NCP-EUC Question #3: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

An administrator needs to deploy virtual desktops to a Hyper-V Nutanix cluster with writable differencing disks, The administrator will use read only master image with clones that link back to the image. Which native feature will the cluster use to complete this task?

Options

• AOplog
• BCompression
• CVM Flash Mode
• DShadow Clones

Explanation

The feature in Nutanix that would be used to complete the task of deploying virtual desktops to a Hyper-V Nutanix cluster with writable differencing disks using a read-only master image with clones that link back to the image is Shadow Clones. Shadow Clones allow for the creation of a snapshot or a clone of a VM that uses the original VM's disks as read-only, and only writes changes to a separate differencing disk. This is useful when deploying virtual desktops as it can reduce storage requirements and improve performance. Nutanix shadow clones are a feature that enables distributed caching of virtual disks (vDisks) that are in a multi-reader scenario. This can improve performance and reduce network traffic for scenarios such as VDI or private clone boot storms.
