Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 33

In the event of failed CVM, what happens to the physically attached storage for the node and the VMs running on it?

Answer options

• A. The drives for that node are inaccessible. The VMs reboot.
• B. The drives for that node are inaccessible. The VMs continue to run.
• C. The hypervisor regains control of the drives. VMs on that node reboot.
• D. The hypervisor regains control of the drives. VMs on that node continue to run.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because when a CVM fails, the drives become inaccessible but the VMs continue to operate without interruption. Options A and C incorrectly state that the VMs reboot, while option D suggests that the VMs continue running, but misrepresents the control of the drives.
