NCM-MCI Exam - Question 16


A customer with a four-node RF2 cluster is adding application VMs to their system. After adding these Vms, the Prism dashboard shows 81% storage utilization.

What is the consequence of running the cluster at 81% storage utilization?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

Running the cluster at 81% storage utilization means the cluster is not resilient in the storage fabric. This is because the cluster relies on having a certain percentage of free space to redistribute data in case of a node failure. With storage utilization at 81%, the cluster does not have enough free space to ensure data can be redistributed and replicated properly if one node fails, thus making it non-resilient.

D IS THE answer because each node has 25% of storage. So if your at 81% at lose 1 node that would result in 81% with only 75% of capacity

Do the math: M = 0.9 x (T - N1). Assume total storage is 100G, that would put the max at 67.5GB or 67.5%. See this article: https://next.nutanix.com/how-it-works-22/recommended-guidelines-for-maximum-storage-utilization-on-a-cluster-38531
