Q

Disk Failure

A

1) Copy the impacted data from other nodes
2) Start self-healing

17
Q

Node Failure

A

1) VM is rebooted on another node

18
Q

Resilience and Self Healing

A
  1. Nutanix assumes eventual HW failure
  2. RF2 is common
  3. Watch out for warnings
  4. The larger the cluster the faster the rebuild
