Which statement is true about the native file system of a hypervisor?
A.
It is installed on the guest operating systems of the virtual machines.
B.
It enables multiple hypervisors to write to shared storage concurrently.
C.
It supports built-in NFS and CIFS clients installed on NAS devices.
D.
It enables virtual machine files to be stored on multiple file systems.
A hypervisor’s native file system is usually a clustered file system, and the storage presented to it
is typically optimized to store the VM files. The file system can be deployed on the storage
provisioned either from a local storage, or from external storage devices connected through Fibre
Channel, iSCSI, or FCoE. The file system allows multiple hypervisors, running on different physical
compute systems, to read from and write to the same shared storage resources concurrently. This
enables high availability capabilities, such as the migration of VMs between clustered hypervisors
in the event of failure of one of the hypervisors or compute systems. A locking mechanism
ensures that a VM is not powered on by multiple hypervisors at the same time. When a hypervisor
fails, the locking mechanism for each VM running on the physical compute system is released. It
is then possible for the VMs to be restarted on other hypervisors
