Discuss Nutanix NCP-MCI Exam Topic 6 Question 12

In Files, how many FSVMs are deployed by default?

Suggested Answer: A, B

According to the Nutanix Volumes - Recommendations And Best Practices web search result3, two actions that the administrator should take when designing the Volume Group are:

Distribute workload across multiple virtual disks: Use multiple disks rather than a single large disk for an application. Consider using a minimum of one disk per Nutanix node to distribute the workload across all nodes in a cluster. Multiple disks per Nutanix node may also improve an application's performance. For performance-intensive environments, we recommend using between four and eight disks per CVM for a given workload.

Enable RSS (Receive Side Scaling): Receive-side scaling (RSS) allows the system to use multiple CPUs for network activity. With RSS enabled, multiple CPU cores process network traffic, preventing a single CPU core from becoming a bottleneck. Enabling RSS within hosts can be beneficial for heavy iSCSI workloads. For VMs running in ESXi environments, RSS requires VMXNET3 VNICs. For Hyper-V environments, enable VMQ to take full advantage of Virtual RSS.

Yeah, 2 makes sense for most setups.

Benton 11 months ago

Are you sure about that? Seems low.

Desiree 11 months ago

Definitely 2, I've checked.

Sabra 11 months ago

I thought it was 3!

Carri 11 months ago

It's 2 FSVMs by default.

Malinda 11 months ago

I’m leaning towards 2 as the answer, but I can’t shake the feeling that it might be 5.

Barrie 12 months ago

I’m a bit confused; I thought it was 3, but now I’m second-guessing myself.

Paola 12 months ago

I practiced a similar question last week, and I believe the answer was 1. I hope that’s correct!

Lashaun 1 year ago

I think I remember something about FSVMs, but I'm not entirely sure how many are deployed by default. Was it 2?

Nelida 1 year ago

Ah, I remember learning about this in my training. I'm confident I can nail this question.

Lucy 1 year ago

This is a straightforward question, I think. I'll review the information I have about the default deployment of FSVMs in Files and select the correct answer.

Linette 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused by this question. I don't have much experience with the Files service, so I'll need to do some research to figure this out.

Brande 1 year ago

Okay, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one. Let me double-check the documentation just to be sure.

Lynette 1 year ago

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the default configuration of Files to determine the right answer.

Aracelis 1 year ago

This seems straightforward to me. Preemptible VMs are cheaper, but less reliable, so we want an application that can handle that. A distributed, eventually consistent NoSQL database with sufficient quorum would be perfect. I'm choosing C.

Kimbery 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The risk register could contain a lot of different information, so I'll need to think through each option carefully to determine the best answer.

Gerardo 1 year ago

Okay, let's see. The question says the configuration is set up correctly, so the issue must be with how the virtual hosts are defined. I'll need to consider the different options carefully.

Viola 1 year ago

I heard the correct answer is actually 42, but that's just a rumor I heard from a reliable source - the janitor.

Ah, the age-old question of FSVM count. I'm going to take a wild guess and say 4, just to be different.

Ezekiel 1 year ago

5 FSVMs? That's a lot, isn't it? I'm going to go with 3, it just seems more reasonable.

Von 1 year ago

Yeah, 5 does seem like a lot. 3 sounds like the right answer.

Diego 1 year ago

I agree, 3 does sound like a more manageable number.

I think 3 is a good choice, it does seem more reasonable.
