An administrator needs to create a storage container named TestData with the following conditions: Replication Factor (RF) = 1 (RF1) Inline Compression enabled Deduplication disabled Maximum storage capacity = 100 GiB How should the administrator complete this task?

To create a storage container with a specific maximum capacity on a Nutanix cluster, an administrator uses Prism Element. The "Advertised Capacity" setting within the storage container configuration is used to define this maximum size limit. When this value is set, Prism generates alerts if the container's usage approaches the configured limit, effectively capping its usable space. The other specified settings, such as Replication Factor, compression, and deduplication, are also configured during this creation process within Prism Element.

B. This option is incomplete. While the task is performed in Prism Element, this answer fails to specify how the 100 GiB capacity limit is configured.
C. This option is incorrect because "Reserved Capacity" guarantees a minimum amount of storage for the container from the storage pool; it does not set a maximum size limit.
D. This option is incomplete and less direct. It does not specify how the capacity limit is set, and Prism Element is the primary interface for single-cluster management tasks.

1. Nutanix Prism Element Web Console Guide (AOS 6.5), Section: Creating a Storage Container:

The guide details the procedure for creating a storage container using the Prism Element web console. In the "Advanced Settings" section, it explicitly defines the Advertised Capacity field: "Enter the maximum storage size that this storage container can use from the storage pool." This confirms it is the correct setting for limiting capacity.

2. Nutanix University - Nutanix Hybrid Cloud Fundamentals Courseware, Module: Storage Management:

This courseware explains that "Advertised Capacity" is a logical space limit set on a storage container. It contrasts this with "Reserved Capacity," which is used to guarantee a specific amount of physical space for critical workloads, reinforcing the correct use of each setting.

3. Nutanix Bible, Section: Storage Containers:

This resource clarifies the distinction between storage container settings. It describes Advertised Capacity (also known as max capacity) as the method to set a soft limit on the container size, which aligns with the administrator's requirement to set a "Maximum storage capacity."
