VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 80

A VMware administrator is deploying a NSX Edge cluster using SDDC Manager. The manager wants to know if the NSX Edge nodes can be removed at a later time, knowing that there is no budget for adding additional hardware to the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) infrastructure.

Which three statements accurately answer this manager’s question about NSX Edge nodes? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. They can be removed at any time if they are in a powered-off state.
• B. They can only be removed if the NSX Edge cluster is available in the SDDC Manager inventory and is active.
• C. They can only be removed if the NSX Edge cluster is not stretched.
• D. They can be removed if there are at least two nodes in the NSX Edge cluster.
• E. They can only be removed if the NSX Edge node is available in the SDDC Manager inventory.
• F. They can only be removed if the NSX Edge node was deployed from NSX-T Manager directly.

Correct answer: B, C, E

Explanation

The correct answers are B, C, and E because NSX Edge nodes can only be removed when they are active and listed in the SDDC Manager inventory, and they must not be part of a stretched cluster. Options A, D, and F are incorrect as they do not satisfy the requirements for the removal of NSX Edge nodes in this context.
