Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 120

A customer has a 24-node cluster with all containers configured with RF3. Two different nodes have incurred a simultaneous HDD failure.
What is the result?

Answer options

• A. The Nutanix cluster recognizes the failures and immediately begins to rebuild lost data to three replicas.
• B. Sixty minutes after the failures, a rebuild of the lost data on remaining HDDs begins to restore to three replicas.
• C. The VMs with data on those drives crash, and an HA event occurs, restarting them on a remaining healthy node.
• D. The cluster runs in a degraded state until the failed drives are replaced and the data has been restored to three replicas.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, is accurate because the Nutanix cluster is designed to recognize failures and initiate data rebuilding immediately to maintain data integrity. Option B incorrectly suggests a delay in rebuilding, options C and D do not accurately reflect the cluster's resilience and recovery capabilities under RF3 configuration.
