Which statement best defines Replication Factor 2 (RF2)?

Question

Options

• AData will be written locally, and a second copy then will be replicated to another cluster
• BData will be written locally, and a second copy to another disk group
• CData will be written locally, and a second copy goes to a remote site
• DData will be written locally, and a second copy goes to another node in the same cluster

• B
  4% (2)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  94% (44)

Explanation

Replication Factor 2 (RF2) means Nutanix maintains exactly two copies of every piece of data. The primary copy is written locally on the node where the VM resides, and a second replica is written to a different node within the same cluster. This protects against a single node failure while keeping both copies inside the same cluster. Option A describes cross-cluster replication (which would be a Disaster Recovery or Metro Availability scenario). Option B incorrectly suggests replication to another disk group on the same node. Option C describes an off-site replication, which is not RF2 behavior.
