This exam is obsolete. It is not the NCM-MCI 6.5 break fix exam with 15 questions. It is an outdated exam. I would guess either 5.15 or 6.0, not 6.5.

Selected Answer: B

B. On the Nutanix Cluster once a disk (SSD-PCIe, SSD-SATA or DAS-SATA storage tier) reaches 95% full Stargate will not write to that disk https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA0600000008hfcCAA D. The question does not indicate the the data is cold, only cold data is read from HDD.
