No impact on performance? That sounds too good to be true!

I thought there was a chance that performance would be unaffected if the cluster was in Ensure Accessibility mode. But now I'm questioning that.

This reminds me of a practice question where we discussed maintenance modes. I think the VMs would be in a suspended state if two nodes fail, but I could be wrong.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like performance could degrade if a second node fails during maintenance. It seems like a possibility.

I remember reading that with erasure coding, losing a second node could really impact accessibility. I think the VMs might not be accessible anymore.

I'm pretty confident that the performance will be degraded in this scenario, since the cluster is now operating with reduced redundancy.

Okay, I think I've got this. With the Ensure Accessibility mode selected, the cluster should be able to tolerate the second node failure without impacting VM accessibility.

Hold up, no impact on performance? That can't be right, the cluster's one node short now. I'm going with C, performance is going downhill from here.

Uh oh, if a second node fails, that's not good news. The VMs better not become inaccessible! I'll go with B just to be safe.
