Question
An administrator receives an alert in Prism stating:
"Storage container <container_name> on cluster <cluster_name> will run out of storage resources in approximately 1 day." However, the cluster has plenty of available space remaining. What configuration setting is causing the container to run out of space while the cluster has space remaining?
Options
- AAdvertised Capacity is set too low.
- BReserved Capacity is set too high.
- CCompression is set too low.
- DReplication Factor is set too high.

Explanation
In Nutanix, each storage container can have a Reserved Capacity setting, which guarantees a minimum amount of cluster storage exclusively for that container. If other containers have Reserved Capacity set too high, they lock away large portions of the cluster's physical storage for their own use, making that space unavailable to the container that is running low. From the perspective of the affected container, the overall cluster appears to have free space, but that space is already reserved by other containers and cannot be used. Lowering the Reserved Capacity on the over-provisioned containers would release that space back to the shared pool.
