VMware NSX-T Data Center Advanced (VCAP-NV Design) — Question 16

What is a design justification for a solution with 3 NSX Manager nodes deployed in a 4 ESXi cluster Management Cluster? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. NSX Controllers are separated from NSX Managers allowing 6 ESXi servers to host them.
• B. NSX Management Plane and Control Plane will be reduced to a single point of failure.
• C. Compute consumption guarantees NSX Manager nodes can be run on the same ESXi host.
• D. Single point of failure on Control Plane and Management Plane will be mitigated.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, highlights that reducing the NSX Management Plane and Control Plane to a single point of failure can enhance overall reliability. Options A and C do not address the critical issue of fault tolerance, while D, although close, doesn't capture the essence of minimizing the failure points in both planes.
