NCP Cluster Deployment and Configuration 5

Question 1

Which Nutanix configuration allows administrators to define the maximum storage capacity a single VM can consume from a container?

Accepted Answer

vDisk size limit

Answer

vDisk size limits can be set at the container level to restrict how much storage any individual virtual disk within that container can consume.

Question 2

After a successful cluster deployment, an administrator finds that CVMs cannot reach external DNS. What is the first configuration element to verify?

Accepted Answer

CVM network configuration including DNS server IPs and gateway

Answer

The CVM network configuration (IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server entries) must be verified first as incorrect settings prevent external name resolution.

Question 3

What happens to running VMs when a CVM on the same node goes down in an AHV-based Nutanix cluster?

Accepted Answer

VMs continue running but I/O is served by CVMs on other nodes transparently

Answer

When a CVM fails, running VMs on the same node transparently redirect their I/O to CVMs on other nodes, maintaining availability without interrupting VM operation.

Question 4

Which Foundation deployment mode allows imaging multiple clusters across different physical sites from a single Foundation instance?

Accepted Answer

Foundation Central

Answer

Foundation Central is a scalable deployment tool that enables imaging and creating multiple clusters across different locations from a centralized management point.

Question 5

An administrator wants to ensure that specific VMs always run on nodes within a particular subset of cluster nodes. Which Nutanix feature enables this?

Accepted Answer

VM-Host Affinity Policy

Answer

VM-Host Affinity Policies in AHV allow administrators to define rules that pin or prefer specific VMs to run on designated hosts within the cluster.
