Discuss Nutanix NCP-MCI Exam Topic 1 Question 5

A vDisk is read by multiple VMs. The cluster creates immutable copies of the vDisk. What are these vDisk copies called?

ADisk Clones

BGolden Images

CVolume Groups

DShadow Clones

Suggested Answer: D

According to the Nutanix Support & Insights web search result3, shadow clones are vDisk copies that are created by the cluster when a vDisk is read by multiple VMs. Shadow clones are immutable copies of a vDisk that are stored in different nodes in the cluster, and are used to improve read performance and reduce network traffic. Shadow clones are automatically created and deleted by the cluster, based on the demand and availability of resources.

Wait, are we sure about that? Sounds a bit off.

Eliz 11 months ago

Nope, it's Disk Clones for sure.

Laurena 11 months ago

I thought it was Shadow Clones!

Margurite 11 months ago

Definitely Golden Images, right?

Denny 11 months ago

They're called Disk Clones!

Leontine 11 months ago

I practiced a question like this, and I think the answer is "Disk Clones," but I could be mixing it up with something else.

"Shadow Clones" sounds familiar, but I can't recall if that's the right term for immutable copies.

Hillary 12 months ago

I remember something about "Golden Images" being used for base images, but this question seems different.

Shalon 1 year ago

I think the term for those copies might be "Disk Clones," but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm a bit confused by this one. I know we covered this topic in class, but I'm drawing a blank on the specific term for the immutable copies of the vDisk. I'll have to make an educated guess and hope for the best.

Okay, let's see here. The question mentions the cluster creating immutable copies of the vDisk, so that rules out Disk Clones and Volume Groups. That leaves Golden Images and Shadow Clones. I'm leaning towards Shadow Clones, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know the vDisk is read by multiple VMs, and the cluster creates immutable copies, but I can't quite remember what those copies are called. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Leota 1 year ago

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure the answer is Shadow Clones.

Content fragments for sure. That's the feature designed specifically for managing structured content in AEM.

Okay, I've got this. Asynchronous replication is faster and more flexible, but you risk losing some data if the primary site fails. Synchronous is slower but guarantees no data loss. I'll explain the pros and cons of each approach.

This looks like a straightforward question about the benefits of PaaS databases in Azure. I'll focus on the key points like reduced administrative effort and access to the latest features.

HL7 seems like the standard for medical data exchange, so I'm leaning towards option B.

Leatha 1 year ago

The question is asking specifically about data plane resiliency, so I'll rule out the options that seem more focused on control plane redundancy. I think BFD is the best fit here.

Golden Images make sense because they are like a 'golden' reference point for all VMs.

Janine 2 years ago

I think the correct term for these vDisk copies is Golden Images.

Willodean 2 years ago

But aren't Disk Clones created by just duplicating the entire disk?

Carlee 2 years ago

I believe they are called Disk Clones.

Willodean 2 years ago

I think the vDisk copies are called Shadow Clones.

Audrie 2 years ago

I believe they are actually called Golden Images because they are like a master template.

Alyssa 2 years ago

Hmm, that's interesting. I always thought they were called Shadow Clones because they are immutable.

Tyra 2 years ago

I heard some people refer to them as Disk Clones.

Alyssa 2 years ago

I think the copies of the vDisk are called Shadow Clones.

Irving 2 years ago

Alright, let's go through the options one by one. 'Disk Clones' sounds like it could be a possibility, but 'Golden Images' makes more sense to me.

↳ replying to Tina

I see where you're coming from, but I think Shadow Clones make more sense

I'm leaning towards A) Disk Clones actually

Ah, finally a question that tests our knowledge of virtualization lingo! This should be a piece of cake.
