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.
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.
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.
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.
C is the pick here. LCM doesn't handle firmware updates for single-node clusters, it just skips them entirely. That’s why no updates show up even if you’re several versions behind. Seen similar scenario in the Nutanix docs, but open to correction if anyone has direct experience.
This is definitely C. LCM just won’t do firmware updates on single-node clusters, so nothing gets listed even if you're behind several versions. I remember seeing this in the official Nutanix docs. If I’m wrong let me know but pretty sure that's how it works.
I'd actually go with B. LCM support is generally limited for single-node clusters so kinda fits.
Be respectful. No spam.
