Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 129

A node has two SSDs in Slot 0 and Slot 1. The SSD in Slot 1 fails. What is the result?

Answer options

• A. The CVM is down. Another CVM takes over serving storage to the node, and the SSD capacity is reduced.
• B. The CVM and other running VMs do not reboot, and the SSD capacity is reduced.
• C. The CVM is down. AHV takes over serving storage to the node, and the SSD capacity is reduced.
• D. The CVM reboots. Other running VMs do not reboot, and the SSD capacity is reduced.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because when the SSD in Slot 1 fails, the CVM continues to operate without rebooting, though the total SSD capacity is diminished. Options A and C incorrectly state that the CVM is down, while option D suggests that the CVM reboots, both of which are inaccurate scenarios for this failure condition.
