A consultant is working with a customer on a new cluster deployment. While reviewing the customer questionnaire, the consultant notices that the customer has documented their DNS servers as follows: • CompanyDNSI 192.168.5.10 • CompanyDNS2 192.1685.20 What should the consultant consider regarding this deployment?

Nutanix clusters require IP addresses for various components including CVMs, hypervisor management, and cluster virtual IPs. When deploying in an environment using the common 192.168.x.x range, there's a risk of IP address conflicts between the new cluster components and existing infrastructure. The consultant must verify that all IP addresses allocated for the Nutanix deployment don't conflict with existing devices on the customer's network, including these DNS servers and any other systems in the 192.168.5.0/24 subnet.

A. Not everything is accounted for - IP conflict verification is still needed.

B. Internal Nutanix networking uses link-local addresses and won't interfere with installation completion.

C. CVMs don't need a separate network; they just need non-conflicting IPs on the existing network.
