A Nutanix cluster has 10TB usable storage. The customer wants to create a 100GB datastore for ISO images to eliminate too much storage being consumed by unnecessary images.
Which setting should be used to accomplish this goal?
A.
From Container Advanced Settings, configure 100GB for advertised capacity.
B.
From Container Advanced Settings, enable erasure coding.
C.
From Container Advanced Settings, turn on compression and deduplication.
D.
From Container Advanced Settings, configure 100GB for reserved capacity.
To limit a datastore to a specific capacity within a Nutanix cluster, the best approach is to configure the advertised capacity in the Container Advanced Settings. Setting the advertised capacity to 100GB ensures that this amount of storage is reported to external entities (like hypervisors or operating systems) as the total usable capacity of the datastore, effectively preventing the storage of additional data beyond this limit. This method is preferred over reserving capacity, which guarantees space for specific uses but doesn't limit the total size visible to the system.
