Actual exam question for VMware's 2V0-16.25 exam
Question #: 17
Topic #: 1
An administrator is preparing to deploy VMware vSphere Foundation using the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Installer wizard. During host onboarding, it is discovered that the VMware ESX hosts each have different root passwords.
Which deployment method must be used to continue the installation?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

When deploying VMware vSphere Foundation using theVCF Installer wizard, host onboarding requires consistent access credentials.
* If ESX hosts havedifferent root passwords, the wizard cannot proceed using a single credential.
* In this case, administrators must use aJSON specification fileto defineper-host credentials, ensuring each host can be onboarded successfully.
* The JSON specification allows defining host-specific parameters (IP, hostname, root password, networking, etc.).
Other options are incorrect:
* A. Proceed with wizard and override host credentials during staging# Not supported.
* B. Use deployment wizard and enter credentials per host manually# Wizard requires uniform credentials.
* C. Set password to expire on all ESX hosts# Irrelevant to deployment and would cause failures.
