Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.5 (NCP-MCI) — Question 18

An administrator is setting up a Nutanix cluster for a mission critical workload. All of the VMs in the cluster must have capacity to continue to run even if there is a hardware failure.
What should the administrator enable to achieve this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Change the fault tolerance level to Block.
• B. Enable HA Reservation in Prism Element.
• C. Change the redundancy factor to 3.
• D. Enable Degraded Node Detection.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Enabling HA Reservation in Prism Element ensures that resources are reserved for virtual machines, allowing them to maintain operation during hardware failures. The other options do not directly address the requirement of ensuring continuous operation for VMs; for example, changing the fault tolerance level or redundancy factor may not guarantee the same effective resource allocation as HA Reservation.
