An administrator is monitoring the Nutanix v5.15-based AOS cluster performance logs and notices that a SQL server VM is greatly exceeding its intended maximum IOPS. The administrator has confirmed that a QoS policy was previously created for the group of VMs this server is a member of.

What are two reasons that this VM would exceed its maximum configured IOPS from the QoS Policy? (Choose two.)

A.
The VM is missing the required snapshot needed to implement the QoS Policy.

An administrator needs to make sure an RF3 cluster can survive a failure of two complete racks without negatively affecting performance. The current cluster configuration consists of the following:

* 30 All Flash Nodes: distributed 10 nodes per rack across three 42U racks

* Each node is configured with 20TB usable storage all flash (Cluster Total 600TB Usable)

* Current cluster utilization is 500TB storage

* Storage containers have Erasure Coding enabled

Which configuration changes should be made to make sure the cluster meets the requirements?

Expand the cluster to 50 nodes distributed evenly across 5 racks

An administrator is planning to deploy a Nutanix cluster to support a few high-performance VMs. This deployment will have the following considerations:

* Individual VMs will likely generate network throughputs in the range of 90-100Mbps

* Due to the configuration of the VMs, it is unlikely that a node will host more than one or two of them at a time

* Individual VMs will communicate with only a few (one or two) remote hosts at a time

* Multicast will not be used in the environment

* The hosts are connected via two 1GbE network connections

How should the administrator configure the network bonds to meet this requirement while maintaining the simplest switch configuration?

An administrator is deploying an application using Nutanix Volumes. After configuring the volume group and connecting the guest's iSCSI initiator to the volume group, they begin performance testing.

The administrator learns that performance on the virtual disk attached to the iSCSI initiator is far less than that of a virtual disk connected directly to the VM.

Which situation is causing this condition?

A.
The VM's iSCSI traffic is being routed to the data services IP subnet
