According to VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook, a statement that is true regarding NSX Manager configuration in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment is:

• The cluster virtual IP address (VIP) address must be used for API and GUI access to NSX Managers

The VMware Cloud Foundation Specialist (v2) certification exam guide from VMware specifically mentions that "Upgrade vCenter Server to a new version using vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM)" is a key knowledge area for the exam (source[1][2]:https://www.vmware.com/education-services/certification/vcf-specialist-exam.html ).

Additionally, search result [1] mentions that SDDC Manager is responsible for the life cycle management of vCenter Server and other components[3], indicating that vSphere LCM is specifically responsible for upgrading vCenter Server, a supported function.

a supported function of vSphere Lifecycle Manager (LCM) in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is Option A: Upgrade vCenter Server 1. vSphere Lifecycle Manager provides a framework for desired state lifecycle management of vSphere hosts in a cluster 2.

This is because according to Dell documentation1, to enable the Harbor Image Registry, you need to select the VM Storage Policy that will be used to store the images.

As part of enabling the Harbor Image Registry in VMware Cloud Foundation, a storage policy needs to be defined to specify the storage requirements for the registry. The storage policy should define the storage characteristics for the datastores where the registry will be deployed, including the redundancy level, disk type, and disk space. This is documented in the VMware documentation titled "Enabling Harbor Image Registry in Workload Domains."

A. Generate Certificate Signing Requests from SDDC Manager - In order to replace the self-signed certificates with third-party signed certificates, the Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) need to be generated. This can be done from the SDDC Manager UI.

C. Create and package the certificates in a domain_name.tar.gz file - After the CSRs are generated, they can be used to obtain third-party signed certificates from a certificate authority. Once the certificates are obtained, they need to be packaged in a domain_name.tar.gz file and uploaded to SDDC Manager.

• Generate Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) from SDDC Manager for each component that requires a certificate1. You can do this from the SDDC Manager UI or using an API call1.
• Have the CSRs signed by a third-party Certificate Authority of your choice1. You can use any external provider that meets your security policy requirements.
• Create and package the certificates in a domain_name.tar.gz file according to the naming convention and folder structure specified by SDDC Manager1. You can use any compression tool that supports gzip format.
• Upload and install the certificates using SDDC Manager UI or API1. You can also verify and troubleshoot the certificate installation using SDDC Manager.
