Troubleshoot a Nutanix Multicloud Environment

An administrator migrated a physical MySQL database from a legacy 3-Tier environment to a Nutanix cluster. After the migration, the administrator observes that, at peak load, the generated IOPS are lower than expected and latency is higher.

Which two actions should the administrator take to improve this behavior?

Choose two
  • A Create additional vDisks for SQL data.
  • B Use LVM to stripe the SQL data across multiple vDisks.
  • C Ensure that the SQL data vDisks are thin provisioned.
  • D Ensure that the SQL data vDisks are thick provisioned.
Explanation

Database I/O should be distributed across multiple vDisks to use more of the Nutanix storage architecture’s parallelism. LVM striping across the SQL data vDisks spreads each mount point’s I/O across those disks, increasing available I/O paths and reducing latency under peak load. Nutanix database guidance recommends using LVM striping across all vDisks for a database filesystem.
