Question 9

Which three cluster operations require an administrator to reclaim licenses?(Choose three)

  • B. Upgrade a cluster
  • C. Migrate a cluster
  • D. Remove a Node from a cluster
  • E. Move Nodes between clusters.
Mark Question:

A, D, E


Explanation:
https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details/?targetId=Web_Console_Guide-Prism_v4_7:lic_licensing_managing_c.html
Reclaiming Licenses (Including License Renewal)
You can reclaim and optionally re-apply licenses for nodes in your clusters:
You must reclaim licenses when you plan to destroy a cluster. First reclaim the licenses, then destroy
the cluster. You do not need to reclaim Starter licenses. These licenses are automatically applied
whenever you create a cluster, including after you have destroyed a cluster.
Return licenses to your inventory when you remove one or more nodes from a cluster. Also, if you
move nodes from one cluster to another, first reclaim the licenses, move the nodes, then re-apply
the licenses.
You can reclaim licenses for nodes in your clusters in cases where you want to make modifications or
downgrade licenses. For example, applying an Ultimate license to all nodes in a cluster where some
nodes are currently licensed as Pro and some nodes are licensed as Ultimate. You might also want to
transition nodes from Ultimate to Pro licensing.
You must reclaim licenses when you renew licenses. First reclaim the expired licenses, then apply
new licenses.
