An administrator has a 4-node Nutanix cluster running on AHV. The administrator creates a new storage container and makes that all available to all hosts.
Which storage protocol is used for VMs to access virtual disks on the storage container?

Which storage protocol is used for VMs to access virtual disks on the storage container?
In a Nutanix cluster running on AHV (Acropolis Hypervisor), VMs access virtual disks on the storage container using the NFS (Network File System) storage protocol. NFS is the protocol utilized by AHV to provide storage to its hosted VMs, allowing efficient and seamless access to virtual disk files. Other protocols like SMB/CIFS, iSCSI, and Fiber Channel are not typically used in this context for accessing virtual disks within an AHV-managed environment.
it should be A
The key is: Which storage protocol is used for VMs to access VIRTUAL DISKS on the storage container? The only option possible in the list is iSCSI.
iSCSI is for external clients, not internal VMs.
I was wrong. It is iSCSI. Just read it in the Nutanix Bible.
Weird question... Corrige me if I'm wrong but iSCSI is used with Volume Group for VM (not Storage Conatainer) VMs access virtual disks on the storage container via IDE or SCSI. AHV host to storage container via iSCSI. If someone see what I miss, it would be very helpful.

Hyper V - SMB, AHV - NFS,
B is the correct answer
