In a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, the correct sequence for deploying a new Workload Domain is as follows:

1. Install the ESXi hypervisor on the physical hosts to prepare them for integration into the VCF environment.

2. Commission hosts in SDDC Manager, which makes the hosts available for assignment to a workload domain.

3. Create a network pool for the Workload Domain, ensuring proper network segmentation and configuration for the domain.

4. Assign permissions on the newly deployed vCenter Server to provide necessary access and roles for administrators.

5. Deploy Workload Domain using SDDC Manager to set up the Workload Domain with the appropriate resources and configurations.

This order ensures that each step is completed in the necessary sequence for a successful Workload Domain deployment.

In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), licenses for vSphere and vSAN are managed through SDDC Manager. When adding a new cluster to an existing VI Workload Domain, the administrator should specify the required licenses in SDDC Manager, which centrally manages and applies the licenses to ensure compliance and compatibility across the environment.

In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), the recommended method to update firmware on ESXi hosts during a VI Workload Domain upgrade is to use vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) Images in conjunction with a vendor hardware support manager. This integration allows vLCM to manage both ESXi and firmware updates as a single cohesive process. The vendor hardware support manager provides firmware compatibility information, ensuring that the firmware and ESXi versions are compatible and meet the hardware vendor’s standards.
