Question 1 Single choice

An administrator needs to decide whether a cluster is ready for a planned update and wants to review the current condition of the environment first.

Which action should the administrator perform?

  1. A

    Change the cluster license level

  2. B

    Run a cluster health check

  3. C

    Create a new storage container

  4. D

    Modify the replication factor

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Run a cluster health check is the appropriate focus because A cluster health check is the right readiness review before a planned update because it examines current conditions and known issues. Run a cluster health check maps the scenario to site recovery planning, which is the boundary that determines where the administrator should act in a Nutanix environment. Run a cluster health check keeps the operation in a supported path with predictable cluster behavior when multiple nodes, services, workloads, or management views are involved. Run a cluster health check should be remembered as a functional match: identify the requested outcome, then choose the Nutanix component that owns that outcome.

Change the cluster license level is a neighboring term, but Run a cluster health check carries the responsibility that satisfies the requirement. Create a new storage container should be ruled out because the behavior under discussion belongs to Run a cluster health check. Modify the replication factor points to a separate concern, so comparing it with Run a cluster health check helps isolate the actual administrative function. Run a cluster health check is also a useful study anchor because it links the scenario wording to a real administrative action instead of to a term that only shares the same general topic.
