In this challenge, you will update your vSphere software components. First, you will import updates into a vSphere Lifecycle Manager depot. Next, you will configure a cluster to be managed by a single image, and then you will remediate the VMware ESXi hosts to bring them into compliance with the image. Finally, you will upgrade VMware tools on multiple virtual machines, and then you will update a vCenter Server. Note: Once you begin the challenge lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your challenge lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge lab before you start.
