2V0-41.24 Question 21
Select 3An administrator is planning the deployment of an NSX management cluster for a new environment. To ensure high availability and reliability of the NSX management plane, which considerations are correct when configuring the NSX Manager cluster?
- A
The NSX Manager cluster must have at least three nodes to provide redundancy.
- B
All NSX Manager nodes must be deployed in the same physical site to ensure network latency is minimized.
- C
The NSX Manager nodes in the cluster operate in an active-active-active configuration for the management plane.
- D
The NSX Manager cluster can function with a single node during upgrades or failure scenarios.
- E
The NSX Manager cluster automatically handles load balancing across nodes for API requests.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
For an NSX Manager cluster, a minimum of three nodes is necessary to ensure high availability and redundancy. The cluster operates in an active-active-active configuration, allowing all nodes to actively handle management tasks. Additionally, it automatically balances API requests across nodes. While low latency is important, nodes can be deployed across sites as long as latency requirements are met. The cluster can temporarily function with a single node, but this is not ideal for redundancy or availability.
- A. Correct.
Correct: A minimum of three nodes is required in the NSX Manager cluster to provide redundancy and high availability for the management plane.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While low latency between nodes is important, NSX Manager nodes can be deployed across multiple sites as long as they meet latency requirements. This statement is too restrictive.
- C. Correct.
Correct: NSX Manager nodes in the cluster operate in an active-active-active configuration, meaning all nodes can actively handle tasks for the management plane.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While the cluster can operate with a single node temporarily during upgrades or failures, this is not a recommended or long-term configuration for high availability.
- E. Correct.
Correct: The NSX Manager cluster automatically distributes and balances API requests across all active nodes to optimize performance.
