Exam NCS-Core Topic 1 Question 59 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCS-Core exam
Question #: 59
Topic #: 1
While trying to upgrade AOS in a cluster, a consultant receives a warning message that there are two powered-on VMs that need to be powered off for the upgrade to proceed.
What would cause this warning to be issued?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

The warning message about powering off VMs during an AOS upgrade in a two-node cluster is issued because, in smaller clusters such as two-node configurations, resource availability and redundancy are limited.
To safely perform an upgrade without risking service disruption, the VMs need to be powered down to free up resources and ensure that there is sufficient capacity to handle the cluster operations during the upgrade process.References: Nutanix Bible, NCS-Core 6.8 course content, and Nutanix upgrade best practices.
