Exam NCP-MCI-6.5 Topic 6 Question 90 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-MCI-6.5 exam
Question #: 90
Topic #: 6
The administrator recently had a node fail in an AHV Nutanix cluster. All of the VMs restarted on other nodes in the cluster, but they discovered that the VMs that make up a SQL cluster were running on the failed host.
The administrator has been asked to take measures to prevent a SQL outage in the future.
What affinity option will prevent the SQL VMs from running on the same hos?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

A: VM-VM anti-Affinity policy
A VM-VM anti-Affinity policy is a rule that ensures that two or more VMs don't run on the same AHV host.
It's useful when an application provides HA and an AHV host can't be an application's single point of failure1. In this case, the SQL cluster VMs should have a VM-VM anti-Affinity policy configured to prevent them from running on the same host and causing an outage if that host fails. A VM-VM anti-Affinity policy can be created using the aCLI commands2. The other options are not relevant for this scenario.
