Question
An administrator is supporting two Nutanix Io-node AHV clusters (Cluster01 and Cluster02) dedicated for VDI workloads. The administrator has started receiving complaints regarding the performance of several full clone virtual desktops within Cluster01, upon review of both clusters, below are the discovered utilization metrics:
Cluster01 utilizations:
- Cluster CPU:85%
- Cluster Memory: 94%
- storage:50%
Cluster02 utilizations:
- Cluster CPU:30%
- Cluster Memory:35%
- storage:40%
Datacenter policy requires 20% resource overhead. Which action should the administrator take to resolve this issue?
Options
- AReview the VM Overview dashboard.
- BReview the Hardware dashboard.
- CUse X-Ray to migrate the virtual desktops.
- Duse a Recovery Plan to migrate the virtual desktops.

Explanation
Using a Recovery Plan to migrate the virtual desktops is correct. Nutanix Recovery Plans (part of the Leap/DR framework) can be used to orchestrate planned VM migrations between clusters - not just for disaster recovery, but also for workload balancing. Since Cluster01 violates the 20% overhead policy (memory at 94% leaves only 6% headroom) and Cluster02 has ample capacity, migrating full clone VMs to Cluster02 is the right resolution. The VM Overview dashboard (A) and Hardware dashboard (B) are monitoring tools, not remediation tools. X-Ray (C) is a benchmarking and performance testing tool designed for evaluating cluster performance, not for migrating production workloads.
