NCM-MCI Exam - Question 34


A Nutanix cluster is deployed with the following configuration:

✑ Three four-node blocks (A, B, and C)

✑ All Flash Redundancy Factor 2

What is the effect of simultaneous disk failures on two nodes located in block A?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

In a Nutanix cluster where a Redundancy Factor of 2 is employed, there are two copies of each data block ensuring tolerance to a single node or disk failure. If both nodes within the same block have disk failures simultaneously, it would mean that two copies of some data blocks would be lost. In this scenario, VMs on the affected nodes would be unable to write data because sufficient redundancy is not achieved, and data consistency cannot be guaranteed.

C is good. Explanation would be block awareness.
