Q: 3
An administrator has been tasked with performing firmware upgrades for all Nutanix sites.
When attempting to perform firmware upgrades via Life Cycle Manager (LCM) at a remote site with a
single-node cluster, no firmware updates are listed as available. The administrator confirmed that the
currently installed firmware is several revisions behind.
Why are no firmware upgrades listed in LCM for this cluster?

Makes sense to go with C here.
C . Had something like this in a mock, and yeah LCM can't do firmware updates on single-node clusters. That's why nothing shows up in the list even if you're outdated.
I don’t think it’s D. The main issue is LCM just doesn’t support firmware upgrades on single-node clusters, so option C makes the most sense. Lack of internet would probably show an error, but here there are just no updates listed. Option B is tricky but LCM is supported, just with limitations for firmware. Let me know if I missed something!
C. all day. LCM doesn't do firmware for single-node clusters.
C here. LCM just skips firmware upgrades on single-node clusters, so nothing will be listed even if you're way behind. Saw a similar question pop up in some practice materials, pretty sure that's the catch.
Nutanix really needs to make these limitations clearer, Option C.
C tbh, single-node clusters just can't do firmware upgrades via LCM so nothing shows up. Ran into this on a test lab.
C imo. LCM just doesn't support firmware updates for single-node clusters, so nothing gets listed, regardless of how out of date you are. Hit this in lab setups a few times myself. If anyone's seen a workaround, let me know.
Maybe D
C or D? I'm pretty sure it's C since LCM doesn't allow firmware upgrades on single-node clusters, but D is tempting as a trap since internet issues would usually throw a different error. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Be respectful. No spam.
