Hi all.
I have read the document about the different failure scenarios. For me it is still not clear, what really happens, if the data resiliency status is still critical and another node fails.
In the doc I read this: With two sets of physical disks that are inaccessible, there would be a chance that some VM data extents are missing completely.
In our starting time when using Nutanix (version 3.x) I remember our Nutanix partner was telling me, in such a case the cluster stops to make sure data keeps consistent.
Do I have some UVMs that are not working any more correctly or is cluster stopping and all UVMs are stopped?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards, Stefan

Data Resiliency Status critical - what happens when another node goes down?

So to be clear Stargate will not be happy with a 50% loss of capacity in the cluster and it may bring down the storage interface and limit access for all consumers. Not sure honestly when it shifts into a defensive mode so test well, but just know that on paper a 4 node RF2 cluster can tolerate 1 node w/o issues. Beyond that you are treading onto thin ice and corruption and availability will be very situational.
And be aware that it will need to reestablish a quorum when going to that 3rd node and sometimes that has been a bit wonky. Not sure what the goal is here, but just know "here be dragons".
