Discuss Nutanix NCP-MCI Exam Topic 1 Question 4

Which node type does not deploy a Nutanix Controller VM?

AStorage Only

BHyper Converged

CCompute Only

DAll Flash

Suggested Answer: C

A Compute Only node is a node that does not have any local storage devices and only provides compute resources to the cluster2.A Compute Only node does not run a CVM, but instead relies on the CVMs of other nodes to access the distributed storage fabric2

Totally agree, A is the right answer.

Ilda 11 months ago

Wait, really? I didn't know that about Storage Only!

Darrin 11 months ago

A makes sense, no controller for just storage!

Curt 11 months ago

I thought it was C, Compute Only.

Elliott 11 months ago

It's definitely A, Storage Only.

Dorian 11 months ago

All Flash nodes should have a Controller VM, right? I think the answer is definitely Storage Only.

Paris 12 months ago

I feel like Compute Only might not have a Controller VM either, but I can't recall the specifics.

Tess 12 months ago

I remember practicing a question about node types, and I think Hyper Converged definitely has a Controller VM.

Edwin 1 year ago

I think the Storage Only node doesn't deploy a Controller VM, but I'm not entirely sure.

Stephaine 1 year ago

The key here is figuring out which node type doesn't require the Nutanix Controller VM. I think the answer is C, Compute Only, but I'll double-check that.

Samira 1 year ago

I'm a little unsure about this one. I'll have to review my notes on the Nutanix node types to make sure I understand the differences.

Tegan 1 year ago

Okay, let me see. I know the Hyper Converged nodes have the Controller VM, so that's not the answer. Gotta be one of the other options.

Chaya 1 year ago

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'll need to think through the Nutanix node types and which one doesn't deploy the Controller VM.

Jesus 1 year ago

I'm pretty confident the answer is C. Compute Only nodes don't need the Controller VM since they're just for compute resources, not storage.

Marjory 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. Can someone clarify what "media retention services" and "major event assurance services" actually mean in this context? I want to make sure I understand before selecting an answer.

Laurel 1 year ago

I feel like FlexConnect groups came up in a practice scenario, but I'm a bit confused about their application in this specific question. Option C could work, but I'm not fully confident.

Eleni 1 year ago

Okay, I think I got this. The question states the VCN3020 can connect "not more than 1024 Mbit/s total bandwidth", so that means the 512 channels can't exceed 1024 Mbit/s in total. So the answer must be TRUE.

Ruby 1 year ago

This looks straightforward - I'm pretty confident that the answer is B, an Azure virtual machine.

Brianne 1 year ago

I've got this one! The best way to ensure this is a true positive is to perform a manual test on the server, so I'm going with option B. That way, I can really dig into the vulnerability and confirm it's legit.

I don't think so, because even for Storage Only node type a Nutanix Controller VM is deployed to manage the storage resources.

Kristian 2 years ago

But what about Storage Only option, could that be correct as well?

Shawn 2 years ago

I agree, Compute Only node type does not deploy a Nutanix Controller VM.

Maryrose 2 years ago

I think the answer is C) Compute Only.

Belen 2 years ago

Interesting point, I will go with A) Storage Only as well.

Albert 2 years ago

I believe the answer is D) All Flash, because even though it's all flash, it still requires the Nutanix Controller VM.

Nell 2 years ago

That makes sense too, as the Nutanix Controller VM is more relevant for hyper-converged nodes.

Billye 2 years ago

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be C) Compute Only.

Socorro 2 years ago

I agree, because the Nutanix Controller VM is not needed for just storage nodes.

Gertude 2 years ago

I think the answer is A) Storage Only.

Lou 2 years ago

Alright, team, let's pool our knowledge here. From what I understand, the Nutanix Controller VM is the central brain of the cluster, so it has to be on the nodes that combine compute and storage. That rules out A) Storage Only and C) Compute Only. *pauses* Wait, is D) All Flash a trick question? *laughs* Anyway, I'm going with B) Hyper Converged.

Danica 3 years ago

The Nutanix Controller VM is the brain of the system, so it has to be deployed on all node types, right? I'm a bit confused by this question.

Nobuko 3 years ago

I'm not really sure about this one. Nutanix is a complex technology and I'm still learning the ins and outs of it.
