Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.5 (NCP-MCI) — Question 24

An administrator manages an AHV cluster that is dedicated to a dev/test environment. The administrator is receiving complaints from users that they are unable to create new VMs on the cluster.
After reviewing the cluster, the administrator finds that the memory resources are almost fully utilized, with many VMs over-provisioned on memory.
What option is the most efficient resolution to enable additional VMs to be created?

Answer options

• A. Enable Memory HA on the aver-provisioned VMs.
• B. Upgrade the nodes with additional memory DIMMs.
• C. Enable Memory Overcommit on the over-provisioned VMs.
• D. Disable HA Reservation on the cluster.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because enabling Memory Overcommit allows the hypervisor to allocate more memory to VMs than is physically available, thus facilitating the creation of additional VMs. Option A is incorrect as Memory HA does not directly address the over-provisioning issue. Option B is not efficient in the short term, as it requires hardware upgrades. Option D does not solve the underlying memory utilization problem.
