Nutanix Exam NCS-Core Topic 4 Question 71 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCS-Core exam
Question #: 71
Topic #: 4
[All NCS-Core Questions]

A consultant is running Foundation discovery with Foundation VM and is unable to dynamically discover the nodes. The consumer needs another method to image the nodes.

What information does the consultant need to do bare metal Foundation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

When using the Foundation tool for bare metal imaging of Nutanix nodes and dynamic discovery is not possible, the consultant needs the IPMI MAC Address of the nodes. This address is used to identify each node uniquely through its IPMI for remote management purposes, allowing the Foundation VM to interact directly with each node's base management controller (BMC) for the imaging process.

Serial number? IPMI MAC? LAN MAC? Sounds like a bunch of techno-babble to me. I'm just gonna go with 'D' and hope for the best.

I dunno, guys. Isn't the LAN MAC Address the one we use to actually image the node? Feels like the right answer to me.

Nah, man. Serial number of the node is where it's at. That's the unique identifier we need for bare metal Foundation.

The IPMI MAC Address seems like the logical choice here. How else is the consultant gonna remotely control the nodes, right?
