An administrator needs to optimize a VM's storage by leveraging compression features. The VM's vDisks are currently stored in a default storage container with no optimizations enabled.

How should the administrator proceed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Moving vDisks to a storage container with compression enabled ensures better data efficiency without downtime.

Option A (Migrate vDisks) is correct:

vDisk migration is non-disruptive and allows compression settings to be applied dynamically.

Option B (Recreate the VM) is incorrect:

Rebuilding the VM is unnecessary and would cause downtime.

Option C (Migrate the VM) is incorrect:

VM migration does not guarantee that only vDisks move, and it may disrupt performance.

Option D (Recreate vDisk) is incorrect:

This method is manual and time-consuming, while Nutanix provides an automated approach.

I prefer option D. Recreating the vDisk seems safer.

I think option C is the best. Just move the whole VM.

Recreating the vDisk sounds like a hassle, though.

Wait, are we sure that just moving the VM is enough?

Definitely not B, too much work for a simple optimization.

Surprised that recreating vDisks is even an option!

I’m torn between options C and D. I think recreating might be necessary, but I wonder if there's a simpler way to just migrate.

I feel like just migrating the vDisks isn't enough. We might need to recreate them to actually leverage the compression features.

I remember a practice question where we had to recreate vDisks for optimization. Maybe option D is the way to go?

I think migrating the VM to the Production storage container could be the right move, but I'm not entirely sure if that would automatically enable compression.
