Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 55

A vDisk is read by multiple VMs. The cluster creates immutable copies of the vDisk.
What are these vDisk copies called?

Answer options

• A. Disk Clones
• B. Golden Images
• C. Volume Groups
• D. Shadow Clones

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Shadow Clones' because they are specific copies created to allow simultaneous reads without altering the original vDisk. The other options do not accurately represent this concept; 'Disk Clones' refer to complete copies, 'Golden Images' are standard templates, and 'Volume Groups' are collections of storage volumes.
