An administrator needs to optimize a VM's storage by leveraging compression features. The VM's vDisks are currently stored in a default storage container with no optimizations enabled. How should…

Question

Options

• AMigrate vDisks to the Production storage container.
• BRecreate the VM in the Production storage container and copy data.
• CMigrate the VM to the Production storage container.
• DRecreate the vDisk in the Production storage container and copy data.

• B

• D

Explanation

In Nutanix, storage optimizations like compression are applied at the storage container level, not per-VM or per-vDisk configuration. Since the Production container has compression enabled and the default container does not, moving the vDisks to the Production container is sufficient to enable compression. Nutanix supports live vDisk migration between containers (similar to VMware Storage vMotion), so the vDisks can be migrated without recreating the VM or copying data manually. Option C ('migrate the VM') is incorrect because a VM migration in AHV moves the VM to a different host, not a different storage container. Options B and D unnecessarily involve recreating resources.
