Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 7

When creating a VM on an AHV cluster, how is the initial placement of the VM determined?

Answer options

• A. AHV uses a round robin algorithm, placing new VMs onto hosts based on the numerical order of their UUID
• B. The administrator right clicks on the desired host and selects Power on VM from the dropdown menu
• C. The Acropolis Dynamic Scheduler selects a host which provides adequate resources for the VMs configuration
• D. Placement is determined by the host that holds the new_VM token at the time of VM creation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Acropolis Dynamic Scheduler intelligently selects a host that meets the resource requirements for the VM configuration. Option A is incorrect as it misrepresents the placement algorithm, and option B is not related to the automatic placement process. Option D is also wrong because the new_VM token does not dictate placement in the manner described.
