Question 7

A company is using Citrix for virtual desktops on Nutanix with AHV. The studio has 10,000 users who will be connecting to this infrastructure and have deployed a dedicated Files cluster for holding the user home shares.

Since this is a dedicated cluster with dual Intel 6242 28 GHz 16 Core processors and 192GB of RAM, what should be done for the FSVM and

CVM configuration to allow for optimal performance?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

○
Increase the CVM vCPUs to 16 and the FSW vCPUs to 12.
○
Increase the CVM RAM to 64GB and the FSVM RAM to 96GB.
○
Leave the CVM vCPUs et 12 and increase the FSVM vCPUs to 8,
○
Leave the CVM RAM at 32GB and increase the FSVM RAM to 96GB.

Reference / correct answer:

Leave the CVM RAM at 32GB and increase the FSVM RAM to 96GB.

The file server VM (FSVM) is a virtual machine that runs on Nutanix Files and provides file services such as SMB shares and NFS exports. The FSVM is based on CentOS and incorporates all the security and hardening that goes into the Nutanix Controller VM (CVM)2. The CVM is a virtual machine that runs on each node of a Nutanix cluster and provides storage management, data protection, cluster coordination, and other services3.

The FSVMs have some default configuration settings that can be changed depending on your workload requirements. For example, you can change the number of vCPUs, RAM, network interfaces, or disk size of an FSVM2. However, you should not change these settings without consulting Nutanix Support first.

One of the factors that affects the performance of an FSVM is its memory allocation. The more memory an FSVM has, the more cache it can use for file operations. This can improve the throughput and latency of file serving workloads4. Therefore, increasing the FSVM RAM to 96GB can help optimize its performance for a large number of users.
