and may require separate licensing or download agreements. The administrator must manually obtain the appropriate GPU driver bundles from the vendor and upload them to LCM using the Direct Upload feature. LCM then uses these uploaded bundles as part of the upgrade workflow. Creating an agent VM (A) is not required for GPU driver updates. Dark site mode (B) is an LCM configuration for air-gapped environments and does not specifically address GPU drivers. Updating NCC (D) is always good practice but is not the GPU-specific required step.
