An administrator has a 3-node cluster and needs to enable Erasure Coding on a container. Which action must the administrator take before enabling this feature?

  1. Add a 4th node to the cluster
  2. Upgrade to Prism Pro Licenses
  3. Stop workloads on the cluster
  4. Convert the cluster to AHV

Answer(s): A



An administrator is creating a Protection Domain to back up multiple application environments. Which mechanism does Nutanix use to aggregate VMs with common backup and restore objectives?

  1. Consistency Groups
  2. Application Pools
  3. Availability Domains
  4. Policy-based Backups

How will an HDD failure affect VMs with data on the failed device?

  1. The VMs will crash, and will be restarted once the failed HDD has been replaced and the data has been restored.
  2. A live migration will be initiated, moving the affected VMs to a host that contains the replica data.
  3. The VMs will remain operational on that host and continue to function normally with no noticeable impact
  4. An HA event will occur, causing the affected VMs to restart on a node that contains the replica data.

Answer(s): C



A node has two SSDs in Slot0 and Slot 1. The SSD in Slot 1 fails.
What is the result?

  1. The CVM reboots. Other running VMs do not reboot, and the SSD capacity is reduced.
  2. The CVM and other running VMs do not reboot, and the SSD capacity is reduced.
  3. The CVM is down. AHV takes over serving storage to the node, and the SSD capacity is reduced.
  4. The CVM is down. Another CVM takes over serving storage to the node, and the SSD capacity is reduced.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

With 2 SSD's, if slot 0 fails the Cvm reboots and will recover using slot1, vm rights/reads flow to other nodes while Cvm is restarting. If slot 1 fails, no Cvm reboot occurs but SSD capacity is reduced, missing blocks are retrieved from other nodes as needed and re protected. If both SSD's fail, the Cvm is down and all read/writes are done to other nodes. https://next.nutanix.com/server-virtualization-27/impact-of-ssd-failure-19417



A customer has a 24-node cluster with all containers configured with RF3. Two different nodes have incurred a simultaneous HDD failure.
What is the result?

  1. The cluster runs in a degraded state until the failed drives are replaced and the data has been restored to three replicas.
  2. Sixty minutes after the failures a rebuild of the lost data can remaining HDDs begins to restore to three replicas.
  3. The VMs with data on those drives crash, and an HA event occurs, restarting them on a remaining healthy node.
  4. The Nutanix cluster recognizes the failures and immediately begins to rebuild lost data to three replicas.

Answer(s): D
