Nutanix Certified Services – Core v6.8 (NCS-Core) — Question 6

During a Site Readiness Check, a customer informed the consultant that there is no NTP server currently configured in the environment.
Which two statements should the consultant consider for continuing the cluster deployment? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. An NTP server is not required for cluster Foundation and can be added later.
• B. At least one external NTP server must be used to complete Foundation process.
• C. At least 3 NTP servers must be provided in a comma-separated list.
• D. If an NTP server is provided using FQDN, a DNS server is required.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because at least one external NTP server is essential for the Foundation process to ensure accurate time synchronization. Option D is also correct as an FQDN requires a DNS server to resolve the domain name to an IP address. Options A and C are incorrect because an NTP server is indeed required for proper cluster functioning during Foundation and the requirement is not just for three servers.
