An administrator is preparing to create a new workload domain within an existing VCF instance. Which two tasks must be completed before starting the deployment workflow? (Choose two.)
A.
Commission the new ESX hosts into the existing VCF instance from the new workload domain vCenter.
B.
Commission the new ESX hosts into the existing VCF instance from the management domain vCenter.
C.
Pre-install a supported ESX version onto the server with VCF Installer.
D.
Pre-install a supported ESX version onto the server using a valid ISO image.
E.
Commission the new ESX hosts into the existing VCF instance from VCF Installer.
The VCF 9.0 Deployment Guide notes: “All ESXi hosts must be installed with a supported ESXi version using a VMware ISO before they are commissioned into SDDC Manager. Commissioning is always performed via the management domain vCenter.” The new workload domain vCenter does not exist until the domain is deployed, ruling out option A. The VCF Installer is used for initial bring-up, not workload domain expansion (E). Therefore, the two required steps are: install ESXi using a valid ISO (D) and commission hosts via the management domain vCenter (B).
