Selected Answer: A
In Nutanix AHV, if a VM’s vDisk is stored in an RF1 (Replication Factor 1) datastore, it cannot be live-migrated because RF1 provides no redundancy. If a host needs to go into maintenance mode or fails, there would be a risk of data loss for any VM on that host with RF1 storage, as there's no secondary copy of the data elsewhere in the cluster. In this scenario, Nutanix Prism would likely prevent live migration and display a message indicating that the "VM is not live migratable" due to the lack of data redundancy. So, given the context, Option A is the correct choice for why the VM cannot be live-migrated.

correct answer appears to be A. "What is a potential reason for this dialog?" is the key question here and if C said "LinuxVM1 uses a virtual GPU *AND is trying to migrate when no GPUs are available on another host." then that would be correct. But it doesn't say that.

A is the correct answer {If you want maintenance operations like upgrades and failure handling to be as efficient as possible, you need the ability to migrate your VMs. With AHV, you can live-migrate VMs with vGPU assignments.} https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=TN-2038-AHV:vgpu.html

For sure the answer is A. This is listed as a feature limitation of RF1 vDisks: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000LUKeCAO

I believe the answer is A. VMs with RF1 vDisks are required to shutdown and restart when the relevant node/cvm go into maintenance or upgrade.

but it isn't shown here if the storage is RF1 or not ??

It's because being on an RF1 datastore is the only of those four options that would generate this message.

So this one is pretty tricky. I think it's the right answer, since none of the other options are viable. While Virtual GPUs are supported for live migrations, it's best effort and will not work if there's not enough GPU resources in the destination https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Prism-Central-Guide-vpc_2023_3:mul-vgpu-live-migrate-pc-c.html

"While Virtual GPUs are supported for live migrations" eliminates C as a possible correct answer. "It will not work if there's not enough GPU resources" isn't any more compelling than "it will not work if there's not enough memory in the destination." Neither one flags a VM is not live migrateable. Definitely A, and the other comment's link to RF1 limitations confirms it.
