Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 3

In a default configuration of an AHV cluster, a single node fails.
What happens to the running VMs on that node?

Answer options

• A. The cluster restarts all VMs in the event of a host failure
• B. The VMs do a live migration to the master node in the cluster
• C. The VMs do a live migration to any other node in the cluster
• D. The cluster attempts to restart VMs on other hosts

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because in a default AHV cluster configuration, the cluster will attempt to restart VMs on other available hosts after a node failure. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as the cluster does not restart all VMs automatically, nor does it specifically migrate VMs to the master node or any other node via live migration.
