Nutanix NCP-MCI (6.10) Exam - Topic 2 Question 11 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-MCI (6.10) exam
Question #: 11
Topic #: 2
[All NCP-MCI (6.10) Questions]

An administrator wants to ensure that VMs can be migrated and restarted on another node in the event of a single-host failure.

What action should be taken in Prism Element to meet this requirement?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

To ensure VM high availability (HA) in the event of a node failure, the administrator must enable HA Reservation (Option B) in Prism Element.

High Availability (HA) in Nutanix ensures that VMs restart on another available node if the host they are running on fails.

Option A (Redundancy Factor 3) affects storage redundancy, not VM failover.

Option C (Protection Domains) is related to disaster recovery (DR), not local HA failover.

Option D (RF1 Storage Container) would reduce fault tolerance and is not recommended for production environments.

Wait, can HA really handle all that? Sounds too good to be true!

Redundancy Factor of 3 seems excessive for just one host failure.

I vaguely recall something about RF1 storage containers, but I can't remember how they fit into VM migration scenarios.

Configuring a Protection Domain sounds familiar; I feel like it relates to VM availability during host failures.

I remember practicing with HA settings, but I'm not sure if "Enable HA Reservation" is the right choice here.

I think setting the Redundancy Factor to 3 might be overkill for just ensuring VMs can restart on another node.

This seems straightforward. Based on the question, the best option is to enable HA Reservation. That will ensure VMs can be automatically restarted on another node if the original host fails. The other choices like Redundancy Factor and Protection Domains don't seem as directly relevant to the specific requirement stated here.

Okay, let me think this through. If the goal is to ensure VMs can be restarted on another node, then I'm guessing the answer has to do with configuring some kind of redundancy or failover mechanism. I'd start by looking at the Redundancy Factor and HA Reservation options.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Prism Element has some HA features, but I'm not totally clear on the differences between the options like Redundancy Factor and HA Reservation. I'll need to review those in more detail.
