  A. VM to VM

  B. VM to Storage tier

  C. VM to Network VLAN

  Correct Answer: D

  The type of relationship that a VM Affinity policy defines is VM to Host. A VM Affinity policy is used to specify which host a virtual machine should be placed on. This can be used to ensure that certain VMs are always running on the same host for performance or availability reasons. Additionally, VM Affinity policies can also be used to ensure that VMs are spread across multiple hosts for better load balancing.

• Question 17:

  An administrator needs to upgrade AOS in a vSphere-based NutaniSJve-node cluster with no automatic live migration. VMs have neither affinity nor anti-affinity rules configured.

  What will happen to VMs during the AOS upgrade?

  A. VMs will be rebooted on other hosts.

  B. VMs will continue to run on the same host.

  C. Upgrade fails because host can't go in maintenance mode.

  D. AOS automatically live migrate VMs to other hosts.

  Correct Answer: B

  When upgrading AOS in a vSphere-based Nutanix cluster with no automatic live migration, the VMs will continue to run on the same host, providing that the VMs have neither affinity nor anti-affinity rules configured. The upgrade process will put the host into maintenance mode, which will cause the VMs running on that host to be suspended temporarily. Once the AOS upgrade is completed, the host will be taken out of maintenance mode, and the VMs will be resumed, but running on the same host. The AOS upgrade process does not automatically live migrate VMs to other hosts, because the automatic live migration feature is not enabled in the cluster.

  What is true about the network uplink ports?

  A. One is connected at 1GbE and the other is 10GbE.

  B. They are configured in Active-Backup mode.

  C. All are connected, but only two are carrying traffic.

  D. They are configured in Active-Active mode.

  Correct Answer: B

  In Nutanix, all the network uplink ports are connected, but only two of them are carrying traffic at any given time. This is done to provide redundancy and failover in case one of the ports fails. The two ports that are carrying traffic are chosen based on the link aggregation policy configured. The link aggregation policy can be configured to use either Active-Active or Active-Backup mode. In Active-Active mode, both ports are active and carrying traffic, while in Active-Backup mode, only one port is active and carrying traffic, the other port is on standby.
