Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.5 (NCP-MCI) — Question 16

The administrator recently had a node fail in an AMV Nutanix cluster. All of the VMs restarted on other nodes in the cluster, but they discovered that the VMs that make up a SQL cluster were running on the failed host. The administrator has been asked to take measures to prevent a SQL outage in the future.
What affinity option will prevent the SQL VMs from running on the same host?

Answer options

• A. VM Anti Affinity policy
• B. Create Affinity Project
• C. VM-Host Affinity policy
• D. Create Affinity Category

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The VM Anti Affinity policy ensures that specific VMs do not run on the same host, which is crucial for avoiding outages in clustered environments like SQL. The other options either do not provide the necessary separation or are not relevant to preventing SQL VMs from being on the same host.
