What is the minimum RPO supported for a single-node or two-node cluster?

The correct answer is B. 6 hours. Nutanix imposes a minimum Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 6 hours for single-node and two-node cluster configurations. This limitation exists because small-footprint deployments (1–2 nodes) have constrained resources - limited CPU, memory, and I/O bandwidth - which cannot suppo

Explanation

Nutanix imposes a minimum Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 6 hours for single-node and two-node cluster configurations. This limitation exists because small-footprint deployments (1–2 nodes) have constrained resources - limited CPU, memory, and I/O bandwidth - which cannot support the overhead of frequent snapshot and replication cycles required for shorter RPOs.

In contrast, larger clusters (3+ nodes) can support RPOs as low as 1 hour or even minutes (with synchronous replication/Metro Availability). The 6-hour floor for tiny clusters ensures cluster stability and performance are not compromised by excessive replication overhead.
