Free VMware 2V0-17.25 Actual Exam Questions - Question 9 Discussion

Maybe D, because upgrading SDDC Manager first usually unlocks other bundles.

Maybe A, since using an offline repository often restricts the visible upgrade bundles to just the SDDC Manager one, blocking access to others until it's updated.

A imo, offline repo often limits visible bundles to just the main SDDC Manager update.

D imo, SDDC Manager has to upgrade first to unlock access to other bundles.

Maybe D, because SDDC Manager controls visibility of other bundles after its own update.

Not B, because using a proxy wouldn't limit the bundles shown; as long as connectivity is good, all bundles should be visible. The key issue is that SDDC Manager itself needs to be upgraded before others appear.

D imo, the upgrade process usually requires SDDC Manager itself to be updated first before it can pull and show other component bundles. Without upgrading SDDC Manager, it won't recognize or display the newer bundles for subsequent upgrades. So even if the repo is online or offline, the key step missing is that initial SDDC Manager upgrade.

A imo, the question hints that only the SDDC Manager 9.0 bundle is visible, which often happens if an offline repository is used. Offline repos typically contain limited bundles until updated. That would explain why other upgrade bundles aren’t showing up yet. The upgrade sequence does matter, but without the full set of bundles downloaded or accessible, the system won’t display them regardless. So it’s likely more about the repo source than just upgrading SDDC Manager first.

Makes sense that the SDDC Manager has to be updated first, as it controls the upgrade visibility. So D seems like the right call here.

Actually, it's not about the repo type but the upgrade sequence. Without upgrading SDDC Manager first, it won’t show other bundles, so D fits best here.

I think it’s definitely option D here. The SDDC Manager upgrade needs to happen first because it orchestrates the entire upgrade process and only after it’s on 9.0 will it show the other bundles for the rest of the environment. Without upgrading SDDC Manager first, you won’t get visibility into those other bundles, so that explains why only the 9.0 SDDC Manager bundle shows up.

Makes sense that the SDDC Manager controls the upgrade visibility. So, you gotta upgrade it first before seeing other bundles—definitely option D.

I’m thinking option A could be the reason here. If an offline repository is used, it might only have the SDDC Manager 9.0 bundle loaded, and not the other bundles yet. That would explain why no other bundles show up during preparation. The upgrade process depends on what bundles are available in the repository, so if it’s offline and incomplete, you won’t see everything. Does anyone know if the question implies the repository type or network setup?

Option D makes sense because the SDDC Manager acts as the control plane for the environment. Without upgrading it first, the system won’t show other bundles since it can’t properly manage or coordinate the full upgrade process. The question implies you’re starting at 5.2, so you need to get SDDC Manager to 9.0 to unlock access to other component upgrades. It’s like a gateway step to get everything else rolling.

Guessing D since you usually upgrade SDDC Manager first.
