Question

An administrator is planning to deploy a Nutanix cluster to support a few high-performance VMs. This deployment will have the following considerations:

  • Individual VMs will likely generate network throughputs in the range of 90-100Mbps
  • Due to the configuration of the VMs, it is unlikely that a node will host more than one or two of

them at a time

  • Individual VMs will communicate with only a few (one or two) remote hosts at a time
  • Multicast will not be used in the environment
  • The hosts are connected via two 1GbE network connections

How should the administrator configure the network bonds to meet this requirement while maintaining the simplest switch configuration?

Options

  • AConfigure bond0 as balance-sib
  • BConfigure bond0 as active-backup
  • CConfigure bond0 as balance-tcp
  • DConfigure bond0 as balance-lacp
