Redundancy/Replication Factor:
Redundancy factor is the number of components that can be down in the cluster at any time+1
What are the requirements for a cluster to have a redundancy factor3?

The number of requirements must be match, Need to have 5 nodes and 5 Zookeepers requires
minimum. In addition to have 5 nodes each CVM has 24 GB RAM this is just performance prospective
requires sufficient ram for additional chellenges.
Two ways to configure:
1. Cluster Init page via “cluster max redundancy factor”
2. Command line with —"redundancy_factor”
Replication factor:
Two ways to configure
1. In Prism open container properties and update or set when creating a container.
2. At ncli with RF option.
Replication can be changed to dynamically it depends on container, Curator will take or handle
throughout replication in back ground process. Once replication factor set on container there are things
to consider number of performance impacts and also space utilization.
Metro Availability
Provides synchronous replication between two Nutanix clusters.
Prerequisites for MA:
1. At least 2 Nutanix clusters
2. 1WAN link connecting those clusters
3. A remote site configured on both clusters
4. The WAN link must have below 5 ms of latency.
To Change container’s replication factor:
First login to CVM through SSH
Type ncli to login to ncli mode/console
In order to verify cluster redundancy factor, run following command
Ncli>cluster get-redundancy-state

Ncli>ctr ls
Copy the UUID and make a command
Ncli>ctr edit id=uuid rf=3
Last thing we need to do that verify partial scan is running to do that login to Curator page and check
Single Node backup:
AOS 5.0 has new feature single node backup, Prior to AOS 5.0 the minimum nodes are require to
configure Nutanix cluster is 3. However, in Nutanix 5.0 we need single node backup cluster to create a
single node backup cluster to use for replication target.
Prism:
Storage pool: is a set of physical disks that configured as single storage disk group. SP is automatically
created when cluster is created, it’s not necessary to have more than one storage pool as software
dynamically optimized distributed resource pool.
Container: is logical separation of available storage within a storage pool.
Container percent differently depend on Hyper-V is access container as SMB share, ESXi access the
container as NFS datastore and AHV automatically manages vdisks iSCSI target on container. In many use
case single container for VM is sufficient.
Two containers automatically created when cluster is created. Default container for user VMs and
Management container for system files such as Acropolis file server configure packages.
However, the default container doesn’t have advance features compression, de-duplication, Reserve
capacity and other features. If someone wants those feature need to edit the container or create new
container.
Size Tool is a web based application tool used to size Nutanix cluster appropriate to measure metrics like
performance based on workloads.
CPU, Memory, Disk capacity and IOPS.
