In Active-backup mode, one network interface is active while the other is in standby mode. If the active interface fails, the standby interface takes over, providing seamless failover without any disruption to user VMs. In this case, since the cluster has two 10 GbE ports on each node, and only one link has failed, the user VMs will continue to operate normally using the second link.

The Prism Central image repository is a centralized location for storing virtual machine images that can be used to deploy VMs to any cluster managed by Prism Central. When an image is imported into Prism Central, a copy of the image is made and stored in the repository, so that it can be easily accessed and deployed to any cluster as needed.

The original image file typically remains in the source cluster after it is imported into Prism Central, unless it is explicitly deleted. Similarly, the image copy in the Prism Central repository is not automatically copied to all clusters managed by Prism Central, but can be used to deploy new VMs on any cluster as needed.

A vDisk is a file that is stored on storage devices owned by a CVM. A vDisk represents a virtual disk that is attached to a VM or a CVM. A Storage Pool is a logical grouping of physical disks in a cluster. An Extent Group is a collection of data blocks that belong to a vDisk. A Container is a logical grouping of vDisks that share the same storage policies and settings. References: https://www.nutanix.com/content/dam/nutanix/resources/misc/ebg-nca-6-5.pdf (pages 31-32)
