Nutanix NCP-DB Exam - Topic 1 Question 46 Discussion

Posted by Rodney on May 07, 2026 at 09:52 AM

An administrator needs to distribute NDB management plane components.

Which NDB HA VM needs to be deployed on the same L2 network?

Suggested Answer: D

NDB High Availability (HA) is a feature that ensures the availability and reliability of the NDB management plane components, such as the API Server, the Repository VMs, and the NDB Agents. To enable NDB HA, you need to deploy at least three HA Proxy VMs on the same L2 network as the NDB Server VM. The HA Proxy VMs act as load balancers and health monitors for the NDB management plane components, and they also provide a single endpoint for accessing the NDB APIs and UI.Reference::
