Explanation:
Nutanix Volume Groups allow the cluster to act like a traditional SAN for external servers (like a physical SQL cluster). By creating a Volume Group, the administrator defines an iSCSI target that the external server can log into, allowing it to treat Nutanix storage as if it were a local physical disk.

Explanation:
IP Address Management (IPAM) is the native AHV feature that intercepts a VM's DHCP requests and automatically assigns an address from a defined pool.
A Nutanix virtual network is defined as either "managed" or "unmanaged" at the time of creation. This setting cannot be changed for an existing network; you must create a new one to enable IPAM.
When a VM NIC is added to a managed network, Nutanix automatically assigns it an available IPv4 address from the configured DHCP pool.

Explanation:
Nutanix prioritizes security and identity. Because NGT creates a secure "handshake" between the Controller VM and the Guest VM, that handshake cannot be duplicated. When you clone a VM, the system forces NGT into a Disabled state so that an admin can explicitly re-enable it, ensuring the new VM has its own unique, secure connection.

Explanation:
To perform a live migration of a vDisk between containers, the aCLI (accessed via any Controller VM) is the standard administrative tool. This process is often used when an admin wants to move a VM to a container with different features enabled (such as moving from a "Standard" container to one with "Compression" or "Erasure Coding") without interrupting the service of the running virtual machine.
