Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 29

What is the expected operation during node addition when the new node has a different AOS version?

Answer options

• A. The node is automatically re-imaged using the software currently running in the cluster
• B. The node is added and a separate upgrade operation must be performed
• C. The entire cluster is upgraded to the latest one-click release
• D. The addition fails and forces the administrator to image using standalone Foundation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when a new node with a different AOS version is added, the system automatically re-images it to match the cluster's software. Options B and C are incorrect as they imply additional steps or upgrades that are not necessary in this case. Option D is also wrong since the addition does not fail but instead proceeds with re-imaging.
