QuestionQ11

Section 1 – Manage Cluster, Nodes, and Features

An administrator recently experienced a node failure in an AMV Nutanix cluster. All VMs restarted on other cluster nodes, but the VMs comprising a SQL cluster had been running on the failed host. The administrator has been asked to implement measures that prevent a future SQL outage.

Which affinity option will prevent the SQL VMs from running on the same host?

  • A VM Anti Affinity policy
  • B Create Affinity Project
  • C VM-Host Affinity policy
  • D Create Affinity Category
Explanation

A VM Anti Affinity policy places the specified virtual machines on different hosts. Separating SQL cluster VMs across hosts prevents a single host failure from taking down all SQL cluster members. Nutanix documents VM-VM anti-affinity policies as the mechanism for keeping selected VMs apart.
