RF3 on 3 Node Cluster | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
Is it possible to do RF3 with a 3 node cluster? If so any minimum requirements?
Hi Nick,



Here are the RF3 requirements:




  • A cluster must have at least five nodes, blocks, racks for redundancy factor 3 to be enabled.
  • For guest VMs to tolerate the simultaneous failure of two nodes or drives in different blocks, the data must be stored on storage containers with replication factor 3.
  • Controller VM must be configured with enough memory to support redundancy factor 3.
