Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.10 (NCP-MCI) — Question 22

An administrator observed an alert in Prism on a hybrid SSD/HDD cluster stating:
Storage Pool SSD utilization consistently above 75%.
What is the potential impact of this condition?

Answer options

• A. The cluster may be nearly out of storage for metadata.
• B. The cluster is at risk of entering a read-only state.
• C. Average IO latency in the cluster may increase.
• D. The cluster is unable to sustain a SSD disk failure.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

When SSD utilization consistently exceeds 75%, it can lead to increased average IO latency as the storage system struggles to manage the high demand for data access. The other options, while concerning, do not directly relate to the immediate impact of high SSD utilization; they refer to different scenarios or conditions that may arise under other circumstances.
