NCP Exam - Question 79


An administrator migrates a Windows VM from an ESXi host to a Nutanix AHV cluster. When powered on, the migrated VM fails to start. The VM console shows the error message:

Cannot locate boot device -

What should the administrator confirm to identify the reason that the VM fails to boot?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

When migrating a VM from an ESXi host to a Nutanix AHV cluster, it is essential to ensure that Nutanix VirtIO drivers are installed on the VM before the migration. These drivers are necessary for AHV to properly communicate with the VM's virtual hardware, including disk and network interfaces. If these drivers are not installed, the VM may fail to locate the boot device and will not start correctly.
