An administrator would like to load balance an SMB share across multiple FSVMs.

In Nutanix Files,SMB load balancingacross multiple File Server VMs (FSVMs) is achieved by enabling theDistributedconfiguration. When the distributed option is enabled for a share, the file service can actively balance the load across multiple FSVMs, optimizing performance and client access.

The NUSA course states:

“The Distributed option for SMB shares allows load balancing of client connections across multiple FSVMs. This improves performance and ensures more efficient use of resources.”

The other options (Disaster Recovery, Multiple Copies, High Availability) are related to resilience and data protection but not directly to load balancing of SMB shares.
