Exam NCP-MCI-6.10 Topic 1 Question 62 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-MCI-6.10 exam
Question #: 62
Topic #: 1
An administrator migrated a physical MySQL database to a Nutanix cluster. After migration, peak load IOPS are lower than expected and latency is higher.
Which two steps should the administrator take to improve this behavior? (Choose two.)

Suggested Answer: A,B Vote an answer

Nutanix storage architecture uses distributed data paths, where each vDisk represents a distributed logical object. The performance best practices for databases state:
"Multiple vDisks provide parallelism across the Nutanix storage stack, increasing I/O queue depth and distributing operations across multiple CVMs." Also, the guidance for Linux-based database workloads specifies:
"Using LVM striping across multiple vDisks increases throughput by merging multiple I/O channels and enhancing parallel read/write operations." Thin vs thick provisioning is irrelevant for performance in a Nutanix environment, as both types deliver identical I/O performance due to the metadata-driven storage engine.
Thus, database performance benefits from additional vDisks and striping across them.
