For high-performance databases like MySQL, optimizing storage access is critical.

Option B (Create additional vDisks for SQL data) is correct:

Multiple vDisks allowbetter parallelismin NutanixDSF (Distributed Storage Fabric), improving IOPS.

Option C (Use LVM to stripe SQL data across multiple vDisks) is correct:

Striping across multiple disksdistributes the load, reducing latency.

Option A (Thick provisioned vDisks) is incorrect:

Nutanixalways provisions vDisks thinly, and thick provisioningdoes not improve IOPS.

Option D (Thin provisioned vDisks) is incorrect:

All Nutanix vDisksare thin-provisioned by default.
