Nutanix Certified Services – Core v6.8 (NCS-Core) — Question 15

A consultant deployed a Nutanix Files cluster using separate networks for client and storage.
For testing a SMB standard share, a VM has been deployed on storage network. However, the consultant cannot access the share.
What is the cause of the issue?

Answer options

• A. The CVM network segmentation is configured.
• B. Clients on the same subnet as the storage network cannot access the shares.
• C. An iSCSI Data Services IP is not configured for the cluster.
• D. Clients on the same subnet as the storage network can only access the distributed shares.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because clients on the storage network are isolated and cannot access the SMB shares due to network segmentation. Options A and C are incorrect as they do not address the specific issue of access restrictions for clients on the storage network. Option D is also incorrect because it misstates the access capabilities of clients on the same subnet as the storage network.
