NCP-US practice question 3 of 10
[Deploy and Upgrade Nutanix Unified Storage] Which two options show the correct minimum configurations when deploying Nutanix File servers? (Choose two.)
Full set: 106 questionsFor a production-ready, highly available Nutanix Files deployment, specific minimum resource allocations are required. The cluster must consist of at least three File Server VMs (FSVMs) to maintain quorum and service availability in case of a node failure. Furthermore, each of these FSVMs has a minimum resource requirement of 4 vCPUs and 12 GiB of memory to ensure stable performance for file services. These minimums are enforced during the deployment process in Prism Element to guarantee a supported configuration.
A (e.g., 1 FSVM): A single FSVM deployment lacks high availability and is only suitable for proof-of-concept or test environments, not the standard minimum configuration. B (e.g., 2 FSVMs): A two-FSVM deployment cannot form a stable quorum for high availability and is not a supported configuration for production clusters.
