Nutanix Certified Associate (NCA) — Question 48

An administrator needs to upgrade AOS in a vSphere-based Nutanix five-node cluster with no automatic live migration. VMs have neither affinity nor anti-affinity rules configured.
What will happen to VMs during the AOS upgrade?

Answer options

• A. VMs will be rebooted on other hosts.
• B. VMs will continue to run on the same host.
• C. Upgrade fails because host can't go in maintenance mode.
• D. AOS automatically live migrate VMs to other hosts.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because without configured affinity or anti-affinity rules, the VMs will remain on their original hosts during the AOS upgrade. Options A and D are incorrect since there is no automatic live migration taking place, and option C is not valid as the upgrade can proceed without failing due to the maintenance mode.
