Nutanix Exam NCS-Core Topic 1 Question 73 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCS-Core exam
Question #: 73
Topic #: 1
[All NCS-Core Questions]

A consultant deploys a new ESXi-based Nutanix cluster and migrates a sphere deployment to the cluster, After completing the deployment, the customer states they are experiencing VM performance issues.

Upon observing logs and performance data, the consultant identified the following symptoms.

Excessive read/write 1/Os on CVMs

Excessive Motion of VMs

What is causing this issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The customer is experiencing VM performance issues characterized by excessive read/write I/Os on CVMs and excessive motion of VMs due to the Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) in an ESXi-based Nutanix cluster. This is likely caused by the DRS migration threshold being set to Aggressive, which leads to frequent rebalancing of workloads across the cluster, causing high I/O and VM motion. Adjusting this setting to a less aggressive level can help reduce unnecessary VM motions and stabilize performance. Reference: Nutanix Bible, Nutanix University NCS-Core 6.8 learning materials

Maybe the cluster is configured to use Erasure Coding, which could also impact performance.

I agree with Gilma, if the threshold is too aggressive, it could be causing performance issues.

Option C, Deduplication, definitely. That's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, no wonder the VMs are dancing around.

I'm going with D, Aggressive DRS migration threshold. Sounds like the cluster's been doing the Cha Cha Slide a little too enthusiastically.

A: I think it might be because the DRS migration threshold is set to Aggressive.

Gotta be option B, Erasure Coding can really chew through those I/Os. Looks like the cluster's doing the Macarena a little too hard.

Yeah, Erasure Coding can definitely impact I/O performance on the cluster.

I think the issue might be related to the DRS migration threshold.

Hmm, excessive read/write I/Os and VM motion? Looks like someone's been playing musical chairs with their VMs.
