[: The NX-1065S-G5 node specifications indicate certain limitations that might not meet the critical requirements for uptime and performance., Single Power Supply:, Explanation: A single power supply represents a single point of failure. For environments where uptime is critical, redundancy in power supply is necessary to avoid downtime in case of power supply failure., Reference: High availability setups typically require dual power supplies to ensure redundancy., 1Gb Networking:, Explanation: 1Gb networking is insufficient for high-performance SQL Server environments. Higher network throughput (such as 10Gb or higher) is required to handle the database traffic efficiently., Reference: Network performance is crucial for SQL Server databases, especially when performance and uptime are critical., Other Options Considered:, Limited to 4 nodes: Not a significant factor if the scale of the environment is known and fits within this limit., Single HDD: Typically, nodes will have multiple drives configured for redundancy and performance., Single Socket Processor: While it may impact performance, redundancy and network capability are more critical in this scenario., Conclusion:, TheSingle Power Supplyand1Gb Networkingaspects of the NX-1065S-G5 would cause an SE to filter out this node from Sizer's automatic configuration due to the need for redundancy and high performance., References:, Nutanix Hardware Specifications., Nutanix Sizer Tool Documentation., , ]
