Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 44

A customer with a four-node RF2 cluster is adding application VMs to their system. After adding these Vms, the Prism dashboard shows 81% storage utilization.
What is the consequence of running the cluster at 81% storage utilization?

Answer options

• A. The customer has the ability to add more VMs up to the 100% storage utilization.
• B. There is available capacity in the storage fabric and the cluster is resilient.
• C. Node failure is imminent due to storage utilization.
• D. The cluster is not resilient in the storage fabric

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when a cluster operates at 81% storage utilization, it does not have enough overhead to handle additional failures, reducing its resilience. Option A is incorrect as adding VMs further could lead to critical issues. Option B is misleading since while there may be some capacity, the cluster's resilience is compromised. Option C is not accurate as it suggests an imminent failure rather than a lack of resilience.
