NCP Exam - Question 77


Hypervisors communicate with DSF using the industry-standard protocols.

Which industry-standard protocols do hypervisors use to communicate with DSF? (Choose three.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CDE

The industry-standard protocols used by hypervisors to communicate with DSF are NFS, SMB3, and iSCSI. NFS (Network File System) is a protocol used to share files over a network. SMB3 (Server Message Block version 3) is a protocol for network file sharing. iSCSI (Internet Small Computer Systems Interface) is a protocol that allows the transport of block-level data over IP networks. SAN and NAS are not protocols but types of storage architectures, making them incorrect choices in this context.

Communication between the hypervisor and Nutanix occurs via standard storage protocols (e.g. iSCSI, NFS, SMBv3) over the local interface of the CVM and hypervisor. CDE are correct.
