When registering a Nutanix cluster with NDB, a manual storage mapping between the remote container and the NDB provisioning container is required if the NDB Server container and NDB Provisioning container are separate. This separation occurs when the storage containers used by the NDB server (for its own operations) and the provisioning container (for database VMs) are distinct, either due to multi-cluster setups or custom configurations. Manual mapping ensures NDB can correctly allocate storage resources and manage database provisioning across these containers.
Other conditions do not necessitate manual mapping:
B. Disaster Recovery Network Segmentation is enabled on the cluster: This affects networking, not storage mapping.
C. Nutanix Database Service High Availability is enabled on the cluster: HA configurations handle replication, not container mapping.
D. DB VMs are stored in the NDB Server or NDB Provisioning container: This is a typical setup and does not require manual mapping unless containers differ.
Thus, the verified answer is A, addressing storage container separation.
