2V0-41.24 Question 20
Select 2An administrator is setting up an NSX management cluster in their environment. During deployment, they want to ensure that the management cluster is properly configured for high availability and redundancy. Which of the following considerations are critical for setting up the NSX management cluster correctly?
- A
The NSX Manager nodes in the management cluster must be distributed across different ESXi hosts.
- B
A minimum of two NSX Manager nodes are required to form a management cluster.
- C
The management plane is automatically highly available without requiring a cluster.
- D
The NSX Manager cluster should have a virtual IP address (VIP) configured for management access.
- E
The NSX Manager nodes must all be deployed in the same data center for cluster communication.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D
Explanation
To ensure high availability and redundancy in an NSX management cluster, it is critical to distribute NSX Manager nodes across different ESXi hosts to prevent a single point of failure. Additionally, configuring a virtual IP address (VIP) is essential for seamless management access and availability. A minimum of three NSX Manager nodes are required to form a cluster, and they can span multiple data centers provided network connectivity is maintained.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Distributing NSX Manager nodes across different ESXi hosts ensures high availability and prevents a single point of failure in case of host failure.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. A minimum of three NSX Manager nodes are required to form a management cluster for proper redundancy and fault tolerance.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. High availability for the management plane requires a properly configured management cluster, not automatic failover.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Configuring a virtual IP address (VIP) for the NSX Manager cluster allows seamless management access and ensures availability in case of node failure.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. NSX Manager nodes can be deployed across multiple data centers, as long as they maintain proper network connectivity with each other for cluster communication.
