For licensing reasons and to ensure compliance with software license terms, particularly for databases like SQL and Oracle RAC, VM-Host affinity policies are used. These policies help in pinning VMs to specific hosts. In this scenario, SQL Servers must be confined to specific hosts to manage licensing costs effectively, and similarly, Oracle RAC servers must be on separate hosts. The VM-Host affinity policy allows for such configuration by defining rules that keep VMs on specific hosts or separate them as needed.References:

The issue indicated is that the VMs, specifically the CVMs (Controller VMs), do not restart on the remaining nodes after a network cable is removed, demonstrating a failure of HA (High Availability). The setting that should be verified is "Host Monitoring" within the ESXi HA/DRS settings. This setting enables the host to monitor the state of other hosts in the cluster and take necessary actions like VM restarts on other hosts in the event of failures. If it's disabled, the cluster wouldn't automatically manage the failover of VMs upon host disconnection. References: Nutanix Bible ( ), Nutanix Official YouTube Training Series

During the Knowledge Transfer phase, providing the customer with the As-Built Guide, technical slides and checklists, along with links to documentation and resources, is optimal. This set of materials ensures the customer receives both detailed and high-level information, supporting a thorough understanding of the deployment and operational procedures, and it allows for easy reference to official resources for ongoing needs.References: The Nutanix Bible, NCS-Core 6.8 learning documentation, and best practices in IT project documentation.

After an onsite cluster deployment, the As-Built Guide is a crucial document that provides detailed information about the final configuration of the system. However, certain data in the As-Built Guide might require adjustment or might be missing completely.

In this case, the Nutanix Node Port Layout (Option A) and the Physical Rack Layout (Option C) are two data that might require adjustment or might be missing completely. The Nutanix Node Port Layout provides a visual representation of the network connections for each node in the cluster, while the Physical Rack Layout provides a visual representation of the physical arrangement of the nodes in the rack. Both of these data are crucial for understanding the physical and network configuration of the cluster, and any inaccuracies or omissions in these data could lead to confusion or issues in the future.

Therefore, the consultant should ensure that the Nutanix Node Port Layout and the Physical Rack Layout in the As-Built Guide are accurate and complete.
