NCP Exam - Question 1


An administrator needs to run a mixed Exchange and SQL workload with a guaranteed amount of container space for each application.

How should the administrator meet this requirement?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BD

In this scenario, the administrator needs to run a mixed Exchange and SQL workload with a guaranteed amount of container space for each application. To achieve this, the administrator should create two separate containers, one for each application, and reserve space for these containers. This ensures that each application has a dedicated amount of space, preventing one application from affecting the other's storage allocation. Creating one container would not allow for specific reservations for each application, and enabling compression does not address the need for guaranteeing space. Reserving space for vDisks is not correct because space reservation is performed at the container level.

In my opinion in this case you need to reserver a space for the containers, but the question wants to guarantee the amount of container space for each application (SQL and Exchange). So I think that the most correct is "Create two containers and reserve space for vDisks" in each app respectively.

As far as I know, there is no option to set vdisk reservation in Nutanix, it is only possible at the container level. Best option would be B.

D is correct, see link for demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmoPZdE4tww

Incorrect. Reservation is done for the container not the vDisk.

Agreed! Sounds like the answer is “B. Create two containers and reserve space for containers” from the question’s requirement

the video specifically suggests B as the answer as it edits the "storage container" and no mention of a vdisk

See… This scenario uses two physical upstream switches, and each 10 GbE interface in the bond plugs into a separate physical switch for high availability. In the bond, only one physical interface is active when using the default active-backup load balancing mode. Nutanix recommends using active-backup because it’s easy to configure, works immediately after install, and requires no upstream switch configuration. See the Load Balancing in Bond Interfaces section for more information and alternate configurations.

Space can be reserved for containers.
