Suggested Answer: C,D Vote an answer
When performing maintenance (such as Life Cycle Manager updates) on a Nutanix cluster hosting Omnissa (VMware) Horizon Instant Clones, specific operational steps are required to avoid provisioning failures.
* Pool provisioning was not disabled (Option D): It is a mandatory best practice to disable provisioning in the Horizon Connection Server before starting cluster maintenance. If provisioning remains active, the broker attempts to create VMs on hosts that may be rebooting or entering maintenance mode, leading to error states.
* The host having maintenance performed contains the replica VMs (Option C): Instant Clones rely on a "Replica" VM (a powered-on parent VM) typically residing on one of the hosts. If the host holding this Replica VM enters maintenance mode without the broker's awareness or without proper evacuation handling, the "Link" required to generate new clones is broken, causing provisioning tasks to fail immediately.
