NCP Exam - Question 91


An administrator needs to provide iSCSI storage to a VM on the Nutanix cluster running ESXi.

Which native Nutanix feature should be leveraged to meet this requirement?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BD

To provide iSCSI storage to a VM on a Nutanix cluster running ESXi, the native feature that should be leveraged is Acropolis Block Service (ABS). ABS is designed specifically for exposing block storage (iSCSI LUNs) to external systems, including ESXi hosts. This makes it the most appropriate feature for the requirement described.
