Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 3

A Nutanix cluster is deployed with the following configuration:
✑ Three four-node blocks (A, B, and C)
✑ All Flash Redundancy Factor 2
What is the effect of simultaneous disk failures on two nodes located in block A?

Answer options

• A. VMs are migrated of the nodes with disk failures.
• B. Each node with a failed disk is marked as degraded.
• C. VM read and write operations continue normally.
• D. VMs on the nodes with failed disks are unable to write data

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the All Flash Redundancy Factor 2 allows for continued operations despite disk failures by ensuring data is still available. Options A and D are incorrect as they imply disruptions in VM operations which do not occur in this configuration, and option B is incorrect since nodes are not solely marked as degraded without affecting performance.
