NCP Exam - Question 119


An administrator has a 4-node Nutanix cluster running on Hyper-V. The administrator creates a new storage container and makes that available to all hosts.

Which storage protocol should administrator use for the hosts to gain access to the storage container?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

The correct storage protocol for a Hyper-V environment to access a Nutanix storage container is SMB/CIFS. Hyper-V primarily uses SMB (Server Message Block) for file sharing, which is compatible with Windows environments and allows efficient access to shared storage. NFS and iSCSI are not typically used with Hyper-V, and Fibre Channel is more common in dedicated SAN environments, which is not the case here.
