An administrator is tasked with importing a vSphere Lifecycle Manager image and applying it to...

When usingvSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM)withParallel Remediationenabled, the following rules apply:

Parallel remediation only applies to ESXi hosts that are already in Maintenance Mode.

vLCM doesnotput hosts into Maintenance Mode automatically in this mode.

Similarly, it does not exit Maintenance Mode automatically after remediation.

Hosts not in Maintenance Mode are skipped.

If Parallel Remediation is activated, vLCM remediates only those hosts that are already in Maintenance Mode.

Any hosts that are not in Maintenance Mode remain untouched.

Remediation happens in parallel for all eligible hosts.

In this case, two of the six hosts are in Maintenance Mode. Those two hosts will be remediated in parallel.

The remaining four hosts (not in Maintenance Mode) willnotbe remediated at all.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. Four hosts not in maintenance mode are remediated in parallel→❌Incorrect. Hosts must already be in Maintenance Mode to be remediated.

B. Hosts in maintenance mode first, then non-maintenance hosts→❌Incorrect. Non-maintenance mode hosts are skipped, not remediated after.

C. Four hosts remediated sequentially, others skipped→❌Incorrect. Parallel Remediation does not touch non-maintenance mode hosts.

D. Hosts in maintenance mode remediated in parallel; others skipped→✅Correct and matches VMware documentation.
