Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 30

An administrator needs to create and start five new VMs for a Data Analytics Project (OLAP). The VM Profile is as follows:
✑ vCPU:4
✑ vRAM: 64 GB
✑ vDisk: 1.5 TB
Each of the four nodes of the Nutanix cluster has the following:
✑ 24 vCPU. 20% overall usage
✑ 192 GB RAM, 60% overall usage
✑ 2 x l920 GB SSD
✑ 4 x 2 TB HDD
At cluster level, there is a single RF2 container that is 30% utilized and has an extent store capacity of 13.5 TB.
Which component requires administrator attention?

Answer options

• A. Physical RAM, because it is not enough to power on all of the new VMs.
• B. Physical Cores, because they are not enough to power on all of the new VMs.
• C. Storage, because the capacity is not enough to create VMs.
• D. Flash Tier because it is not enough to accommodate the workloads.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the total vRAM required for five VMs is 320 GB (5 x 64 GB), but only 76.8 GB is available considering the current usage (192 GB - 60%). Options B, C, and D are incorrect as there are sufficient physical cores, storage capacity, and flash tier performance available to meet the requirements of the new VMs.
