QuestionQ60

Configure Disaster Recovery and Data Protection within a Nutanix Multicloud Environment

An administrator manages a 4-node cluster with mixed hardware configured as follows:

  • Two G5 Nodes: 2 CPUs, 12 Cores, 1 SSD 1.92 TB, 2 HHDs 4 TB
  • Two G7 Nodes: 2 CPUs, 16 Cores, 2 SSD 1.92 TB, 4 HDDs, 4 TB

The G5 Nodes are nearing end of support and must be replaced. The cluster will be retired from production and used for Disaster Recovery with a 1 hour RPO.

What is the supported configuration for swapping the G5 nodes without compromising performance?

  • A New node must have at least 2 SSDs.
  • B New node must be G7 or G8.
  • C New node must have 2 CPUs with 12 cores.
  • D New node must be hybrid.
Explanation

A replacement hybrid HCI node requires a minimum of two SSD drives. This provides the required flash-tier configuration for the node and avoids introducing an undersized SSD tier that could impair performance and the 1-hour recovery-point objective. Node generation and CPU core count are not the governing storage requirement.
