A. B. C. D.B.
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2150398The health check warning "Controller firmware is VMware certified" indicates that the firmware version installed on the storage controller is not listed in the VMware Compatibility Guide. The VMware Compatibility Guide is a comprehensive list of hardware and software components that are certified to work with VMware products, including VMware vSAN.
When the administrator updated the firmware on the storage controller to the latest version, they may have assumed that the warning would disappear, but this is not always the case. The warning will continue to appear until the new firmware version is certified and included in the VMware Compatibility Guide.
Therefore, option B is the correct answer: "The recently installed firmware is yet to be certified and included in VMware Compatibility Guide."
Option A is incorrect because the warning specifically mentions that the firmware is VMware certified, indicating that the warning is not related to certification but rather to the version of the firmware.
Option C is also incorrect because restarting the VMware vSAN Health Service will not affect the certification status of the firmware. The service is responsible for monitoring the health of the vSAN environment and alerting the administrator of any potential issues.
Option D is incorrect because the fact that the firmware is newer than the recommended firmware does not necessarily mean that it is compatible with VMware vSAN. The warning is indicating that the firmware version is not listed in the VMware Compatibility Guide, so it may not be fully compatible with vSAN.
