Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.10 (NCP-MCI) — Question 29

An administrator is managing a 4-node cluster, based on intermixed hardware as follows:
• Two G5 Nodes, 2 CPUs 12 Cores, 1 SSD 1.92 TB, 2 HHDs 4 TB
• Two G7 Nodes, 2 CPUs 16 Cores, 2 SSD 1.92 TB, 4 HDDs, 4 TB
G5 Nodes are going out of support and need to be replaced. This cluster will be decommissioned from production and used for Disaster Recovery purposes with 1 hour RPO.
What is the supported configuration when swapping G5 nodes without compromising performance?

Answer options

• A. New node must have at least 2 SSDs.
• B. New node must be G7 or G8.
• C. New node must have 2 CPUs with 12 cores.
• D. New node must be hybrid.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because using G7 or G8 nodes will ensure compatibility and performance consistency within the cluster. Options A and C do not specify the necessary compatibility with existing nodes, and D does not directly address the requirement for node generation.
